In a recent interview, Zoya Akhtar revealed if Shah Rukh Khan ever gave 'a pep talk' to his daughter, Suhana and 'The Archies' cast any pep talk during the shoot.
Shah Rukh Khan and his wife, Gauri Khan's daughter, Suhana Khan stepped into Bollywood with Zoya Akhtar's movie, The Archies. The movie received both the negative and positive responses from the audience. There's no denying the fact that Suhana made both of her parents proud of her achievements, and they never shied away from rooting for their princess. And now, Zoya revealed whether SRK came to the set and gave Suhana, along with the newcomers, a pep talk.
Zoya Akhtar recently sat for an interview with Mid Day. She was asked if she ever called SRK and asked him to give a pep talk to the newcomers. To this, Zoya said she never did the same and mentioned that she had earlier worked with several other newcomers like Siddhant Chaturvedi. She also added that she is meant to give the newcomers a pep talk, and she will never hand over her job to anybody else. Zoya said:
"No, I wouldn’t. I mean, no, because I’ve worked with newcomers. I’ve worked with Siddhant Chaturvedi, I’ve worked with various newcomers. You don’t call in someone and say, ‘Give them a pep talk.’ You just don’t do that. No, that’s my job. I can’t give my job to someone else. That’s what I’m meant to do."

"I think you also see it with him. I think he’s quite rooted, his old friends, you know, the people that gave him a break, the people that stood by him, he stands by. I think, you know, it’s just that guy, so it just came with him."
Shah Rukh is hands down father to his kids, Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan and AbRam Khan.
