Mumbai: The Hindi film industry is unpredictable. Many stars sooner or later lose their charm and struggle immensely to survive.
However, the charisma is King Khan is never to die. Till today, he manages to win over hearts with his signature pose. While crores of girls are dying to get a glance of SRK, his heart beats only for one girl.
That is none other than his wife and first love, Gauri Khan. Despite, several years of marriage, they have survived many tests of time, which makes them one of the most inspiring and stable couples.
The romance of this Bollywood superstar, who is known to be the ultimate on-screen lover, is nothing less than a filmy story in itself.
As per reports, Shah Rukh laid eyes on Gauri Chibber for the first time at a common friend’s party in 1984, when he was only 18 years old. He saw her dancing with another boy, and due to his shy temperament, he could not ask her for a dance.
When he finally gathered the courage to ask her for a dance, Gauri turned him down by saying that she was waiting for her boyfriend. Shah Rukh’s dreams of love shattered at that very moment. But in reality, there was no ‘boyfriend’; it was her brother she was there with.
Shah Rukh told in an interview, that later when he came to know about this, he called her and said, “mujhe bhi apna bhai samjho.” (Consider me your brother too!). And, this was how their beautiful relationship began.
Gauri soon fell for Shah Rukh’s wit, confidence and style, and the two started going out. But, Shah Rukh, by nature, was very possessive about Gauri. It was then that Gauri realised that she needed a break from this relationship. A day after she celebrated her birthday at Shah Rukh’s place (complete with flowers, gifts and cake), she left for Mumbai with her friends without telling him.
Later, SRK’s mother told him to go after his love and gave him ten thousand rupees. Shah Rukh recalls that he and his friends searched the entire city, but had no luck in finding Gauri. It was only after a very frantic search that he found her at a beach. They both laid eyes on each other and broke down crying while in each other’s arms. That moment they realised that both of them could not live without each other and decided to get married.
