Viral video: Shah Rukh Khan gives 'perfect' parenting tips to Karan Johar, filmmaker wants to train his son for Sports Day, actor says 'tu pehle khud..'

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone graced a session at WAVES Summit 2025, with filmmaker Karan Johar, and the attendees were in awe when King Khan took the centre stage. Karan hosted the session titled Outsider Who Becomes Ruler. During the conversation, SRK shared parenting tips with the attendees, stating the importance of having a child in the life. The Pathaan actor stated that if you have kids, you'll never feel lonely. SRK's mantra for tackling loneliness is, "You can never be lonely if you can make your children laugh. If you don't have kids, then make your parents laugh and you will never be lonely." Khan also revealed that he never scolds his kids, and even if he wants to instruct them on something, he calls it instructions from their mom (his wife, Gauri Khan). 

Then Karan revealed that Khan trained AbRam for his Sports Day, and his son, Yash, expects him to train him. Karan's revelation left the audience laughing, including Shah Rukh and Deepika. Karan requested Khan to help him in this situation, and he replied, "Pehle tu sikh le. 100 m race mein kaise bhagte hai." Khan brought the house down after he imitated Karan's walk.

In another video, Shah Rukh Khan proved why he's King of Romance. Before the session, Shah Rukh was offered a water bottle, and he took this as an opportunity to showcase his charm. Khan took the bottle and recited his poem from Jab Tak Hai Jaan, proving that he can also romance with a bottle.
