Shah Rukh Khan has won millions of hearts throughout the course of his acting career, which spans decades. However, for many people who desire to pursue a career as an actor, SRK has been a great inspiration. Aside from his work life, he is a devoted husband and father who adores his children.

Suhana Khan, SRK's daughter, is best friends with Ananya Panday, daughter of Chunky Panday. Their bond dates back to the time when they were all toddlers. Ananya Panday recently remembered all of those days in an interview, praising Shah Rukh Khan's impact on their lives.

The Liger actress talked about her childhood days with her best friends, Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor. Ananya recalled Shah Rukh Khan training her and Suhana for sports days and Taekwondo classes back in the day.

The 23-year-old actress, who said that she admires SRK's on-screen performance as well as his off-screen demeanour, also stated that he influenced her personality immensely. She said, "He made a huge contribution in shaping me into the person I am today. He always ensured that we were raised well and were treated just like other kids."

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ananya Panday will be next seen in the pan-Indian film Liger opposite Vijay Deverakonda and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav.
