Shah Rukh Khan: Actors’ kids have to learn to be actors

Given that children often follow in their parents’ footsteps when it comes to choosing a career, it’s no wonder that star kids, too, are expected to do the same. So considering that Shah Rukh Khan’s children have a following of their own, it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that the superstar’s son Aryan and daughter Suhana will be soon gearing up for their respective Bollywood debuts.

Quiz the Zero actor about it and he replies, “Aryan doesn’t want to act, he wants to make films. He’s writing, directing and learning stuff for four years. It’s one of the highest levels of studies at the University of Southern California to become a filmmaker. My daughter wants to act. She also has to attend a four-year course in theatre. I think both of them should study.”

When pointed out that Suhana made a lovely debut on a magazine cover last year, SRK maintained, “But she still has to work for four-five years. Everybody has to do that. I was telling someone if a doctor’s child cannot become a doctor without learning how to be one, how do you expect an actor’s child to do that? They have to learn to be actors. Aryan and Suhana are studying in institutions that will teach them acting, which will help them to hone their craft. Post that, if they have the desire and the madness to be involved with films, as a writer, director, filmmaker, actor, then they should choose to be a part of it.”
