They are often called the first family of Bollywood and they are finally in a single frame! Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri recently posed in what is to be the 'first-ever family photo' with their kids Aryan, 19, Suhana, 16, and Abram, 3.
Although they are often spotted separately, the Khan family has rarely been photographed together, barring a few moments at the airport. But now it seems that King Khan has decided to give his fans a Christmas treat with a photograph that is now breaking the Internet.
The entire family is seen in identical whites and denims and are seen posing with their signature smiles.
Khan who is said to be extremely close to his kids shot for this ad campaign and needless to say his comfort level is quite evident. The entire family seems happy and relaxed together.
"My kids are my closest allies"
In an interview a few years ago, he had mentioned, “I don’t have many friends. My kids are my closest allies, best friends. And I can share all my deep, dark secrets, my happiest or saddest moments with them. You know, my dad used to call me Yaara, that’s what a Pathan calls his pal. My parents were my friends. The rapport that they shared with me is what I share with my kids. I’m just the kind of dad that my father was to me.”
As as for all the pampering, Khan feels that it is deliberate at times, especially when he is unable to make enough time for his kids.
“This makes me want to pamper my kids. I want to give them anything and everything possible in this world to make up for the time I cannot give them,” he says.

SRK and Gauri's relationship

"Gauri and my relationship have been geared entirely towards raising our children. That’s what eventually happens. Parents become parents at one point and that changes it all. We have a badass 18-year-old, a dainty 16-year-old and then there’s the three-year-old little gangster. Our conversations, our life together is through the prism of our children. They’ve been our focal point and have literally kept our world intact," he recently mentioned.
But Gauri sometimes feel that SRK can go overboard with his pampering ways!
I want the kids to never give up: Gauri
She feels that while Suhana and Aryan are pampered, it is the little one who is the most pampered. "I think he is pampered much more [than Aryan and Suhana]. He is more on sets with Shah Rukh too. My other kids didn't do that. I am now wondering, why?" she said.
But in all this, her only wish is to see her kid succeed. While speaking to the media Gauri said, "I hope the kids are focussed and hardworking no matter what they choose to do in life. I want them to be passionate about their dreams, not give up until they make them happen, and achieve every goal they set out to conquer."
Well, as parents it is quite evident that Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri are doing everything in their capacity to help their kids for a fir base for their future. So whether it is sending their kids to notable schools or imbibing values, they are on their toes, just as any regular parent.

An unspoken rule of parenting is to teach your child to become a successful adult. But that doesn't mean that you won't have to work towards helping your child achieve his life goals. Here are a few ways you can help your kids succeed.
- Lead by example: If you want your kids to complete their education, then you must lead by example. Get your degrees, whether it's fro school or college and show your kids that dedication and hardwork can help them achieve anything in life.
- Aim for the sky: Always set high goals for yourself, if you want your kids to reach up top. When they see you working towards achieving your goals, they will try to emulate that in your life.
- Work on challenges: When you are stuck in a challenge try to show your kids your strength and perseverance by not taking 'no' for an answer. Teach them that they also must inculcate the habit of overcoming challenges.
- Reality check: Make sure to give your kids a reality check every now and then so they are not constantly living in their own lala land. It's important for them to know how to resolve real issues and have productive discussions with people.
