He also told Giona that he admires Jackie Chan. "If I have to count my favourite actors of all time – Michael J. Fox, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro – Jackie Chan will be right up there.”

“I love him. He is physically amazing. He enacts things very well, and he continues to inspire me.”

He added, "If he (Jackie Chan) ever sees this interview, he promised to open a Chinese restaurant in partnership, and he hasn’t done so.”

In the conversation with Giona A. Nazzaro, expressed that he enjoys spending time with his children, like any other father in a family.

He said, "We have a very normal family life. I want people to know this because outside stardom, it’s larger than life, thousands of people look at you, you wave at the crowds.”

“There is a lot of madness, it’s like a rockstar and my dashing, gorgeous looks...It can seem very alien and different, but it is not."

“Beyond my drop-dead gorgeous looks (grins) and stardom, we are a normal family. I know it looks alien and different from the outside. But I want my kids (Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, AbRam) to be humble about their privileges.”

“The wife (Gauri Khan) keeps the balance with her wisdom. At the core of it is simplicity. I’m just someone who found a way to spread happiness, so they support me,” he added.
