Exclusive: Ananya Panday talks about getting inspired from Shah Rukh Khan

In a recent chat during the show, In The Ring with Filmfare, Ananya Panday shared her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, highlighting the valuable lessons she’s learned from him. According to Ananya, Shah Rukh Khan’s approach to balancing work and family life has been particularly inspiring. She credits his presence and involvement in his children’s lives as a big influence on her own perspective.

Speaking about the superstar, Ananya shared how his presence in the lives of his children, especially Suhana Khan, left a lasting impression on her. “Actually, everything he does say is like advice and is something that you can take into your life,” she said. Ananya highlighted that it wasn’t just about what Shah Rukh told them, but more about how he lived his life with dedication and balance in both his work and his family.

She recalled how present and involved he was while Suhana and the other kids were growing up. Whether it was helping with homework or being around despite his packed schedule, his actions spoke volumes. “If being Shah Rukh Khan also he can sit and help his kids with their math homework and their assignments and stuff, anyone can do it,” she shared.

For Ananya, seeing this balance helped shape her own way of looking at it. It strengthened the belief that no matter how demanding one’s career is, being available and grounded for your loved ones is always possible. 

What stood out most to her wasn’t grand advice or big gestures, but the simple consistency of showing up whenever required. “More than what he said to me, just seeing him and the way he is with his family, that’s something I want to be able to do,” she said.

Through this statement from Ananya, we could get a fair idea about Shah Rukh Khan’s off-screen persona which is less about being a superstar and more about being a good human.
