Shah Rukh Khan says Aryan Khan can't afford his tantrums

Shah Rukh Khan, the King of Wit in Bollywood, never fails to make the internet a happier place, and his most recent #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter) was no different.

Known for his quick comebacks and charming humility, the superstar once again turned casual fan questions into moments that had everyone smiling.

When a fan asked, “Can we see your son directing you in a full-fledged movie? #ASKsrk” — referring to Aryan Khan, who recently made his directorial debut — SRK cheekily replied, “If he can afford me!!! And my tantrums.”

The internet erupted in laughter, with fans calling him “the wittiest man in Bollywood” and “the king of comebacks.”

Aryan Khan has indeed been carving his own creative journey. Earlier this year, he made his directorial debut under Red Chillies Entertainment, Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan’s production banner, with the Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood.

The project, which premiered on 18 September, offered a bold, stylised look at the darker side of the Hindi film industry and quickly gained traction for its edgy storytelling and fresh visual flair.

In another heartwarming exchange during the same session, a fan asked SRK how it felt to be directed by Aryan in The Bads of Bollywood and now to share screen space with Suhana Khan in his upcoming action-thriller King.

The fan wrote, “How does it feel being directed by Aryan in some scenes and now acting alongside Suhana in your upcoming film? Must be a proud dad moment!”

SRK, true to his grounded nature, responded with sincerity: “On sets I respect them like my colleagues and appreciate their inputs and hard work. Off sets, I just wish and pray their hard work pays off.”

Shah Rukh Khan is currently gearing up for his upcoming film King with Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Jaideep Alhawat and others.
