At the WAVES Summit 2025 in Mumbai, Shah Rukh Khan, renowned for his wit and charm, playfully roasted filmmaker Karan Johar during an engaging session on parenting and the nuances of attending school events with their children.

The Fun-filled Chat: SRK’s Humor Takes the Spotlight

Shah Rukh Khan’s comedic timing was on full display during the session titled “The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler”, where he was joined by his close friends and industry colleagues, Karan Johar and Deepika Padukone. The trio took the stage to discuss life, cinema, and their experiences in the entertainment world, with SRK stealing the show with his humor.

The audience was treated to a humorous story by Karan Johar, who shared a light-hearted anecdote about his son and Shah Rukh’s youngest, AbRam. He recalled how his son once approached him with a complaint: “Shah Rukh uncle trains AbRam before Sports Day, why aren’t you training me?” Karan laughed as he confessed, “Can you imagine me training my son on how to run for Sports Day? It’s actually quite scary.”

SRK’s Playful Roast: “First, You Get Trained By Us!”

In his typical playful fashion, Shah Rukh Khan didn’t miss the opportunity to roast his good friend Karan. With a sly grin, SRK responded, “Karan, because Deepika is such a wonderful athlete, and it’s in her genes. First, you come and get trained by us. After that, you can train your kids. Pehle tu sikh le, 100-meter race mein kaise bhagte hain (First, you learn how to run a 100-meter race).”

The witty jab from SRK was met with laughter from the crowd, and Karan Johar, always a good sport, smiled and responded, “I don’t know when this turned into a roast, but anyway. Whatever you said, I accept it with respect.” The playful banter between the two friends added a lighthearted atmosphere to the event.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Views on Fatherhood

Shah Rukh Khan also shared his thoughts on fatherhood during the session. Known for his wisdom, SRK offered this piece of advice: “You can never be lonely if you can make your children laugh. If you don’t have kids, make your parents laugh instead.” His reflections on parenting and life resonated deeply with the audience.

Khan’s sincere and humorous approach to fatherhood was a highlight of the event. He has always been open about his love for his children and his dedication to being an involved father. This rare glimpse into his personal life only strengthened the bond with his fans.
