Inside Shah Rukh Khan’s life as a doting father: From teaching his kids, dropping them off at schools
From personally dropping the kids to school to helping them with their studies, Shah Rukh Khan ensured he remained a constant presence in lives of his kids.
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan may live life in the fast lane, juggling hectic shoot schedules and globe-trotting commitments, but when it comes to family, the actor hits pause without hesitation. According to his former bodyguard, the actor was always hands-on with wife Gauri Khan and their children: Suhana Khan, Aryan Khan and AbRam.
From personally dropping the kids to school to helping them with their studies, the superstar ensured he remained a constant presence in their lives. Not just that, he would also carve out dedicated time every year for family.
Shah Rukh’s former bodyguard opens up
Recently, Shah Rukh Khan’s former security head Yaseen Khan spoke about working with the superstar in a podcast which was posted on Hindi Rush. Yaseen worked for Shah Rukh and his family for 10 years from 2001 till 2011. During the conversation, he mentioned that he has never seen a more hands-on celebrity father than Shah Rukh.
“He’d always attend their sports programmes. He’d drop them to school whenever he was in town irrespective of how exhausted he was. The best thing about him was that even when he was shooting in the US, he’d study on his own and then teach his children online for their exams… In my 10 years, I’d never seen him tell Gauri bhabhi, ‘I’m tired, I won’t come.’ He’s always ready for family,” said Yaseen, who now heads a security agency often enrolled by top stars and cricketers.
The former bodyguard shared that Shah Rukh would carve out two months every year to unwind in London, spending quality time with family and close friends. During these breaks, the actor and his children would often head to Hyde Park for football matches alongside Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, and Sanjay Kapoor, as well as their kids.
Talking about Aryan, Yaseen shared, “Aryan trained in gymnastics for some time. He does really nice somersaults. A few years ago, when I met him, after catching up, he told me, ‘You used to say I can’t do this somersault, right?’ He showed me that somersault right then! He’s a lot into sports, just like his father… Aryan is a very nice kid. Right from the start, he used to treat the elders with respect. Shah Rukh sir has always taught him that.”
Shah Rukh is married to Gauri Khan and they have three kids together. There is his eldest son Aryan Khan, only daughter Suhana Khan and youngest son AbRam.
