Rajat Bedi has posted a birthday message for Aryan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan's son, who turned 29 on November 12.
Sharing a photo of the two on Instagram, Bedi wished him plenty of happiness and continued success. Bedi played Jaraj Saxena in Aryan's directorial debut, a Netflix series. He told SCREEN that Aryan's school friends finished next-day work overnight on iPhones, and that Jaraj is the director's favourite character.
Bedi's next release is Bandhu, a Marathi film with Upendra Limaye and Jitendra Joshi, due in cinemas on November 20.
Anushka Sharma has recalled a family story from the period before her acting career took off, told in an older interview with Simi Garewal. Her mother had used a Feng Shui turtle to make a wish for her daughter.
Anushka was working as a model and hoping for films when she was chosen for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan. She cried so hard after hearing the news on her drive back from Yash Raj Studios that she could not keep driving. Calling her mother, she learned about the wish, a note hoping her daughter would star in a Yash Raj film, which had been placed inside the turtle.
Shah Rukh Khan says Ed Sheeran's fast-paced lyrics in Tu Mil Jaaye, from his upcoming film King, were tough for him to keep up with. He made the remark in a comment on a clip his daughter Suhana posted while getting ready for Manish Malhotra's Diwali party.
In the video she sings along to Ed's part, and Shah Rukh wrote that he struggled to remember the words but was impressed that she knew them so well. Fans cheered the father-daughter moment in the comments.
King, directed by Siddharth Anand, is scheduled for theatrical release on December 24, 2026.
Farah Khan has recalled that Shah Rukh Khan never second-guessed her casting choices for Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om. Speaking on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's Double Date, she said he did not object to Sushmita Sen joining Main Hoon Na when she was not yet a major name, and that when Farah wanted a newcomer for Om Shanti Om, he told her to go ahead after she showed him a photo. She contrasted this with today's actors, who she feels often want a say in choreography, music, direction and casting, a habit she links to a lack of self-belief.
Shah Rukh Khan says he wants to work with Jawan director Atlee again. Replying to Atlee's birthday message, the actor said he misses their time on set and hopes they can create something together soon. Atlee responded with affection but did not confirm a project, as he is busy with Raaka, starring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone. Jawan, released in 2023, earned over Rs 1,100 crore worldwide and won Shah Rukh his first National Film Award for Best Actor. Shah Rukh's next release, King, directed by Siddharth Anand, reaches cinemas on December 24, 2026.
