Shah Rukh Khan is known for his impeccable lip-syncing skills, so much so that even Alia Bhatt once took lessons from the superstar. However, the actor recently admitted that he found it difficult to keep up with Ed Sheeran's fast-paced lyrics in King's song Tu Mil Jaaye. While Shah Rukh struggled to remember the words, he was thoroughly impressed with how effortlessly his daughter, Suhana Khan, lip-synced to the track.

Shah Rukh was quick to react to the video and wrote, "How do you remember the words it was so difficult for me because Ed sings so fast!!!" Fans were thrilled to see the superstar's comment. One fan wrote, "because she's your daughter." Another commented, "She got these skills from you." Another comment read, "father cheering for his daughter is the best thing ever." Yet another fan wrote, "everything is possible for King and his princess."

About Tu Mil Jaaye

Ed Sheeran's vocals in Shah Rukh's song Tu Mil Jaaye took everyone by surprise. The first track from the actor's upcoming film, King, also features vocals by Arijit Singh and Madhubanti Bagchi.

In a social media post, Ed revealed that his association with Shah Rukh Khan had grown over the years following their first meeting. He recalled how the actor had suggested that he create a song for his next film, marking his Bollywood debut. The British singer also recalled visiting Shah Rukh's house during his last trip to India to shoot a cameo for his song Sapphire, featuring Arijit Singh. During that visit, Shah Rukh introduced him to music composer duo Sachin-Jigar. Sheeran revealed that he wrote and recorded his verse for Tu Mil Jaaye that very night.
