Shah Rukh Khan shares his simple Ganesh Chaturthi ritual
In a tweet during Ask SRK, Shah Rukh wrote, "Wife does the Aarti and then the prayers and tonight will do the Visarjan. Kids and friends gather to hang around and laugh a lot. Very simple and family time."
When a fan asked, "Happy Ganapati Shah! We all are doing darshan of Lal Baug Cha Raja right now, but when will we get a new glimpse of Bollywood cha Raja in and as #King," Shah Rukh answered, " Happy Ganapati please pray for King for all of us. Thanks (sic)."
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's secular family
Shah Rukh and Gauri have built a secular family together. While he is a Muslim, she is a Hindu. Previously on the set of Dance Plus 5, Khan had said, “Humne koi Hindu-Musalman ki baat hi nahi ki. Meri biwi Hindu hai, mai Musalman hoon. Aur mere jo bacche hain, wo Hindustan hain Jab wo school gae to school me wo bharna padta hai ki religion kya hai. To jab meri beti choti thi, usne aa ke pucha bhi mujhse ek baar, ‘Papa hum kaun se religion ke hain?’ Maine usme ye likha ki hum Indian hi hain yaar, koi religion nahi hai. Aur hona bhi nahi chahiye."
In an episode of Koffee With Karan, Gauri had shared, "There is a balance. I respect Shah Rukh’s religion but that doesn’t mean that I would convert and become a Muslim. I don’t believe in that. I think everybody is an individual and follows their religion. But, obviously, there should be no disrespect. Like Shah Rukh would not disrespect my religion as well."
