At WAVES 2025, Shah Rukh Khan charmed audiences with heartfelt humor as he spoke about the joys of fatherhood and being the 'joke' of his household.
Shah Rukh Khan, India's most beloved superstar and a global cultural icon, set the tone for day one of the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES) 2025 with a refreshingly candid conversation about fame, family, and the often misunderstood experience of being 'at the top." Sharing the stage with his Om Shanti Om co-star Deepika Padukone, SRK spoke during a session titled The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler, moderated by Karan Johar, at Mumbai's Jio World Convention Centre.
What was expected to be a formal discussion on cinematic excellence quickly turned into an intimate, humorous, and heartfelt exchange, with Shah Rukh revealing some deeply personal—and deeply funny—truths about his life away from the spotlight.
King Khan once said it's lonely at the top but he today mentions that : It can never be lonely at the top if you can make your children laugh, and for those who don't have children please make your parents happy. #KINGKhanAtWaves pic.twitter.com/hWv40gyCKs — Shah Rukh Khan Universe Fan Club (@SRKUniverse) May 1, 2025
Addressing the oft-repeated phrase that it's 'lonely at the top," Shah Rukh disagreed entirely, attributing his emotional grounding to his family, especially his children. 'You're often asked if it's lonely at the top. But let me tell you this—if you can make your children laugh, or your parents laugh if you don't have kids, you will never be lonely," he said, drawing a thunderous round of applause from the audience.
He went on to describe the irreverent yet affectionate dynamic he shares with his children—Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam—and how they routinely turn his attempts at discipline into comedy. 'Main itna funny hoon mere bacchon ke liye (I'm so funny to my kids), that even when I try to scold them, they just laugh. I'll say something serious like, 'You have to be in bed by 10,' and they'll go, 'OMG, S R K!' I'm literally a joke in my own house."
As Deepika burst into laughter beside him, Shah Rukh recounted a time on the sets of Om Shanti Om when he had even tried to 'scold" her. 'I scolded Deepika too, back then! But no one takes me seriously," he added, grinning.
The session highlighted a softer, more introspective side of Shah Rukh Khan—one that audiences rarely get to see behind his magnetic on-screen persona. He spoke not just as a superstar, but as a father, a husband, and a man who has learned to laugh at himself, even at the height of global stardom.
The four-day WAVES Summit, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is envisioned as a global platform to elevate India's presence in the digital, film, and creative economy. The event has brought together over 10,000 delegates, including 1,000 creators, from more than 90 countries, and boasts a guest list that reads like the who's who of Indian cinema: Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Mohanlal, Hema Malini, Aamir Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, and many more.
