With his 60th birthday just two days away, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan connected with fans through his trademark #AskSRK session on X, sharing rare personal reflections on his bond and professional dynamic with his children Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan. The actor, who is soon to be seen in his highly anticipated action thriller King, responded warmly when a fan asked how it felt to be directed by Aryan in his debut project The Ba**ds of Bollywood* and now act alongside Suhana.
“On sets, I respect them like my colleagues and appreciate their inputs and hard work. Off sets, I just wish and pray their hard work pays off,” Shah Rukh wrote, striking a perfect balance between parental pride and professional admiration. When another fan requested him to ask Aryan to begin work on Season 2 of The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, the actor humorously replied, “It is very difficult to tell your children what to do. But I am sure he will be working on it.”
Meanwhile, buzz around King, his upcoming collaboration with director Siddharth Anand, continues to soar. Leaked footage from the Poland shoot earlier this year created a frenzy online, capturing Shah Rukh in a striking salt-and-pepper look, complete with sleek tattoos and shades. His co-star Suhana Khan and actor Abhishek Bachchan are joining him in the film, which is reportedly packed with high-octane action and emotional depth.

According to reports, King is expected to release theatrically between October and December 2026 and might feature cameos from stars including Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Jackie Shroff, and Abhay Verma. When a fan on X asked about his next release, Shah Rukh playfully replied, “Just KING... naam toh suna hoga?”, perfectly blending humor and his signature charm.
Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki (2023), and his return to the big screen alongside his daughter and under his son’s creative vision has made his upcoming projects some of the most awaited in Bollywood. Fans now eagerly await both his milestone birthday celebration and official updates on King and Aryan’s next directorial venture.
