‘Baadshah’ Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra One director calls him ‘middle class’ and the reason will melt your heart

Shah Rukh Khan’s fame transcends national boundaries, as the Romance King has dominated the film industry for many years. Although people are well aware of his wealth, only those close to him understand that he possesses a distinctly middle-class spirit. Most recently, Ra One director Anubhav Sinha explained why Shah Rukh Khan values the happiness of his family more than any brand, which is an incredibly down-to-earth sentiment!

Shah Rukh Khan may appear to dominate global stages with an air of authority, but he’s also a devoted father who enjoys cooking for his children and listening to their school stories. In an interview with Faye D’Souza, Ra One director Anubhav Sinha shared that SRK maintains a strong connection to his middle-class roots.

The filmmaker confidently expressed his viewpoint, claiming he’s so deeply rooted in middle-class life it’s almost comical. When Sinha shared this with SRK, the actor known as Pathaan chuckled quirkily in agreement. As for the director of IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, he stated that Khan is wealthy beyond measure, but such wealth doesn’t bring him genuine happiness.

Anubhav said, “Is it the Gucci or your sister’s happiness that brings more joy to you?” He also mentioned that the celebrity, who falls in the ‘middle class’, derives greater pleasure from seeing his sister Shahnaz and his children, Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, and AbRam Khan, smile.

According to the director of Thappad, it’s quite remarkable how the actor from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai conducts himself within his family. The director finds it challenging for someone as universally popular as him; not only about the wealth, but also to maintain such a strong connection with reality. Throughout the production of Ra One, the director often expressed that working on the film was more than just making a movie, it was an honor to personally know Shah Rukh.

On the professional side of Shah Rukh Khan, he’ll appear next in director Siddharth Anand’s action-thriller titled King. This film is significant as it will introduce his daughter Suhana Khan to the big screen alongside established actors like Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, and others.
