Shah Rukh Khan has often insisted that religion is not imposed inside his house and that his family respects and celebrates all festivals. The Bollywood superstar recently captured attention on social media with an old video, wherein he can be seen teaching his children, Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan, about their traditional rituals. First, the Pathaan actor demonstrates the Islamic way of prayer by saying 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem' and later he is seen sitting with a priest and performing Hindu puja with little Aryan and Suhana by his side, embracing all the traditions.
The audio has Shah Rukh Khan saying, "As long as we will keep on thinking methods of religious prayers are different, we will always be different. I find no difference in thinking of God." Take a look:
Earlier, during his visit to the sets of Dance Plus 5, Shah Rukh said, "Humne koi Hindu-Musalman ki baat hi nahi ki. Meri biwi Hindu hai, mai Musalman hoon. Aur mere jo bacche hain, wo Hindustan hain. Jab wo school gae to school me wo bharna padta hai ki religion kya hai. To jab meri beti choti thi, usne aa ke pucha bhi mujhse ek baar, ‘papa hum kaun se religion ke hain?’ Maine usme ye likha ki hum Indian hi hain yaar, koi religion nahi hai. Aur hona bhi nahi chahiye. (We have never discussed Hindu-Muslim. My wife is Hindu, I am a Muslim and our kids are Hindustan. When they went to school, they had to write their religion. My daughter came to me once and asked ‘what is our religion?’ I simply wrote in her form that we are Indian, we do not have a religion.)"
