Shah Rukh Khan Reveals Why He Kept His Youngest Son Name Abram: ‘I Thought That Since…’

Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most popular actors in Bollywood. He has been ruling the hearts for decades. Well, the actor is blessed with three children. In an old interview, Shah Rukh Khan revealed the reason behind the name of his youngest son, Abram. During an interaction with fans, the Pathan actor revealed why he chose the unique name.

During his appearance on Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat, Khan was asked by a fan why he named his youngest son AbRam and what the name meant. He responded, “First of all, Hazrat Ibrahim in Islam is known as Abraham in the Bible, and in Judaism, it’s Abram. I thought that since my wife (Gauri Khan) is Hindu and I am Muslim, we wanted our kids to feel a sense of secularism at home. Many people didn’t like it, and it became a controversy, but I believe that in our home, we have the same secularism as our country.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy with the shoot of King. which will reportedly also star his daughter Suhana Khan and Munjya star Abhay Verma. At the Locarno Film Festival, Shah Rukh Khan also opened up about King for the first time and said, “It is an action drama, it’s a Hindi film. It’ll be interesting. I’ve been wanting to do a film like that for some time, and I really wanted to do a film like this for seven, eight years. We just felt Sujoy would be the right choice, because we wanted it to be very emotionally correct. We are all coming together to make a cool, massy, action, emotional film.”

King Khan further mentioned that despite his absence in Hollywood, his ultimate dream isn’t about personal fame on a global stage — it’s about something much larger. “My dream is to get that one Indian film to be seen with the kind of audience that a big Hollywood film is seen, whether I’m part of it as an actor, as a light man, as a producer, as a writer, as a presenter,” Khan revealed.

He also added, “The next film I’m doing, King, I have to start working on my film King. Have to lose some weight a little, stretch a little so my groin doesn’t get caught while doing action. It is painful. It’s the worst thing to see me on sets after action because I look really cool in the film but I’m all tied up and suddenly you see people and send flying kisses.”

Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Dunki with Taapsee Pannu.
