Aryan Khan on collaborating with his father Shah Rukh Khan: 'People talk about his work ethic but…'

Aryan Khan and his father and superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently collaborated for Aryan’s clothing brand D’yavol X. And while speaking to GQ, Aryan opened up about this collaboration and working with his father.

He said, “It’s always a pleasure and a learning experience. People talk about his work ethic, but experiencing it first-hand was really exciting. He has a wealth of knowledge, which makes my job easier.”

The starkid added, “Some things that would take me some time to wrap my head around were seamless for him. Our brand is edgy, so he’s around to keep some semblance of sanity and respectability, otherwise, there could be too much madness. Because we are an age-agnostic brand, I think we have an interesting balance: I have a more contemporary way of thinking; my father brings a dose of maturity into it.”

The King Khan of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan enjoyed a phenomenal 2023 at the box office with Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki emerging global winners. The megastar was named Indian of the Year by CNN News18 at the award ceremony.

In the event,  SRK   addressed the tough times he and his family faced and what he learnt from them while opening up about his son Aryan Khan’s arrest. “The last 4-5 years have been a bit of a ride for me and my family. I’m sure for some of you also because of Covid. Most of my films flopped. Analysts started writing my death knells,” said the actor.

He presumably spoke about Aryan Khan’s arrest and added, “On a personal level, a bit of bothersome and unpleasant things also happened to say the least, which made me learn a lesson. That be quiet, be very quiet and work hard with dignity. When you think everything is good, suddenly out of nowhere, life will come and hit you.” He continued, “But this is the time when you need to be the hopeful, honest storyteller.”
