When Gauri rejected Shah Rukh's help for her business
Gauri Khan has released a new coffee table book titled My Life In Design. The book has numerous photographs from the nooks and corners of Mannat, the Khans' residence that has lovingly been decorated by Gauri over the years. Meanwhile, at the launch event, Shah Rukh Khan revealed how Gauri reacted to the help he offered when she was setting up her business.
Why does this story matter?
They're one of the most loved Bollywood couples. Their love story seems straight out of a film with the right amount of love, separation, family rejection, and a happy ending involved. While SRK is truly Bollywood's King Khan, Gauri has her own success story as an interior designer. She created her own identity that is far and beyond that of being a Bollywood housewife.
Here's why Gauri refused to take his help
At the event, SRK said how Gauri was always dedicated to supporting him in reaching stardom. She started her business at 40, and when Shah Rukh asked if he should help her connect with his friends for the business, she refused the offer. Next, he recalled how she "started a small 10 feet by 20 feet shop somewhere in Lower Parel."
SRK on how Gauri inspires everyone to achieve their goals
The actor further said that in their family, Gauri is the one who is always occupied with work. He said that once when he asked her why she works so much, she responded by saying work brings her satisfaction. Shah Rukh also said that how to follow your dream at any age is something that one should learn from Gauri.
