Karan Johar shared that he considers Shah Rukh Khan’s family an extension of his own and spoke highly of Aryan and Suhana Khan’s strong commitment to their work.

Filmmaker Karan Johar has frequently expressed his strong admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, whom he sees as both an older brother and his dearest friend in the film industry. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Karan spoke about the deep, family-like connection he shares with SRK’s family.

He also praised Aryan and Suhana Khan for their dedication and expressed his hope that his own kids, Yash and Roohi, grow up with similar values.

Karan Johar shared that he sees both Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Aditya Chopra as mentors who have played a pivotal role in shaping his personal and professional journey.

He said he owes everything he is to them, and no matter where life takes him, he’ll always see himself as Aditya’s assistant and Shah Rukh’s younger brother.

Karan Johar says Aryan Khan is like his first born

Reflecting more on his relationship with Shah Rukh Khan and his family, Karan Johar shared, “Shah Rukh, Gauri, and their kids — Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam — truly feel like my own family. Aryan, in fact, feels like my first child in many ways.

I still remember holding him as a baby in a London park, singing to him — even though I can’t sing at all. Yet, we both remember that moment and the song. So now, watching him step into direction amazes me. Seeing Suhana prepare for her role in King leaves me in awe too.”

Karan went on to say, “When I look at Aryan and Suhana, I’m amazed by how much effort they’ve put into becoming the individuals they are today. They’re determined to build their own identities, stepping out of the enormous shadow of their father’s legendary status.

Their drive and ambition are truly inspiring, and it fills my heart with pride. I genuinely hope my kids, Yash and Roohi, grow up to be like them — not just in terms of success, but as people. Gauri and Shah Rukh have raised them to be such grounded, kind, and hardworking individuals — a rare mix of humility and ambition.”

He also praised Aryan and Suhana for being aware of their privilege while never misusing it. Despite having access to everything, he described them as humble and content, never demanding more than what’s given. Karan deeply admires the way they’ve forged their own paths and gave full credit to Gauri Khan for raising such well-rounded, sincere children.

Aryan Khan is gearing up for his directorial debut with the Netflix series Ba**ds of Bollywood*, while Suhana Khan stepped into acting last year with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies.
