Gauri said that it was only nine years of Shah Rukh Khan being in the industry, that she started paying attention to what he was doing. She came to understand how much films meant to her husband.

The reason for her longing for Shah Rukh’s film to fail was adjustment in Mumbai. She said that she was finding it difficult to adjust to the city right after marriage. So, SRK promised her that they would leave Mumbai if his films didn’t work or if she couldn’t come to terms with the city. “I kept wishing that all his films flopped and we went back to Delhi. I didn’t care whether his Deewana or Baazigar did well. I didn’t see his movies,” Gauri Khan said. Life can be quite surprising, right?
