Shah Rukh Khan attended the 'Next On Netflix' event on Monday to unveil his son Aryan Khan’s debut directorial project, The BA**DS of Bollywood*.
During the event, the Bollywood icon humorously shared how he passed down his sense of humor and talent for creating funny content to Aryan. "Maine kaha jaa beta, baap ka naam roshan kar" (I told him, go make your father proud), Shah Rukh said with a smile.
The Jawan actor revealed that he had already watched a few episodes of the series and praised the content, calling it extremely funny.
"I just want to thank all the colleagues I have who participated in the series. They have done so well. I watched a few episodes of the series. It's extremely funny. I love funny things. Mere jokes pe log bura maan jaate hah, takleef ho jaati hah. Maine jokes karna chod diya. Maine ye virasat apne bete ko de diya. Maine kaha jaa beta, baap ka naam raushan kar" (People often take offense to my jokes so I have stopped joking. I have passed this 'Virasat' to my son Aryan and told him 'go make your father proud'), Shah Rukh explained.
As he unveiled the project, SRK expressed his happiness over the large press gathering and also wished his children the best as they ventured into the entertainment industry. He said, "It is my prayer that even if they get 50 per cent of the love that I have received, then it will be a lot from them."
For the event, Shah Rukh Khan looked dashing in an all-black outfit consisting of a black shirt and pants, paired with sunglasses. He looked every bit the superstar as he greeted his fans and the press. The official Instagram account of Spice Social shared stunning visuals of Shah Rukh Khan at the event.
Shah Rukh Khan was joined by his wife Gauri Khan, daughter Suhana Khan, and son Aryan Khan at the event.
The official synopsis for The BA***DS of Bollywood describes the series as follows: "An ambitious outsider and his friends navigate the larger-than-life yet uncertain world of Bollywood. The series blends self-aware humour with a high-stakes narrative -- and promises a host of unforgettable cameos, blockbuster thrills and an adventurous ride into the world of Indian cinema."
