Shah Rukh plans to put on the apron, you see. Here's what he said about Eidi for his children. "There's a toy room inside the house. It has hundreds of toys. Every day is Eid for AbRam because every day I take out a new toy for him. Fortunately my daughter and son are here this year. We'll just sit together and chat. And I'll try to make food for them if time permits."
When asked if he has a special dish in mind, which he wants to prepare, he mentioned pasta as the only option. "I had made it once at home and my daughter said it was
theek thaak. So I'll try again."
After the press meet, Shah Rukh and AbRam also met fans, who had gathered outside Mannat, his Mumbai residence.
Here's how Shah Rukh and AbRam greeted fans on Monday
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh also thanked fans for making his day "special."
The superstar also requested the media and the paparazzi to maintain a decent distance
from his children. "They are not movie stars, they just happen to be a movie star's children. I think they are very respectful, they are very decent. When they come out with me, I make sure they stand and do a picture because I know it's meant to be important. So, I request two things to everybody - when you see them publically, it's not sure that they'll be able to handle media like I do. And secondly, just because they come out publically, doesn't mean they want to be actors," Shah Rukh told the press on Monday evening. Shah Rukh added that he wants his children to finish education first with the minimum qualification being a graduate degree, before moving on to a career in films.
Shah Rukh revealed that he's currently reading the
Mahabharata, the mention of which prompted another query - if he has a character in mind that he would like to play. However, Shah Rukh said that he's just done with the introduction and still getting accustomed to the characters.
The Central Board Of Film Certification
recently objected to the inclusion of the word 'intercourse' in of the mini trails of
Jab Harry Met Sejal, taking about which Shah Rukh said that the entire movie hasn't been reviewed by the CBFC yet. Once that happens and if cuts and edits are still recommended, they will be taken into consideration. "They will understand the context and hopefully everything will be good," said Shah Rukh. However, fans will be treated with the next mini trail of the movie in 2-4 days.
Of his cameo in
Tubelight, which he's watched one-and-half times already, he said: "Nobody can say 'No' to Salman Khan'."
