Shah Rukh Khan is known to be a family man. The superstar has a loving wife Gauri Khan and three children Aryan, Suhana and AbRam. Moreover, SRK also has a sister named Shehnaz Lalarukh Khan, who has always been away from the limelight.

SRK lost his parents at a very young age and this left a disturbing impact on his sister. We came across a throwback video, where Shah Rukh spoke at length about his sister and how much he loves her like his other family members.

He started off by sharing an incident when his sister fell sick. SRK stated, "She didn't cry, she didn't say anything, she just fell and hit her head on the ground. And two years after that, she didn't cry, she didn't speak, she just kept looking in space. It just changed her world, now she's better but she has got some deficiencies."

The superstar also revealed that during the shoot of his film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, his sister was undergoing treatment in Switzerland. He said, "During the making of my film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, she again was hospitalised and they said she will not survive. I took her to Switzerland, got her treated there while I was shooting Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam song. But she hasn't ever recovered from the loss of her father and it got compounded because my mother also got expired 10 years later. "

Shah Rukh also said, "She was highly qualified, she was M.A LLB, very intelligent like my parents wanted her to be. But she couldn't face the reality of losing her parents. And I somehow developed the sense of detachment, the sense of false bravado which I show in public, a sense of humour and a lot of things which people think is flamboyant and Bollywood-like, to cover up the sadness affecting my life and me becoming like my sister."

He added, "I love my sister for how she is. She is a much better person than I can ever be. I think she is the child of God, very naive and innocent. My kids love them more than they love me and my wife. But I don't have the guts to be so simple, so hurt and so disturbed."

This is emotional, indeed!
