Ananya Panday and Suhana Khan are forever besties. The childhood friends have an unmatched bond and credit to their family members. The two beautiful divas have grown up together and have had countless memories. The duo grew up from going on fun playdates at Shah Rukh Khan's home to Ananya and Suhana supporting one another in each other's filmy dreams. However, Ananya has a divine connection with King Khan, whom she fondly calls by different names.
Ananya Panday, during an interview with Mid-Day, revealed the different names she calls Shah Rukh Khan. When she is with her friends, the Pathaan actor is addressed as Shah Rukh Khan by Ananya. When she is in a professional setting, Ananya calls Shah Rukh Khan 'Shah Rukh Khan sir' or 'Shah Rukh Khan uncle'. Ananya added:

"He likes being in our gang, and with us, he is always going to be SRK."
Ananya Panday grew up seeing the very calm and composed side of Shah Rukh Khan. The 'King of Romance' has an aura that connects with anyone he meets and loves treating everyone like a family member. Ananya, who played a terrific role in Call Me Bae , had also addressed Shah Rukh Khan with the title of 'best father'. She remembered:
"We didn't even realize until he went and stood outside Mannat and we saw those thousands of people come. He is one of the best fathers. It was always like someone was like a father figure who taught us how to run on our sports He was a very involved and present parent with us. He is one of the best fathers.
Later in the same interview, Ananya Panday revealed that her bestie Suhana had told her an interesting thing about SRK. He shoots for 12-16 hours, but he will always come home and spend time with his children, getting involved in their college admissions, their homework, and everything else. Even if Ananya faces any problem, she can talk to her 'SRK uncle', as he is non-judgmental.

In the same interview, the actress also said that her work has always spoken for itself. She knows about people from filmy backgrounds who could not make a mark in the movie industry. As she rightly added:
"People have to still like you on screen and watch you because there have been many cases where people have come from film families and they have not been successful because they have not resonated with the audience. Then there have been people from the outside who have done extremely well. We should all support each other and give love to each other."
Ananya's biggest pillar of strength is Shah Rukh Khan. How do you like it when the actress calls him 'SRK uncle'?
