It is a known fact that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is a doting dad, who loves spending time with his kids. At a recent event, the superstar revealed that he is planning to quit smoking and drinking, and adopt a healthier lifestyle to be able to spend more time with his children.
When asked if being an old parent, his youngest son is four, he feared not getting enough time to spend with AbRam, the actor relented, "Yes, that's an issue, that thought comes in my head, it came last night. One way to look at it is to keep yourself healthy. The presence of a little child at the age of 50, it is a good thing. It makes me come alive, it makes me see innocence and love in a different way"
The 'Raees' star added that he wants to be able to spend the next 20-25 years of his life with his kids and has been maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the same.
"Having said that, will I be there to do the same thing that I did with my older kids? Yes, that is a worry. So that keeps you smoking less, drinking less, exercising more. I am planning to give up all (smoking, drinking, etc) and try to be healthier and happier," SRK said.
Shah Rukh whose parents passed away when he 15 years old said that he holds it against them. "I don't want my children to hold that against me that I was not there," he added.
King Khan who is known for his wit joked saying that he wants to embarrass his kids and be around hounding them for a long time. "I want to be there to give them advice completely out of context and irrelevant. I want to find out about their personal lives when they are hating me for doing so. I want to be cumbersome and troublesome to my children. So I should work towards it and get healthy," he said.
"I am working with younger girls just to keep up with my children. I am not doing it out of any mid-life crisis. I am only doing it to make myself feel younger and get in touch with the younger me," the actor concluded.
