Shah Rukh Khan Talks Family Life at WAVES 2025
Shah Rukh explained that he often gets asked if he feels lonely at the top of his career, but he said that he has never felt lonely. His secret? Making his children laugh. According to Shah Rukh, if you can make your children or even your parents laugh, you will never feel lonely. He recalled moments when he tried to discipline his kids, like telling them to sleep by 10 o’clock, but instead of obeying, they would tease him, saying, “Oh my god, SRK.” This made him feel like a joke in his own home.
In his signature style, Shah Rukh charmed the audience with his candidness and humor. His remarks about family life resonated with many, as he emphasized the importance of humor and bonding in relationships. He said that while the world might view him as a serious celebrity, at home, he is simply the funny dad trying to make his children laugh.
This session was part of a larger event that featured some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, including Deepika Padukone, Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth, and Akshay Kumar. The WAVES summit, which runs from May 1-4, 2025, aims to celebrate the achievements of India’s media and entertainment industry and foster new discussions about the future of cinema and entertainment in the country.
