  • Suhana finds balance between her father's deep advice and her mother's clarity

Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan has recently revealed that her parents still have the last say when it comes to important decisions. Despite this, the actress noted that she is keen to try new things and explore alternative options as she forges her own path.

In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar India, Suhana spoke about her life and career choices.

She admitted that she has become more self-assured with time, which has increased her readiness to try new things. Suhana acknowledges that instinct leads the way when making decisions, with reasoning coming in second. All of that is accompanied by a certain amount of overthinking.

Suhana said, “I have to ask my parents. They get the final say.”

Suhana acknowledged in the interview that her parents are still her closest confidants and that she turns to them when she's feeling uncertain.

She continued by pointing out how their counsel differs. Suhana adds that her father gives her deep insights about life as well as broad, lyrical counsel. She said that her mother, Gauri, is straightforward and uses stark clarity to cut through the clutter. Suhana claims she finds equilibrium between the two. She prefers to focus on one thing at a time, one activity at a time, and one moment at a time when she is under pressure.

Suhana made her acting debut with Netflix’s The Archies (2023), an adolescent musical film helmed by Zoya Akhtar. Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Aditi "Dot" Saigal, and Yuvraj Menda were among the other actors in the movie. The Archies was the Indian version of the well-known Archie Comics.

It took place in 1964 in the Anglo-Indian community of Riverdale, a made-up Indian hill station. Reviews were mixed when it first opened.

Suhana will now star opposite her famous father, Shah Rukh Khan, in King, her big-screen debut. Her father is actually preparing her for the movie. The movie, which is directed by Siddharth Anand, will be released in 2026. Deepika Padukone, Suhana Khan, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma are among the other actors in the movie.
