Shah Rukh said, “Guzaarish aur bahut dil se main chaahunga ki mere bete jo apna pehla kadam rakh rahe hai direction mein, mere beti jo actress ban rahi hai, un sabko bhi 50 percent pyaar bhi agar ye duniya dede jitna mujhe diya hai toh bahut zyada hoga.”
(Translation: I request from my heart that my son, who is taking his first step into direction, and my daughter, who is becoming an actress, if they receive even 50 percent of the love the world has given me, it would be enough.)
Shah Rukh Khan Talks About Aryan Khan’s Series
Shah Rukh also shared his thoughts on the show, revealing that he had already watched a few episodes and found them extremely funny.
“I just want to thank all the colleagues I have who participated in the series. They have done so well. I watched a few episodes of the series. It’s extremely funny. I love funny things. Mere jokes pe log bura maan jaate hain, takleef ho jaati hai. Maine jokes karna chod diya. Maine ye virasat apne bete ko de diya. Maine kaha jaa beta, baap ka naam roshan kar.”
(Translation: People often take offense to my jokes, so I have stopped joking. I have passed this to my son Aryan and told him ‘Go make your father proud.’)
