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.

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)."

We all know Shah Rukh Khan is a charmer who knows how to make an everlasting impression with his mere presence. However, did you know that Netflix's CEO, Ted Sarandos, was captivated by his charisma and humility? In a recent interview, Ted opened up about his equation with SRK and talked about the fun time he had with him. Ted Sarandos on his bond with Shah Rukh Khan In his recent interaction with Nikhil Kamath, Ted was asked to name his favorite Indian celebrity, and he named Shah Rukh Khan. For the unversed, in 2018, Shah Rukh Khan was one of the first celebrities Ted met as soon as he came to India ahead of the release of the OTT platform's first Indian series, 'Sacred Games.' 'Early in coming to India, I met Shah Rukh Khan right away. He hosted a very nice dinner for me, and we hit it off immediately. I've come back since, with my wife, and we've had nice times together. We visited each other in Los Angeles when his son was in school. So, having dinner with Shah Rukh Khan in India is much different than having dinner with him in Los Angeles,' Ted shared.
