SRK: Professional on Set, Proud at Home

During a recent #AskSRK session on X, a fan asked, “How does it feel being directed by Aryan in some scenes and now acting alongside Suhana in your upcoming film? Must be a proud dad moment!” (sic)

SRK replied, “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.”

The exchange captures his mix of professional respect and private pride.

Notably, SRK made a cameo in Aryan’s Netflix debut, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood, which premiered on September 18 and garnered attention for its gritty take on the industry and Aryan’s fresh storytelling.

On-set Humility: Aryan Calls His Father ‘Sir’

Recently, choreographer Mudassar Khan shared a memorable on-set moment on the Hindi Rush podcast.

He said, “Our process was like I had made a reference video for how the song would be, and then me and Aryan had showed it to Shah Rukh sir in his vanity van. That moment was of great learning for me. Because he was sitting in his vanity, and me and Aryan went inside, and Aryan was waiting all the while as Shah Rukh sir was talking to somebody on phone. So he waited until he turned his head towards us. And eventually when he did look at us, Aryan addressed him as ‘sir’ and said, ‘Sir, we have made something for the song, would you like to see it?’ And he immediately said yes yes, and then we showed him what we had done.”

Further, he added, “After he watched he said very good and then before he left he kept his hand on my head. And we had also made another pre-visualisation asset so that it could help us on set to shoot effectively and without any delays. So as he was leaving I immediately asked Aryan that should we also show him the other video. And then Aryan asked him by saying ‘Sir, if you have time, can we show you one more video?’ And I was stunned to see him say that because if I was in his place I would have been like ‘Daddy, see what I have done.'”
