Shah Rukh Khan's Devoted Fatherhood Unveiled by Former Security Chief
Shah Rukh Khan's close bond with his children—Suhana Khan, Aryan Khan, and AbRam Khan—is evident whenever they step out in public. Now, his former security chief, Yaseen Khan, has provided a rare glimpse into the superstar's deeply involved role as a father, describing him as one of the most hands-on parents he has ever encountered.
A Decade of Close Observation
Yaseen Khan managed security for Shah Rukh Khan and his family from 2001 to 2011, a period that allowed him to witness the actor's parenting up close. Even after stepping away from his role due to personal reasons, Yaseen continues to interact with the family through his own security agency, which now serves numerous high-profile celebrities and cricketers.
Memories with Aryan and Suhana
Having known Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan since their school days, Yaseen even trained Aryan in karate and observed his early passion for sports. He fondly recalled a specific memory: "Aryan trained in gymnastics for some time. He does really nice somersaults. A few years ago, when I met him, after catching up, he told me, 'You used to say I can't do this somersault, right?' He showed me that somersault right then! He's a lot into sports, just like his father."
Yaseen praised Aryan's upbringing, noting that he embodies his father's grounded nature and discipline. "Aryan is a very nice kid. Right from the start, he used to treat the elders with respect. Shah Rukh sir has always taught him that," he added.
Shah Rukh's Active Parenting Role
Discussing Shah Rukh Khan's approach to parenting, Yaseen emphasized that he has rarely seen a celebrity so actively engaged in his children's lives. "He'd always attend their sports programmes. He'd drop them to school whenever he was in town, irrespective of how exhausted he was. The best thing about him was that even when he was shooting in the US, he'd study on his own and then teach his children online for their exams," Yaseen revealed.
Prioritizing Family Time
Despite his demanding schedule, Shah Rukh Khan made family a top priority. Yaseen shared that the actor would take a two-month break annually to spend quality time with his loved ones in London. During these vacations, he and his children often played football at Hyde Park with Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, and Sanjay Kapoor, along with their families. "In my 10 years, I'd never seen him tell Gauri bhabhi, 'I'm tired, I won't come.' He's always ready for family," Yaseen said, referring to Gauri Khan.
A Warm Farewell and Lasting Impact
When Yaseen decided to leave his role in 2011, Shah Rukh Khan reportedly bid him farewell warmly, assuring him that he would always be welcome back. Reflecting on his journey, Yaseen shared how the experience transformed his life. "My life was whatever Shah Rukh sir's life was. I used to travel around the globe in private planes, stay in five-star hotels, and had eight passports completely stamped. When I joined Shah Rukh sir, I saw a plane for the first time," he said.
Yaseen's Current Endeavors
Today, Yaseen runs a leading security agency that has managed arrangements for several high-profile events, including the weddings of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, and Akash Ambani and Shloka Ambani.
