Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been ruling Bollywood for over three decades and still captivates his fans with his generosity. King Khan has recently admitted that nothing keeps him more grounded than his family.

During a recent interview with Screen, Shah Rukh Khan talked candidly about the impact of his kids, Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, and AbRam Khan, and how they have kept him focused on the things that are really important, aside from success and celebrity.

The actor reflected on the hiatus he took following Zero (2018) and said, “What shifted in those four years?, adding, “As people around the globe returned to their families during the Covid-19 pandemic, I reconnected with mine too. Always a hands-on father, I was never distant from my kids — but spending undivided time with them made me value what I have and return to form with a renewed vigour.”

The actor further noted that his kids, Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan and AbRam are his best critics.

“My children are my best critics! My family is my North Star who keeps me grounded and reminds me of what truly matters, no matter how busy life becomes,” he noted.

The actor further noted, “Legacy isn’t solely defined by professional achievements, but by the values and memories I share with my family. Balancing both comes down to being fully present. While I pursue my passions and work, I never lose sight of the simple joys of being a father.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his highly anticipated King. He will soon share screen with his daughter, Suhana, for the first time in Siddharth Anand’s action thriller.

Talking about sharing screen with Suhana, he said, “Seeing them continue to explore new interests and express themselves with confidence, I feel grateful that we shared such a meaningful chapter together.”

King is scheduled to hit the theatres this Christmas.
