Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan

SRK reveals his take on Suhana's dreams of becoming a heroine...

Shah Rukh Khan has ruled the roost for over two decades now. He's a doting dad to an 18 year old son, a 16 year old daughter Suhana and a 3 year old tiny tot. 

It's been over a year that people are speculating the debut of SRK's son Aryan Khan but that's not happening anytime soon. In an interview with Femina, SRK revealed that Aryan has taken up a four year course in filmmaking and he's now concentrating on that. 

SRK has always said in all his interviews that daughter Suhana Khan has the desire to become an actress. During the interview with the glossy, when SRK was quizzed about his take on it, he said, "I have a strong take. I’d like her to be on the cover of magazines like all my heroines are, wear any kind of clothes she wants to wear, and look sexy and beautiful. I want her to feel attractive, beautiful and respected, and more importantly, I want her to work hard. There are days when I feel down—the only reason I get up and go to work is when I think of her. I have only one mandate where she’s concerned: she can act, but she has to study first."

But he quickly added that Suhana doesn't want to learn from him. And she has a strong reason for it as well. "Suhana is more theatre-oriented and has been doing plays in college. The best part is that she doesn’t want to learn (acting) from me. She wants to be an actor in her own right. She can be an actor if she has the passion and guts to work five times harder than me and get paid 10 times less than I do, if times don’t change for women actors. I want her to experience what my female co-stars have gone through. My daughter will be an actor like them and I want to feel the pain," he said.
