Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan lately
stepped out for a public appearance as her dad's date which had everybody
fawning over her. So did father Shah Rukh enjoy being Suhana's date?
When the actor was questioned about the same by a famous tabloid,
he disclosed, "Absolutely. But when my children come out with me for a
party, it does not mean they are doing it so that they can be in films. They
are simply going out with their father. Recently, Gauri had designed a
restaurant, so we all went there as a family. But, we knew pictures would be
clicked. So, Suhana came as my date (smiles). It was the first time that she
was nicely dressed up for a public event. And, they were her mother’s clothes.
So, it was very sweet. I find it very strange when people are like, 'yeh baahar
aayi hai kyunki actress banna chahti hai' (she has come out because she wants
to be an actor). They are still studying and are very young."
On whether he wishes that his three kids - Aryan, Suhana and
AbRam Khan be left alone by the media, Shah Rukh got practical and specified,
"I can’t ask for it as it’s a part of my job. And, I can never blame the
media for it. At the same time, I also know that –– especially in India ––
nobody is going to ever mistreat them as everyone loves me too much. The other
day, I knew which photographers had taken the pictures [of Suhana]. I could
have easily told them, ‘please be a little careful with the pictures’. And, I
know they would’ve done that. After all, I have known them for too long. They
respect the kids too. I think it’s alright, though, my kids may not understand
it. Also, they’re not as experienced [as me]. So, they might not be able to
handle it."
But, many actor-parents complain about their kids' invasion
of privacy. On this, Shah Rukh said, "Yes, sometimes, privacy is invaded.
As for my kids, at the end of the day, they are Shah Rukh Khan’s children. So,
they have to deal with it (smiles). Even when Suhana came out [of the
screening], she called me saying, ‘Papa, can you send me a car; my car is not coming’.
So, I sent Ravi (his bodyguard). I didn’t go running down [myself]. I think
things were alright; it’s not as if she was hassled or anything."
