Mir Taj Mohammed Khan was a tall Pathan from Peshawar, now in Pakistan. Shah Rukh calls him a ‘gentle giant’. He was an Indian freedom fighter, who became a part of ‘Frontier Gandhi’ Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan’s movement and had even fought the elections against another national icon, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad and lost. He was the youngest freedom fighter then and as a sixteen year, he had left his home to walk to Kashmir, India. He came to New Delhi from Peshawar before the 1947 Partition happened of our sub-continent.Shah Rukh Khan’s paternal grandfather was an Afghani. Mir Taj Mohammed Khan was a highly educated man who was a MA, LLB and was fluent in six languages including English, Hindi, Punjabi, Pushtu, Sanskrit and Persian. A gentle man with a great sense of humour who had charm and elegance, he treated Shah Rukh as an individual in his own right and as a friend. He expected his children to take responsibility for their actions. He loved sitting down and discussing all kind of things with his children. He was a good human being and loved reading as well as gardening. Shah Rukh Khan recalls him as a man who enjoyed talking to his flowers; he also recalls him as a very absent minded man who would sometimes eat his breakfast while in the toilet and forget he was there!Shah Rukh remembers that he would never get annoyed or irritated with his father and just remembers being scolded once or twice by him. Mir Taj Mohammed Khan had the ability to transform every activity in the house into a game.Mir Taj Mohammed Khan had various business ventures including a successful furniture business and a transportation business, which closed down because of his cheating partners. He even tried his hand at the restaurant and hotel business. Shah Rukh Khan was a fifteen year old when his father lost his eight month long struggle against cancer that had afflicted him. Lateef Fatima – Shah Rukh Khan Mother Shah Rukh Khan continues to miss his mother even to this day and believes that she is out there somewhere and looks out for him and still takes care of him. One of his regrets is that his mother didn’t get to see his movies or witness his first film award.His mother, Lateef Fatima was an Andhraite residing in Karnataka and was the eldest of four sisters. She was the daughter of Iftikhar Ahmed who was an Oxford educated Chief Engineer of Mangalore Port and had designed and built the Mangalore Port.

Shah Rukh Khan’s mother was the stricter of the two parents, yet was the one who pampered them the most. She was the one who shouted and scolded her kids and tried to maintain order. She wanted all the comforts of life for Shah Rukh Khan and generally denied him nothing. She bought his first car when he asked for one, against her husband’s wishes. She totally supported Shah Rukh Khan’s dreams of joining films and understood that he wasn’t interested in the family business. She encouraged him to enrol at the National School of Drama.Lateef Fatima was a strong woman and when her husband was critically ill with cancer, she took charge of their finances which were in a bad shape and worked almost twenty-four hours a day, to raise money for the expensive treatment.
