This old video from inside Shahrukh’s house Mannat is viral on social media. The documentary gives a glimpse into Shahrukh Khan’s home, where he/she and his/her family gather for a traditional puja.

Shahrukh Khan proudly tells the Pandit that Aryan knows Gayatri Mantra very well and he/she recites it. In his/her prayer place, this puja house of the actor not only has statues of Hindu Gods and Goddesses but he/she has also kept the Quran. This clearly shows how they have been moving forward taking both religions together and following different traditions.

Shahrukh is seen saying in this video, ‘Children should know about the importance of God, whether it is Hindu Gods or Allah. So apart from the idols of Ganesha and Lakshmi, we also have the Quran. We join our hands and say the Gayatri Mantra, which my son says, and I say Bismillah with him/her. It makes me very emotional, where I am teaching my children something that I don’t even know very well. I am not a big follower of religion. I have great faith in Allah, but my parents never forced me to pray five times a day.’

According to both Hindu and Muslim customs, Shahrukh is seen praying with his/her family. he/she said, ‘For me, having Diwali and Eid at home is very special. We also celebrate Christmas, we plant trees. Children really enjoy it the most.

They named their son Aryan and daughter Suhana and said that these names are common across India and different religions. he/she said that his/her last name Khan is such that he/she cannot remove it.

he/she had said, ‘We do not focus on being Hindu or Muslim. My wife is Hindu, I am Muslim and my children are Indian. This is true. Sometimes, when they go to school, they have to fill the religion section. One day my daughter asked me – Papa, which religion do we belong to? So I wrote that we are Indians, we have no religion and we should not have any religion.
