It seems to be quite star-struck with the glitz and glamour of the life of the superstars of the Hindi film industry. Their lifestyle exudes a charm and magnificence that never fails to fascinate millions of fans around the world. However, in this world of easy access to their private life and family, the actors sometimes face tremendous interference with their privacy and unwanted attention towards themselves that sometimes affects their families too to a large extent. Several people from the industry of glitz and glamour have been victims of this unwanted interference that have disrupted their life seriously. One of the greatest superstars of the Hindi film industry as well as one of the highest-paid and highly regarded actors of the world, the ‘King Khan of Bollywood’, Shah Rukh Khan has also not been able to keep him and his family out of this trouble. In one particular incident, in an interview, he said that there have been several moments in his life, where he deeply regretted unintentionally bringing unwanted attention to his beloved family.

The Perfect Family Man

Shah Rukh Khan has always been trying to live up to the character of a family man even though he has to remain busy with his acting and other activities related to film promotion throughout the year. However, he always wanted to be a loving and caring husband and father to his wife Gauri Chibber Khan and his three children, Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan and Abram Khan. As he has always pointed out that the foundation for his family was built out of love, trust and support for each other, so, there is no chance for him and his family to get affected by any external disturbance that is set to stir up his private life. However, still, the public figure that he is, certain instances do create a mess sometimes that deeply disturbs him and shakes him and the members of his family to a great extent from the inside. Then, claims the ‘Pathaan’ actor, he finds it very difficult to come out of the troubled cobweb and keep his family protected and away from being influenced by these external attacks and interference.

The Unscrupulous Interference

Living up to the character of a perfect family guy, Shah Rukh Khan highly values the privacy of his family. However, certain incidents do rile him up from the inside, when he feels troubled and curled up inside and blames himself for being the source of such unwanted poking from the outside. A few years ago, when Shah Rukh Khan got into a verbal brawl with the security guards of the famous Wankhede stadium over an issue related to their entry, in a drunken state, the pictures started doing the rounds on several social media accounts and his wife and sons were also targeted at the same time. Netizens started commenting rubbish on their personal social media accounts and if the Khan family would be spotted travelling together anywhere, nasty comments would start flowing in from every direction, even being hurled at his wife and children too. Not only his fans or the general public, who would somehow discover a way into his private life, the media too constantly seeks to get away inside to capture himself in his private moments just to create a big and bashing story out of those. The very recent incident of his eldest Aryan Khan going to jail on being unjustly and falsely accused and framed in a case of possession of drugs brought all eyes upon him. Even, when he was going somewhere to meet their lawyer or meet his son at the jail, despite heavy security arrangements and his several requests not to click him, he was being photographed and questioned without any regard for the situation he was in. The media also surrounded his wife, Gauri Chibber Khan, when she was spotted travelling to her fashion house to attend some meetings and work.

Feeling Sorry for His Family

Shah Rukh Khan feels sorry for the unwanted trouble that his family has been going through owing to the unwanted attention that he catches due to the heavy stardom that he is enjoying. In the interview with Femina, he opened up about how his family has to take in the daily attention that he faces from the general public and the media and how his privacy gets shaken up due to this constant undesired and external intrusion. He was candid about how his family has to bear the brunt of his activities and any normal outing such as dining out or enjoying himself in a public park with his family seems to be impossible for him. He candidly told the interviewer that what seems o be quite normal for a common man seems to be uncommon for him although deep inside his heart he is the Shah Rukh Khan from the neighbourhood of Rajinder Nagar in New Delhi. Every activity carried out by their family seems to be under the scrutiny of the public eye and they leave no stone unturned to make fun of them. He told the interviewer that every time any such thing takes place, he blames himself and his popularity as he feels that it is that, that is bringing so many problems that are disrupting his privacy.

The journey of Shah Rukh Khan from an ordinary boy in the neighbourhood of Rajinder Nagar in New Delhi to the glamorous and star-studded world of Bollywood has never been smooth sailing. There have been many storms that he has bravely encountered but at the end of the day, he too is a human being, who loves to keep his family before everything. The constant unwanted intrusion, mostly negative, into his private moments serves as a valuable lesson for other people that spend most of their time in front of the eyes of the public. It reminds us to revalue the fine line that has been drawn between fame and family and to protect the sanctity of our relationships. His abilities to transform every challenging situation in his favor are something to be learnt from and it serves as an inspiration to us.
