Family, Parents, Sister

He was a huge part of the Rajendra Gaffer Khan movement. Mir Taj Mohammed was also a successful businessman who owned a restaurant. He also had a furniture, and transportation business. Sadly, he died in 1981 after a long battle with cancer, leaving his son, 15-year-old SRK behind.

His mother, Lateef Fatima was also the eldest of four sisters and was very fluent in the four south Indian languages. Shah Rukh Khan says he remembers his mother was the disciplinarian of the house, always making sure he and his sister were in check while showing them the best care there was.

SRK’s mother’s greatest concern was for her kids to excel in academics and in life. She supported her son’s acting ambition and encouraged him to attend an acting school which he did at the National School of Drama, Delhi.

After the death of his father, his mother look after the restaurant business and made it a huge success. She died in 1991 from a prolonged illness relating to complications from diabetes.

After the death of her mother, she suffered from depression and suddenly became very quiet. She currently lives with SRK and his family in their mansion in Mumbai.

Married Life, Wife, Son

Shan Rukh Khan got married to his wife Gauri Chibber, a Punjabi Hindu after six years of courtship. Her parents, especially her father, who is an army officer, did not initially approve of their relationship but finally accepted them.

Aside from her husband’s fame, Gauri has successfully built a career for herself. She is an interior designer and co-founder of Red Chillies Entertainment. There seem to be no problems in terms of religion in the family despite the fact that he is a devoted Muslim and his wife is a Hindu. Their children are raised to respect both religions and perhaps make a choice of which to follow when they can.
