Now, in an old video, that is going viral again on Instagram, SRK can be seen taking his fans inside his Mumbai home Mannat’s prayer area. In the clip, Shah Rukh Khan can be heard saying, “Children should know about value of God, whether it’s a Hindu god or a Muslim god. So, next to Ganesh and Laxmi, we have the Quran also. We put our hands together and say the Gayatri Mantra, which my son says, and I say ‘bismillah’ with him.”

“It makes me feel very emotional, where I’m teaching my children something that I also don’t know very well. I’m not a great follower of religion. I believe in Allah very strongly.”

On the professional front, SRK is currently enjoying his second blockbuster of the year ‘Jawan’. He will be next seen in Dunki which is slated to release by the end of 2023.
