Mumbai: During a grand meet-and-greet event with fans here on his 60th birthday, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan revealed one career advice he had given to his kids Suhana Khan and Aryan Khan who are also a part of the industry now.
“I don’t tell them much because I think there is not much need to tell anything to creative people. I have been working in films for 35 years, so I know I come with a big baggage. ‘Arre yaar, papa ki to sunni padegi kyunki woh Shah Rukh Khan hain’. I don’t want them to have that baggage,” the superstar shared.
“With Suhana in acting and Aryan in writing and direction, they do it themselves. And when they need, they ask me how something is looking. And I tell them a point of view. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes bad. But I tell them, ‘Tum wohi karo jo tumhe karna hai’,” Shah Rukh said.
Revealing that his son Aryan was hesitant before his directorial debut, Shah Rukh said: “He was not sure if he could direct or not, and whether they should hire some other director. But I feel that those who write and then direct themselves become better directors in a sense. So, I told him to follow his heart and direct it. Dekhenge kya hoga, kitna bura kar lega.”
