Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, who recently celebrated his 60th birthday, is winning hearts with his adorable interaction with daughter Suhana Khan on social media. The exchange followed Suhana's birthday tribute to her father, confirming her role as "King's Princess" in their upcoming film, King.
Suhana posted a behind-the-scenes image on Instagram featuring two coffee mugs, one labeled "King" and the other "King's Princess". The heartwarming post served as confirmation that Suhana will be playing Shah Rukh Khan's daughter in the highly anticipated action film.
Shah Rukh Khan, known for his wit and charm, responded to Suhana's post with an affectionate message: "Love you, sweetheart… but maybe less black coffee for now. You're still my little girl". This sweet remark resonated with fans, who were charmed by the father-daughter bond. The actor's concern over Suhana's black coffee consumption highlights a father's protective nature, seeing his daughter as his "little girl" regardless of her age or achievements.
King, directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, marks Suhana Khan's entry into Bollywood. While she made her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar's The Archies on Netflix, King will be her first major big-screen role. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal, and Abhay Verma.
The first teaser of King was released on Shah Rukh Khan's birthday, offering a glimpse of the actor in a never-before-seen role as an assassin. Sources suggest the film will feature two villains across different timelines.
Shah Rukh Khan's playful suggestion about reducing black coffee also sparked interest, given his own well-documented fondness for the beverage. In a 2011 interview, he confessed to drinking approximately 30 cups of black coffee a day.
The interaction between Shah Rukh and Suhana underscores their close relationship and has generated considerable excitement for King. Fans are eagerly anticipating seeing the father-daughter duo share screen space for the first time. The film is slated for release in 2026.
