Shah Rukh Khan refused to pull up Abhishek Bachchan, Vivan Shah despite Farah Khan’s complaint: ‘Inke baap Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah inhe nahi sikha paaye toh…’ | Bollywood News

Shah Rukh Khan shared the screen space with Abhishek Bachchan and Vivaan Shah, son of Amitabh Bachchan and Naseeruddin Shah, respectively, in Farah Khan’s film Happy New Year. Farah, known to be a taskmaster, apparently had a tough time with Abhishek and Vivaan on the sets, and even complained to the film’s lead and producer, Shah Rukh. An old video from Shah Rukh, Farah, Abhishek and Vivaan’s visit to the hit quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati has SRK sharing about the incident and what refrained him from pulling up the two actors post Farah’s complaint.
In 2014, during the Happy New Year’s promotions, the cast visited the Kaun Banega Crorepati set. An old video shared online has Shah Rukh Khan reminiscing about an incident when filmmaker Farah Khan requested him to reprimand Abhishek Bachchan and Vivaan Shah.

SRK told Amitabh Bachchan, “Farah kabhi complain nhi karti as Farah khudh hin bht tandarust hai. Sab ko tik kar leti hai set ke upar (Farah never complains. Farah herself is very healthy. She takes care of everything on her own on the set).”

“Ek baar isne (Farah) mujhe bahut complain kiya. Isne kaha ki Abhishek aur Vivaan jo hai dono ke dono bahut pareshan kar rahe hain, dracted rehte hain, baat cheet kar rahe hain, tang kar rahe hain. Baar baar meri photo leke Twitter pe daal rahe hain. Bahut tang karte hain Abhishek aur Vivaan isko, toh tum jaake unse baat karo. (Once she complained to me that Abhishek and Vivaan are troubling her, they are dracted, keep chatting, take her pictures and upload them on Twitter. They irritate me a lot so you go and talk to them),” added SRK
SRK added, “Maine kaha nahi Farah bacche hai yaar, aese thode hi na hota hai yaar, ho jayega (It’s ok they are children). ‘No, today I’m very angry. You go and talk’. Toh Sir, main bada aese kamar kas k pahuch gaya. Main bolne ko shuru hua phir mujhe dimaag m aya ki Abhishek Bachchan ke jo daddy hai woh Mr Amitabh Bachchan hai. Phir aya ki Vivaan ke jo daddy hai woh Mr Naseeruddin Shah hai. Phir mere dimaag me aya ki agar inke baap inko nahi sikha sake toh main kya sikhaunga (I said Farah they are just kids, it’s not like that, it will be fine. But she said, ‘No, today I’m very angry. You go and talk to them.’ So sir, I went there with determination… I started to speak, and then it hit me that Abhishek Bachchan’s father is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. Then I realized that Vivaan’s father is Mr Naseeruddin Shah. And then it struck me that if their fathers couldn’t teach them, what could I teach them)?”
