As Shah Rukh Khan celebrates his 60th birthday on November 2, 2025, the legacy of the "King of Bollywood" is not only cemented in his own illustrious career but also being carried forward by his children, Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan. Both have embarked on journeys to carve their own niches in the entertainment and business worlds, embodying the values and ambition instilled by their parents, Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan.
Aryan Khan, the elder son, has chosen a path behind the camera, demonstrating his entrepreneurial skills and filmmaking talents. After graduating from the University of Southern California with a degree in film and television production, Aryan co-founded SLAB Ventures in 2022. Under this company, he launched D'YAVOL, a luxury lifestyle brand offering premium fashion and small-batch spirits. D'YAVOL Spirits has expanded to the United Kingdom with its Single Estate Vodka, which has won multiple international awards. Aryan has also partnered with Radico Khaitan and Nikhil Kamath to launch a Tequila Anejo. Furthermore, Aryan made his directorial debut with the web series "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," released on Netflix on September 18, 2025. The series, produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, features an ensemble cast and offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the Hindi film industry. In addition to his ventures in the entertainment and lifestyle industries, Aryan has also made strategic investments in real estate, purchasing property in Delhi. His net worth is estimated to be ₹80 crore in 2025.
Suhana Khan, on the other hand, has stepped into the limelight as an actress, following in her father's footsteps. After studying at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, Ardingly College in London, and NYU Tisch School of Arts, Suhana made her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar's "The Archies" in 2023. She played Veronica Lodge in the Netflix adaptation of the comic book series. In 2025, Suhana began working on the action thriller "King," directed by Siddharth Anand, where she stars alongside her father, Shah Rukh Khan. The film is expected to be released in 2026. Suhana is also recognized for her fashion sense and has collaborated with brands like Maybelline and Tira. Her estimated net worth in 2025 is between $3–4 million (₹25–30 crore).
Shah Rukh Khan has always emphasized the importance of his children pursuing their passions and making their own choices. He and his wife, Gauri Khan, have instilled in them a strong work ethic and values. While acknowledging the privilege his children have due to their background, Shah Rukh has also stressed the challenges they will face and the importance of humility.
As Aryan and Suhana continue to navigate their respective paths, they carry with them the legacy of their father, not just as a superstar, but as an entrepreneur, producer, and cultural icon. Their endeavors reflect a blend of ambition, creativity, and a desire to create their own identities, while upholding the values and principles they have inherited. As Shah Rukh Khan celebrates his birthday, he can undoubtedly take pride in the contributions his children are making, both to their own fields and to the continuing story of the Khan family's influence.
