Shahrukh Khan quotes on family

30. My sister Shehnaz is very naive and sweet. She is also very spoilt and pampered. I love her a lot. I've grown in her shadow, as she was the older child in the house. I'd look up to her.

She has also done her MBA in psychology - Shahrukh

But finally, I did find my feet here and today I have absolutely no regrets in life. - Gauri

40. He doesn't bring his work and work problems home. He tries to spend a lot of time with his family. For him, I always come first.

I've never read anything of that sort. - Gauri

41. A wife can help balance the scales of emotion but she cannot fill the void of a mother: fortunatly for Shahrukh, Gauri has been a part of his life for the last 15 to 16 years. 'She is a part of me. Or rather; I'm like her appendage. I don't want to demean or raise her by status by calling her my mother or comparing her. Gauri is a completely different person. At times, mcuh more than what my mother would have been. Gauri is much beyond. Like there's a little world around me and there's a galaxy. All that is encompassed by Gauri, including my mom and her star. Everything.' - Shahrukh

43. 'At times when she is out somewhere, I feel there's nothing without Gauri. No life, no house, no stardom, no child, no happiness, no company without Gauri. I cannot say she's my support of pillar or strenght either. Aryan wouldn't be around without Gauri. I can't explain the happiness I feel when they're around. It's wonderful and it's all because of Gauri.' - Shahrukh

48. The birth of his son, Aryan: I've lost my parents in hospitals -- so I don't like being in hospitals. And Gauri is quite fragile -- and I've never seen her fall really sick, or seen her unwell. When I saw her in the hospital, they had put in tubes and stuff. And she was becoming delirious and she was really cold. I went with her to the operation theatre for her Caesarean... And ( takes a deep breath ) I thought she'd die. Didn't even think about the kid at that point in time. It wasn't important to me. She was shivering so much and I know logically that you don't die while giving birth to babies... But still... ( Lost in thought )... I just got a little scared.

49. About son Aryan: We just named him Aryan. I don't know. I just liked the sound of the name. I thought when he tells a girl ki my name is Aryan. Aryan Khan, she'll be really impressed. His looks have come from both of us. Actually Gauri and I have similar features -- both of us have big eyes and thick lips. I don't know... He's got expressions like mine, I think... But he's a mixture. And no, I haven't changed any diapers! ( Laughs ) - Shah Rukh

50. Aryan has brought about a big change in our lives, especially in Shahrukh's lifestyle. Now, Shahrukh thinks twice if he has to go on an outdoor shoot. He wants to make most of his films in Mumbai. He has cut down on his work quite a bit. Double shifts are completely out. He is not signing too many films. And with the second baby due soon, the future for Shahrukh would be spending more time at home. He is crazy about children. - Gauri

51. 'I've collected a lot of balls for him and he loves playing with them. Aryan also loves dancing to my songs. We have pillow fights and love jumping on the bed. We quite demented when we are together.' - Shahrukh

52. Aryan is two-and-a-half today... He looks exactly like me but he acts and behaves just like Shahrukh. He is very bright and naughty. Shahrukh makes it a point to pick him up from his play school at least once a week. - Gauri

53. 'When you see father and son together, you can't tell who's younger. We play a lot together. We share Grasshopper together. We even share his little car. He rides it and so do i. Sometimes I push it, and at others he pushes it. Sometimes we play 'fighting-fighting' and we play with my Superman. He plays with it as much as I do.' - Shahrukh

54. 'He's a fabulous father', agreed Karan. 'You can see from the reaction of his child what a great father he is. It's the world on one side and his father on the other. His father means the world to Aryan.' - Karan Johar

55. 'Aryan wakes up by 7.30 or 8 in the morning. I spend a couple of hours with him and then rush to my shooting. If I'm at Mehboob Studio, close to home, I drive back for lunch. At night I get back by 9.30 or 10.00 and we play till 11.30. I play with him till he falls asleep and try to sleep with him.' - Shahrukh

56. He is completely obsessed with his father because for one, he sees less of him and secondly, Shahrukh is full of energy which I'm not. He can talk, dance and play with him endlessly. Aryan cannot sleep without him. Shahrukh has to spend two hours with him every night. - Gauri

57. 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.'

58. With a heap of ha-ha humour, he adds, 'My baby will be a pucca flirt. I think he even winked at the nurses at the Breach Candy hospital where he was born. I hope my child turns out to be a pucca badmaash. Just like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. But even if he turns out to be well-behaved, that's okay by me.

59. My son must be honest and respect elders. That's all that I expect of him. 'Frankly, I really hated myself when I saw Gauri going through all that labour pain. In the past 13 years that I've known her, she's never fallen ill on me even once. And now because of me she had to go through labour pain.

60. 'Though everyone says my son looks like me, I think he's an exact replica of Gauri. He took to me instantly, he even talks to me. I'll tell my son to grab all the opportunities he can, he shouldn't wait for them to come knocking. And when he grows up, I'll flirt with all his girlfriends. That's for sure.' - Shahrukh

61. Now that Aryan is 2, it's time he had a sister. 'Inshallah! I wish we have a daughter too. I'd love to have a girl, but it won't make a difference if we have another boy. At the time we were expecting Aryan, Gauri wanted a boy and I wanted a girl. We had a boy and I love Aryan more than Gauri does.' - Shahrukh (january 2000)

62. In her own quiet way, Suhana brought smiles and joy into our house even before she was born.

63. I stayed in my van for two days outside Breach Candy hospital to be near Gauri when she delivered our second child. I left Aryan at Juhi's house. In between I would get frantic telephone calls on my cell phone about how Aryan was scandalizing the servants and members of Juhi's family by stripping and running buck naked through the house shouting 'Look at me! I'm Tarzan!' It's his favourite ploy to get attention, which he needs in a constant and undivided manner. I think he's going to grow up to be an actor.

64. Suhana, unlike Aryan, was quiet from the time she was born. Like all children, Aryan was a little concerned about the new entrant into his family so we tried to avert the sibling rivalry by giving him chocolates and saying they were from Suhana.

65. Amongst the hundreds of telephone calls I received to congratulate Gauri and myself (and to give us advice on raising children!), I particularly remember one from Anil [Kapoor]. He said, 'Are you sitting on the side of God and whispering into His ears what you want? First you get success, and fame and then you get a perfect family too - a boy and a girl.' I thought it was very sweet.

66. Initially, I was scared to pick Suhana in my arms. She was so fragile, unlike Aryan. I could toss up Aryan and play rough with him but Suhana was different, she's a lady. Very quiet and loving, but I have a feeling she'll grow up to be very naughty.

67. One year has passed since she was born. She can barely stand now. And Aryan is learning how to get along with his little sister. We decided to have them share the same room so that they could bond. Gauri makes them eat together too. Of course it's very difficult to get Aryan/ Superman/ Batman/ Spiderman to sit in one place long enough to eat a meal but Suhana is so well behaved. She just smiles quietly at the world. She's very loving, even towards complete strangers.

68. But of course, Aryan, like all children, hates having to share the spotlight. He's very proud of the fact that Suhana is not allowed to play in the garden (because she's too small and delicate). And if you come home, he'll tell you proudly how Suhana keeps crying, unlike Aryan, who's a big strong man!

69. So one whole year has passed since she was born. She is growing more beautiful as each day passes. She has wonderful large eyes and an adorable, sweet smile. People say her hair is like mine. People say she's as beautiful as her mother. I think she's taken after an angel.

70. Initially, I was scared to pick Suhana in my arms. She was so fragile, unlike Aryan. I could toss up Aryan and play rough with him but Suhana was different, she's a lady. Very quiet and loving, but I have a feeling she'll grow up to be very naughty. - Shahrukh

71. Aryan wants to be like me, I am TThis role model, while my daughter wants to be like her mother. Aryan thinks he looks like me and dresses up like me too. We are good friends. In fact we are the best friends in the world. I am very attached to my son. We can chat for hours. - Shahrukh

72. 'His son thinks that his father is a superman, But you can't blame the kid. The moment he switches on the TV he sees his father, when he travels to school, he sees banners of his father's films along the roads, and whenever his fathers alights people go hysterically, 'Shah Rukh, Shah Rukh!'' - Shashilal Nair

73. 'I think he's the best father,' Farah interjected enthusiastically. 'He's really cool! He's not paranoid, and treats his son as a friend. And he has so much fun being a father. You go to Shah Rukh's house for a party and there's Shah Rukh on all four legs playing with Aryan, and you just let them be...He's mellowed, got quieter, but that happens... He has two children now. He has such a beautiful home and has done so well for himself.'' - Farah Khan

75. What did you feel when u first held the baby?

76. Gauri is going to be a mother soon. If it's a boy, I want him to be a badmash. He should do all the bad things by the time he is 16, so that he can sober down after that. If I have a daughter, I'll give her all the love that's stored within me. - Shahrukh

77. All parents bring up their children with certain values. And it's not surprising that Shahrukh's parents never laid down any rules. 'That's also why none were broken. My mom used to talk about hard work, honesy and heartfelt feelings. But one thing they taught me was, 'If you like doing something, go ahead and do it'. I never feel guilty about anything I do.

78. 'My part in bringing up Aryan, is similar. Gauri is very proud of me. I don't think she will mind if Aryan learns some of my values. She knows that I'm a little strange but there's also something which is right about me. That's why she married me. Of course, Gauri wouldn't want Aryan to be as mad as I am! From my side, he's okay!' - Shahrukh

79. Both the children, Aryan (12th November 1997) and Suhana (23rd May 2000) have been taught to revere the co-existence of Ganpati and Allah in the Khan household. How wonderfully they are being brought up manifests itself in the story that when Shah Rukh was having a critical neck surgery, Aryan went to the temple and said an Islamic prayer so that his father could get well soon.

80. 'Shah Rukh is very family bonded, he is very attached to his family and exceptionally so to his sister, his wife and children. He is very responsible vis-a-vis his family and to take on such responsibility at such a young age, I think it is phenomenal.' - Aziz Mirza

82. 'My daughter is more attached to her mother, while Aryan and I are very similar. Aryan does bully her but she is such a sweetheart.' - Shahrukh

83. When I see Aryan and Suhana, I see purity and spontaneity. Untouched by commerce, untainted by envy even as an actor, I grow simply by watching them. The truth is that I dont want to be this famous but absentee father. I want my children to flower under my care. - Shahrukh

84. The children look like Gauri, but Thank God they have my brains! - Shahrukh

85. My daughter used to think I was Aamir Khan. She could not recognise me on screen. So much so that every time I came on screen she used to call out, `Aamir Khan',' - Shahrukh (with a big grin)

86. Though my wife thinks I'm mad, I know I'll drop my daughter to the parties she's invited to. I'll want her friends to say, 'Wow what a handsome father you have!' When she's with her boyfriend in the backseat of our car, I'll be at the wheel, driving her around. - Shahrukh

87. My health is priority -because of my children. So the priority actually would be the kids. I need to make sure that in the next one year I get back to a healthy state of affairs so that I can last with them a little longer.Everything else comes second. - Shahrukh
