My kids don't keep a tab on my career: Shah Rukh Khan

October 15, 2014

Mumbai, Oct 15: Having a globally recognised father may not be very easy for kids to deal with but Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan says his stardom has never had a negative impact on his children.

Shah Rukh KhanThe 48-year-old actor, who has three children -- Aryan, Suhana and AbRam-- said in the beginning they were conscious of having a star father but their upbringing has been such that they don't care about his fame so much.

"We have never subjected our kids to the stardom. When they were born I was already a movie star. What has been clearly told or understood by them is that I work very hard.

"Initially, yes when I used to go to school they felt awkward because everybody was referred to as Ramesh's father or Geeta's father - but I was called Shah Rukh Khan. My daughter used to be a little taken aback. But no they are not embarrassed of me," Shah Rukh said.

The actor said that he neither forces his children to watch his films nor do they have any idea about how much money his movies make after its release.

"My son Aryan never comes for my shows or shootings. My children have been brought up in such a way that whatever I do outside of our house is not something they have to necessarily keep a tab on.

"They don't know the collection. Maybe after a few days my daughter will ask me if the film did well. It is not necessary for them to watch the film just because I star in it. My daughter watched my last film 'Chennai Express' a week an a half after its release and that too because her friends wanted to watch it at home. My son hasn't seen it yet," he said.

Shah Rukh, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming Diwali release 'Happy New Year', was recently in London, where his 16-year-old son currently studies, for a promotional tour for the film.

The actor said Aryan's teachers had come to see the concert. "When I was doing a show in London, all of Aryan's teachers came to see me. I had invited them and Aryan as well."

Shah Rukh, who is seen sporting an eight-pack abs for the Farah Khan-directed film, said his son loves to keep fit.

"Aryan came to the gym and I actually I worked out the way he does as I like the way his body is. He also plays rugby and loves to be fit," he said.

'Happy New Year', which also star Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah, releases on October 24.

Mumbai, Jan 7: Actor Anil Kapoor, who next will be seen onscreen in Malang, revealed that he always tells superstar Aamir Khan not to stop working with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.

Kapoor was interacting with the media at the trailer launch of Malang along with his co-actors Adtiya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Elli AvRam, film's director Mohit Suri and producers Luv Ranjan, Bhushan Kumar, Ankur Garg and Jay Shewakraman on Monday in Mumbai.

Anil Kapoor has worked with many directors and producers in his 40-year acting career.

Talking about camp culture in the Hindi film industry and praising makers of Malang, Kapoor said, "I feel we need producers like Ankur (Garg) and Luv (Ranjan). I have told Mohit (Suri) to continue doing films with them. I always tell Aamir Khan by calling him on the phone to say that you should not leave Raju Hirani (Rajkumar Hirani). Whenever I see films of both of them, I tell Aamir not to leave him."

He continued, "I feel whenever you make a good team then you should hold on to it. Team is very important and there are certain stars that come together to make something interesting and exciting."

Kapoor gave an example of Hollywood actors and filmmakers while backing his viewpoint.

"If you see Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio they do so many films together. They can work with others, too, but they keep working with each other. There is some magic, obviously. You have to go with the casting but somewhere I feel teams should stand by each other," the actor added.

Malang stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Anil Kapoor and Kunal Khemu in lead roles. It is scheduled to release on February 7.
