When asked about the inspiration behind the name Aryan, Shah Rukh Khan explained that it simply came to him one day. While at the studio, he recalled that he liked the name ‘Aryan,’ and that was it. Gauri Khan also chimed in, recalling how Shah Rukh had printed the name, showed it to the family, and insisted that everyone liked it.

Shah Rukh further explained the thought behind the name, stating that in Islamic traditions, the name could be pronounced as "Aryaan," in India as "Aryan," and internationally, it could be pronounced as "Aeryan."

Reflecting on how Aryan had changed their lives, Shah Rukh shared that from childhood, he had always loved toys, and even in his 30s, he still had a fondness for them. To him, Aryan was like a "walking talking doll," with amazing expressions, and he wasn’t concerned with the fact that Shah Rukh was his father. The actor playfully added that whenever he tried to tell Aryan that he was Shah Rukh and that everyone wanted to meet him, Aryan would simply look away. Shah Rukh fondly described his son as sweet, quiet, and rarely one to cry.

On the professional front, Aryan is gearing up to make his directorial debut with a series titled Stardom. Shah Rukh recently announced the project, though without revealing its title, and he expressed his warmest wishes for his son's new venture.
