Shah Rukh Khan: 2 years for Gauri and me was honeymoon full of bumps
Shah Rukh Khan shared about the struggles he and Gauri faced when they came to Mumbai.
It's been 25 years since Shah Rukh Khan joined the film industry and the actor had his share of struggles and then there was no turning back for the superstar.
During an interview when Shah Rukh was asked about the struggles, he stated, "The struggle was just in the first few years of marriage. Gauri Khan was new to the film industry, so was I. It's not that I married an outside girl into the film industry. Two years for us in Mumbai was like honeymoon full of bumps. There was an issue like, "You will shoot 6 in the morning?"
He added, "I remember the first night when we actually came to Mumbai after about five-seven days. She spent that evening fully dressed, she wore chuda and Indian dress, and came to Film City and was there till 6 where Hema Ji was directing my film."
SRK further said, "One of the actors got late as it happens in the shoot and we wrapped by 8 instead of 6. There were no mobile phones, so I sent her a cab as I didn't own a car and said, 'Please come over and sit here because I am really sorry, this has taken a little bit.'"
Talking about how Gauri waited for him to end the shoot, King Khan shared, "She sat on her second night in Mumbai in Film City's makeup room. They were damp and dingy then, still, she sat there till in the morning and came back. I guess that kind of made her realise as angry as it may have got her, 'This is the life.'"
The Raees actor added, "We both were very new yaar, I was 25-26, she was 21. It was extremely new for her. So, those 2 years cooking omelettes for each other. It just passed off."
Speaking about life after being successful, SRK said, "Post that I became such a success, though none of us materialistic, my success became part of the family. There's a wife, now there are three children, there's a sister and there's a stardom. So, we all live together now."
Shah Rukh concluded by saying, "We take stardom as we take each other's success and failures with all love and care. It is all acceptable now. In the family group of six, there's the seventh which is kind of bigger than the other six."
