The actor added, “I always wanted to become a mother so I am enjoying every bit of that. But, I am now navigating this new life for me post motherhood. Being responsible for another person and that person comes before you. I don’t think I’ve found the answers to that yet.”

Shah Rukh Khan chimed in, expressing that his Om Shanti Om co-star will be a “wonderful” mother. “The role she is going to play the best is that of a mother with Dua. I think she is really going to be a wonderful mom,” he said.

Karan Johar then turned the conversation to SRK’s parenting, calling him the “parent of the decade” and admitting that Shah Rukh gives him a complex by being such an involved and present father. The Dilwale actor smiled and said, “It’s a line by a writer, I read it somewhere when I was growing up, maybe I lost my parents so it had some effect. It read, ‘The decision to have a child is the decision to allow and take a piece of your heart to walk outside your body.’ Mere dil ke tukde, I actually have 3 – Bada heart, medium heart and a small heart. Chotte chotte pieces mere chaaron taraf hain.”

He continued, “You will never be lonely if you can make your children laugh. Those who don’t have children, if you can make your parents laugh, you’ll never be lonely. I am so funny for my children that even if I say something to them, like ‘You have to sleep by 10 pm, mom has said this,’ they jokingly reply, ‘Oh My God, SRK.’ They do all this. I am a joke in the house. More than the joke, I make my children and wife happy.”
