Shah Rukh Khan is a true family man, and he proved it again.
Shah Rukh Khan was honoured with the Global Icon of Cinema and Cultural Narrative Award at Sharjah's International Book Fair. The Pathaan star was awarded for his contributions as the International Icon of Cinema and Culture. During the event, he was asked a couple of questions about his family and career.
The interviewer asked how would his parents react to his achievements. SRK instantly replied, "I think my mother would say first, ‘Tum bahut patle hogaye ho, thoda sa weight put on kar lo. Kaisa tumhara mooh ho gaya hai... andar-andar, tumhara kalle andar chale gaye hain...so eat a little more.” The audience laughed on his response.

Khan continued and added that his father would have been proud of his parenting skills. "I think my father and my mother both would be very proud of I think my one achievement… if I can call it an achievement, I think it is something we have to do and something we live by… I think they will be proud of the way we have been able to bring up my three children. I think they will be very happy,” SRK stated. Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are proud parents to Aryan, Suhana and AbRam.
