In an interview with the DNA, Shah Rukh had talked about his relationship with his kids. He had shared how he is as a father and had stated, "I’m a really cool father. When I am with Aryan sometimes, we just lay down in our shorts without our shirts and we crack some dirty jokes. He gets really excited telling me about gaalis he’s learnt. I’m from Delhi and I’ve also been that age and my vocabulary of Hindi gaalis is fantastic (smiles). So, when he tells me one, I tell him that I’ll teach him another version of it. So that’s cool.”
Shah Rukh had also revealed how he and Aryan would discuss cinema, would also make fun of certain family members. Talking about the same, he had shared, “We talk a little about filmmaking because he’s learning that. But he would like to recede from that because he wants to learn it on his own. We watch films and while watching them, we talk about certain aspects of filmmaking. We talk about getting into trouble, picking up fights, how to beat up the other guy or answer back when a guy mess with you. He talks about his ambitions, and where he would like to be one day. But he’s very clear that way. He just wants to be bigger than me and that’s cool. Then, we make fun of family members — he does this, she does this. We also go shopping, buy some boy T-shirts. He’s more colourful than I am, which is nice. He’s not grey, blue and black like me." (Also Read: Unseen Picture Of Dharmendra And His First Wife, Prakash Kaur Attending A Wedding Function Together)
