Shah Rukh Khan is not only the romance king of Bollywood but in real life too. He was a Hindu college Grad student when he first met his soulmate Gauri at a party in 1984 and fell in love with her, completely head over heels.

After having worked in several TV series, Shah Rukh took the decision to move to Mumbai, reportedly, as a way to escape the feeling of loss left behind after his mother's death. However, surprisingly, Gauri wasn't always on board with SRK’s career plans. 

Karan Johar, in one of his interviews, once said, “She prayed for Shah Rukh's film to fail so that they could move back to Delhi.” 

“I had no patience for films,” Gauri had told Vogue. “It was only after I met Shah Rukh that I learnt to enjoy his passion for cinema,” she added. 

Over the years, Gauri has played a major role in her husband’s career. She has played producer for many of Shah Rukh's films including Main Hoon Na (2004), Om Shanti Om (2007) and Dear Zindagi (2016).
