But first things first. SRK's just turned father to a bonny baby, Aryaan. That he's excited is only stating the obvious. His brown eyes glisten happily. He says, 'I hope Aryaan will grow up to look like my father. He was such a handsome man.' And will he be as good a parent to his son? 'I'll be a better parent to my son than my parents were to me. They died too soon, they left me alone. But I'll always be there for my son.'
