Dhirubhai Ambani School Annual Function: Shah Rukh Khan’s quiet family moment stands out amid celebrity roll call

Dhirubhai Ambani School Annual Function: The annual day function of Mumbai’s Dhirubhai Ambani International School once again turned into a gathering of some of the country’s most recognisable faces. However, beyond the usual flash of cameras and familiar celebrity sightings, the event highlighted a quieter, more personal side of India’s biggest stars, that of parents showing up for their children.

Shah Rukh Khan arrived with wife Gauri Khan and daughter Suhana Khan to attend the school’s annual day programme featuring their youngest son, AbRam Khan. Keeping his appearance understated in a black shirt, sunglasses and a beanie, the actor avoided the spotlight and made a swift entry, focused entirely on supporting AbRam.

Despite a packed professional schedule, Shah Rukh has often spoken about the importance of family and his presence at the school function reflected that belief.

The timing of Shah Rukh Khan’s appearance also drew attention as it followed another widely discussed family moment earlier in the week. The actor was seen attending a football event in Kolkata alongside AbRam, where he met football icon Lionel Messi at the Salt Lake Stadium.

Visuals of Messi interacting with Shah Rukh and posing with AbRam went viral, with fans celebrating the rare intersection of global football and Bollywood stardom. Together, the two public appearances offered a glimpse into Shah Rukh’s efforts to create meaningful experiences with his son.

The school’s annual function also saw the Bachchan family arriving to support Aaradhya Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were seen attending the event, accompanied by Aishwarya’s mother Vrinda Rai. Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput were also spotted arriving for their children, while Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor attended together. Karisma’s daughter Samaira was seen accompanying her.

Cricketer Rohit Sharma was another prominent parent present at the function, underscoring how the event brings together families from the worlds of cinema, sports and business under one roof.

While several of these celebrities continue to make headlines for professional projects and personal developments, the Dhirubhai Ambani School annual function offered a different narrative altogether.

For a few hours, stardom took a backseat as these well-known figures sat in the audience, applauded performances and shared proud parent moments, reminding many that even the biggest names find joy in the simplest milestones of their children’s lives.
