Now no one is trying to be smart here. This is a view expressed by the biggest Khan on the block — Shah Rukh Khan. Says SRK, “Khan is not a
surname. It is a title... like Mr. Just like the Sikhs are Jaspinder Singh (male) or Jassy Kaur (female), I’m Shah Rukh Khan. However, my wife Gauri or any woman who is using the title Khan is wrong. It should ideally be Khanum because Khanum is the female counterpart of Khan. All women who use Khan as their second name are in that sense incorrect.”
So, Farah Khan, Sussanne Khan and all you other women there using the name Khan, please make note. You should be using Khanum instead. Do we see producers rushing to register this title now?
