Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan has offered a glimpse into life at home with wife Gauri Khan, joking about the house rules she sets and revealing that he is not allowed to complain about anything in their household.
The actor was at his witty best at the launch of Shahrukhz by Danube, his branded residential project in Dubai Maritime City, on November 11.
A video from the event is now doing the rounds on social media, showing Shah Rukh joking about his family dynamics with Gauri and their children. The residential project also features penthouses designed by Gauri.
During the event, filmmaker Karan Johar, who hosted the evening, asked Shah Rukh if there was anything he was still not allowed to do in his own home.
“I am not allowed to do anything in my own house,” the actor replied, leaving the audience in splits.
He went on to joke that neither he nor his children could find fault with anything in their Gauri-designed home.
“In our house, we cannot say anything about Gauri’s home. We cannot complain about the WiFi, nor are we allowed to eat in bed. We cannot comment on the colours, paintings, stairs, lift, ceiling, or lighting. We simply sit quietly and enjoy the house, saying, ‘What a house you have built, Gauri.’ Now my problem is that when I visit the penthouse here, I will have to say the same thing—’What a penthouse you have built, Gauri!’ Outside the house, we are free; Aryan, Suhana, and I have a blast. Inside the house, we cannot do anything,” he added.
The light-hearted exchange continued when Karan jokingly asked Shah Rukh whether he was more afraid of business, the box office or his wife.
The actor, however, quipped that the filmmaker had forgotten his signature dialogue from his upcoming film ‘King’.
He then recreated the dialogue on stage: “Hazaar mulko me badnaam aur duniya ne diya ek hi naam. Aur wo pata hai kyun? Kyunki main darr nahi, dehshat hoon (Notorious across a thousand countries, yet the world gave only one name. And do you know why? Because I am not fear, I am terror).”
Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in Siddharth Anand’s action thriller ‘King’, which features an ensemble cast including his daughter Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Abhay Verma, among others.
The film marks the actor’s reunion with Siddharth after their blockbuster collaboration on ‘Pathaan’.
‘King’ is particularly special for Suhana, as it will mark her theatrical debut alongside her father.
She previously made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix film ‘The Archies’ in 2023.
