PERSONAL LIFE OF SHAHRUKKH KHAN
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Chibber met in 1984 at a mutual friends’ party. The young man immediately noticed a spectacular girl, hesitated to talk to her for a long time, and when he still plucked up courage, he heard: “Sorry, I’m waiting for my boyfriend.”
Shah Rukh’s heart and self-esteem were broken. But he soon found out that the “guy” was actually Gauri’s brother. And in the end, the stylish and funny Shah Rukh won the girl’s heart. They started dating. The period of “grinding” was long, due to the jealous nature of Khan set her conditions that freedom-loving Gauri could not accept. For example, he demanded not to go out into the street with loose hair. Several times the couple parted, then converged again, because both understood that they could no longer live without each other.
When Shah Rukh proposed to Gauri and she said yes, the young couple’s ordeal was not over. The fact is that the girl’s father belonged to the brahmana caste (the highest religious class in India). He was against the marriage of his daughter with a man, firstly, someone else’s faith, and secondly, he had not yet achieved anything in life.
Gauri had to hide his relationship with Khan for 5 years. Finally, in October 1991, the lovers got married.
In 1997, the couple had a son, Aryan, and three years later, a daughter, Suhana. In 2013, Shah Rukh and Gauri became parents for the third time – their son Abram was born from a surrogate mother. Khan’s children are of both religions; in his house, the Koran is located next to images of Hindu deities.
