Celebrity couple Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan have been together for decades, and their interfaith marriage frequently makes headlines. Fans frequently wonder whose religion their kids, Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan and AbRam Khan will follow.
However, Gauri once addressed the topic and admitted that their older son, Aryan, will always follow Shah Rukh’s religion.
In a throwback episode of Koffee with Karan, Gauri got candid about faith in their family and shared that mutual respect is the secret ingredient of their lasting marriage and their strong family.
Gauri said, “Aryan is so into Shah Rukh that he would follow his religion… He always says, 'I am a Muslim.'" She added that this would often leave her mother surprised and unsure how to respond, but acknowledged that it's simply the reality they’ve embraced as a family.”
Gauri then stressed the importance of mutual respect in their interfaith marriage and revealed that there’s a balance in their home. She also shared that she and Shah Rukh equally respect their religion, and she never feels the need to convert.
The interior designer said, “Everybody is an individual and follows their own religion.”
Shah Rukh Khan talks about his family’s approach to religion.
During a previous appearance on Dance Plus Season 5, Shah Rukh Khan revealed how he and Gauri Khan approach religion in his interfaith family. Despite being of different religions, Shah Rukh revealed that he and Gauri have raised their kids with a sense of national identity.
King Khan recalled a moment when his daughter, Suhana Khan, asked about their religion for a school form. However, the actor made it clear that they don’t have a religion. Shah Rukh said, “We are Indian. We don't have a religion.”
