Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan have been together since they were very young, and they share a close relationship. Shah Rukh and Gauri, one of the most talked-about couples in the Bollywood industry, are the proud parents of three children.
Aryan Khan, their oldest child, was born in 1997, and Suhana Khan, who is now 22 years old, was born in 2000. When the Badshah of Bollywood revealed that he and his wife would be having a third child via surrogacy, many people’s eyebrows were raised. In 2013, they welcomed their third child into the world. Through the use of a surrogate mother, their youngest son, AbRam, was born.
Their third kid was the subject of many controversies and rumours. Rumours spread that AbRam was the love child of Shah Rukh’s eldest son Aryan Khan. At a TED Talk in Vancouver, SRK addressed the matter and clarified that the decision to have a third child was decided by him and his beloved wife. He also dispelled the allegations by stating that their eldest son was just 15 years old. He declared,
“Four years ago, my lovely wife Gauri (Khan) and me decided to have a third child. It was claimed on the net that he was the love child of our first child, who was 15 years old”
“Apparently, he had sown his wild oats with a girl while driving her car in Romania. And yeah, there was a fake video to go with it. And we were so disturbed as a family. My son, who is 19 now, even now when you say ‘hello’ to him, he just turns around and says, ‘But bro, I didn’t even have a European driving license’”
Apart from this, with the birth of AbRam, people were curious about one more thing.
A fan wanted to know why AbRam is spelt with the capital ‘R’ in it. The fan asked Shah Rukh Khan the reason behind it. SRK’s witty reply had won everyone’s hearts over the internet
During the #AskSRK session on Twitter, the fans asked,
“I know its a stupid question but why ‘r’ is capital in abRam”

Shah Rukh gave a lighthearted response. He explained not only the significance of his son’s unusual name but also why the family liked it.
As an answer, Shah Rukh Khan said,
“For the same reason that Rhythm is spelt like this.”
Shah Rukh also explained,
“His name is based on a variation of Prophet Ibrahim. And I liked the connotation that it’s kind of a secular name. We are a Hindu-Muslim family so to say, and I want my children to grow up without any difference of opinion in the name. It’s nice this way and has more universal appeal.. It sounds very nice with the name of Hindu god Ram in it.”
Many people have repeatedly questioned King Khan about the significance of the capital “R” in AbRam’s name. With this information, the mystery surrounding the unusual name of AbRam Khan, the younger son of Shah Rukh Khan, is finally solved.
