Shah Rukh Khan is widely celebrated as the ‘King of Romance’ in Bollywood and the actor is often hailed to revolutionizing the romantic film genre in India. Yet, it’s a lesser-known fact that he experienced some difficulty while performing in front of the camera when his wife, Gauri Khan, was on set. Surprising, isn’t it? Allow us to delve into this intriguing episode that sheds light on the dynamics between the B-town couple in their relationship.

In a throwback interview with India Today Magazine, the actor disclosed that he found it challenging to perform in the presence of his wife. This revelation came at a time when SRK had not yet achieved the massive success he later attained with iconic films like DDLJ, though he was already quite renowned in India for his roles in movies such as Darr, Karan Arjun, and Baazigar, to name a few. Explaining the rationale behind this intriguing sentiment, he had stated, ‘I’ll be acting in front of someone who knows me really well.’

During the same interview, producer Vivek Vaswani, who was seated alongside Shah Rukh Khan, shared additional insights about his deep connection with his wifey Gauri. Shedding light on the essence of their relationship, Vivek conveyed that the beautiful couple was so profound that the Pathaan actor could forgo oxygen but not her presence. Furthermore, he revealed that the duo maintained a harmonious relationship, emphasizing, ‘They never engage in conflicts. When she raises her voice, he attentively listens. He is utterly infatuated with her.’
