Shah Rukh Khan is known to be a doting father and he has time and again shared posts on social media which reflect the amount of difficulty he goes through every time he has to part with his children. Aryan, 19, is currently pursuing his course in filmmaking at the University of South California, while Suhana, 14, is studying Mumbai's day-boarding Dhirubhai Ambani International School.

Earlier this month, the Raees actor shared a photograph on social media featuring him with daughter Suhana. The caption of the image read, "When the little one goes back to school and is not around to tell you, you use too many filters!"
