Once in an interview, Shah Rukh Khan had opened up about his parents' 'legendary' food habits in his childhood and revealed how he bakes pasta and Batman cookies for his kids.
Born to late Taj Mohammed Khan and his wife, Lateef Fatima Khan, Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most exceptional actors Bollywood has ever had. Despite coming from a middle-class family, SRK dreamt of making it big in the film industry and turned his dream into reality. His journey from being a commoner to becoming the biggest star in Bollywood is an inspiration to millions, and it's the reason behind his humbleness.
Once in a throwback interview with Parent Circle in 2018, Shah Rukh Khan talked about his childhood days and revealed how his mother fed him with her own hands till the age of 25. Reflecting on the same, the actor mentioned that he still looks ridiculous while eating with his hands. He said:
“When I was a kid, I always wanted to grow up, and now that I am old, I really miss my childhood. I think it’s the best time of our lives when we are so carefree. I remember my mom used to feed me with her own hands for the longest time — until I was about 25. So, I am still ill at ease eating with my own hands. I look ridiculous!”

He recalled how his parents would mix traditional food and feed him and added:
“I have grown up on Mughlai and Deccani food. See, my father was a Pathan, and their love for food is legendary. My father loved not just eating, but also cooking. So my Pathan father's raan would make a perfect combo with my Hyderabadi mother's mutton biryani and the khatti dal. My parents used to mix these and feed me."

"I don’t do that with my kids, they would disown me! But yes, I have baked for them or rustled up a pasta. I have baked Batman cookies with Aaryan when he was a little boy. I can boil eggs, make tea. And I make very good phulkas. I can make rather decent pasta also.”
