Shah Rukh Khan Drops RARE Comment On Daughter Suhana Khan's New Photo
Last Updated: Shah Rukh Khan cheers for daughter Suhana Khan's ad shoot with Adidas. Shah Rukh Khan may not be the most active celebrity online, but when it comes to his kids, he always shows up. The superstar recently left fans smiling as he reacted to his daughter Suhana Khan's latest collaboration with Adidas India. Suhana and Adidas shared a set of stylish new photos on Instagram this Saturday, showing her striking athletic poses in trendy athleisure wear. The joint post instantly grabbed attention — not just for the visuals, but for the special comment it received. 'Looking so good!!" Shah Rukh Khan wrote under the post. His daughter quickly responded with equal affection, saying, 'Love youu ❤️." Suhana made her acting debut in December 2023 with The Archies, a Netflix original directed by Zoya Akhtar. The coming-of-age film also featured Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, Dot, Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Menda. Next, Suhana will star alongside her father in the much-anticipated film King. The project, which originally had Sujoy Ghosh attached as director, is now being helmed by Siddharth Anand. The cast reportedly includes an ensemble of big names like Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma. Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan attended the Next On Netflix showcase to support his son Aryan Khan, who's stepping into direction with his debut series The BA**DS of Bollywood. While on stage, the actor shared a heartfelt request with fans and the audience. He said, 'Guzaarish aur bahut dil se main chaahunga ki mere bete jo apna pehla kadam rakh rahe hai direction mein, mere beti jo actress ban rahi hai, un sabko bhi 50 percent pyaar bhi agar ye duniya dede jitna mujhe diya hai toh bahut zyada hoga (A heartfelt request from me — if this world can give even 50 percent of the love to my son, who is taking his first step into direction, and my daughter, who is becoming an actress, as much as it has given me, that would mean a lot)."
