My kids don’t keep a tab on my career

Having a globally recognised father may not be very easy for kids to deal with but Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan says his stardom has never had a negative impact on his children.

The 48-year-old actor, who has three children -- Aryan, Suhana and AbRam-- said in the beginning they were conscious of having a star father but their upbringing has been such that they don't care about his fame so much.

"We have never subjected our kids to the stardom. When they were born I was already a movie star. What has been clearly told or understood by them is that I work very hard.

"Initially, yes when I used to go to school they felt awkward because everybody was referred to as Ramesh's father or Geeta's father - but I was called Shah Rukh Khan. My daughter used to be a little taken aback. But no they are not embarrassed of me," Shah Rukh said.

The actor said that he neither forces his children to watch his films nor do they have any idea about how much money his movies make after its release.

"My son Aryan never comes for my shows or shootings. My children have been brought up in such a way that whatever I do outside of our house is not something they have to necessarily keep a tab on,” he said.
