(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) At the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, Shah Rukh Khan took a moment to share his deep admiration for Jackie Chan. During a conversation with the festival's artistic director, Khan revealed that Chan has been a significant source of inspiration for him. He recounted a personal story about his son, Aryan Khan, noting that when Aryan was born, he resembled Jackie Chan. This resemblance led Khan to hope that his son would follow in Chan's footsteps, even training him in Taekwondo with that expectation.

Khan fondly remembered an interaction where a friend once got Jackie Chan to sign a cap for Aryan. He later had the chance to meet Chan in Saudi Arabia and found him to be just as kind and wonderful as he had hoped.
