Shah Rukh Khan wants his daughter Suhana Khan to learn acting and not assume that she is talented
Suhana Khan's pictures and videos from the sets of her father Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film 'Zero' made several people speculate that she is all set to make her entry into Bollywood. However, Shah Rukh has now revealed that Suhana will not join the industry anytime soon and that she was there on the sets just to take some acting lessons from Shah Rukh's heroines - Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.
"She came on sets because learning acting has a lot to do with spending time on the sets and learning production. She did the same in London and while she was here."
"She said she still has two weeks to go back to London and we were shooting a song for 'Zero' in the coming two weeks. So she came here to have that experience," Shah Rukh said in a group interview.
The 'Raees' star further added that he wanted his daughter to experience how a film set functions and also observe how actresses work. "I wanted her to see Anushka and Katrina perform live as both are such different kind of actors. Katrina has her own charm and Anushka has her own way of enacting things. So I wanted her to spend time (on sets). So what they did is they put her onto me as an assistant director."
"But I think ground experience is good for actors or any kind of job, only as an internship. But you have to finish your education first. If you have the opportunity to study, it formalises and makes your craft better. So, I want her to study first for some time."
Suhana is pursuing studies at England's Ardingly College. Pictures of Suhana Khan from what appeared to be the sets of a shoot recently went viral on social media, when it was speculated that she was shooting for a short film as a college project.
Shah Rukh, who attended the National School Of Drama and was part of Delhi's Theatre Action Group before his foray in films, says Suhana will train for three-four years more before she finally steps into Bollwood. The actor wants his daughter to learn acting and not assume that she is talented. "In India, I think we don't learn acting, we just assume that we are talented. Like if you drive very first, it first mean you are going to become a Formula 1 driver. You'll have to finally learn it. So I want her to have a formal training in acting. The experience matters a lot," he added.
Earlier in an interview with Hindustan Times, when asked if Karan Johar will indeed launch his son Aryan Khan, SRK said, "It’s very sweet of them [his industry friends], and they have the right. If Aryan decides to be an actor, it will only be an honour for him to work with directors of that calibre. But I think he wants to be a filmmaker. Aryan is studying to be a filmmaker and a writer, while Suhana wants to be an actor. But even if he wants to be a filmmaker, he needs to study for another five to six years and not just the literal form of studying, but probably be an assistant to Karan after he finishes his film-making course. Aisa nahi hai ki tumhara baap actor hai toh set pe aake assistant director ban jaao. Similarly, Suhana should learn acting for another three to four years if she wants to be an actor. I know many of my industry friends feel my kids should start acting [in films] tomorrow. But it’s my belief that they shouldn’t start acting [in movies] yet."
