Isn’t it hilarious that Shah Rukh Khan, the hero who defines romance in Bollywood, failed twice before marrying the love of his life, Gauri Khan?

Shah Rukh Khan, the romance guru of the Bollywood industry, shockingly faced rejection not once, but twice from the one girl he had eyes for amidst a crowd of admirers. Spoiler alert: in the end, Shah Rukh managed to win over the heart of none other than Gauri Khan herself, who is now his wife. The story of Gauri Khan and Shah Rukh Khan started when he laid eyes on her in 1984 party where she was enjoying a dance. At that time Shah Rukh Khan was only 18 years old. Being a very shy human being, Shah Rukh’s hands were getting cold to even step forward and ask her for a dance.Shah Rukh Khan told his co-star revealing his love at first sight experience with now-wife Gauri. He said, “I’m not overtly cool with women, I was never the guy to ask ‘May I have the next dance please’. But there was this girl dancing in front of me, I asked my friend who she was. He went to find out and danced with her. He came and told me, “She’s waiting for her boyfriend.” Shah Rukh Khan continued the story by telling how Gauri Khan used to be back then, he continued, “She talked a lot, which is strange, because you know Gauri, she doesn’t talk much. Then she explained that she wasn’t waiting for her boyfriend, but for her brother. She just used that line so she wouldn’t have to dance with any cheapskate.”Somehow things worked out and Shah Rukh Khan got the girl of his dreams, Gauri Khan. He used to be extremely possessive of Gauri Khan. He would absolutely not have it if other men would come near her or talk to her. At last, the actor confessed his love and proposed to her for the first time. Gauri immediately refused as her parents were against it. Being a teenager, Gauri left for Mumbai without telling Shah Rukh Khan. The actor, blind in love, sold his camera to move to the city just to find her and see her once again.He and his friends would often take turns and try to find Gauri Khan on the streets. At last, one day Shah Rukh Khan met Gauri Khan once again on the beach in Mumbai. Even after emotional reunion when the actor proposed again, Gauri Khan was adamant on her decision and replied ‘no’ for the second time. Shah Rukh Khan unlike modern days boys did not accept his defeat and tried to win her over again. He explained the story as, “I found her, I told her, let’s get married. She refused even then, she was quite hard-hearted. A year later, my mother died so she felt sorry for me. So she said let’s get married. She didn’t want me to be an actor. So I said okay let’s marry. My producers said not to marry, ‘Bachelor hero ki fan following zyada hoti hai, but I said, ‘Mushkil se pataya, shaadi karni padegi’.”Finally the love of his life said yes and the couple officially announced their union on October 25, 1991. As a gold-hearted person, Shah Rukh Khan on his wedding day performed the Hindu ritual as per Gauri Khan’s religion. The actor in one interview revealed, “After dancing, I came and sat down at the mandap. I felt that in no way that should it come across to anyone that being not from the same religion, I’m making fun of the religion. I wanted to show seriousness towards it. So I became a little serious and got into method acting. Once they started the ceremony, I kept asking questions and so a 45-minute ceremony became 2 hours and everyone said don’t take it so seriously.” To stay updated with the latest Bollywood news, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, like us on Facebook and visit masala.com, which is updated daily. jQuery(function($){ $("#main img").each(function(){ var $this = $(this), flag = ""; if (this.hasAttribute("alt") === false) //text = " has no alt attribute"; flag=1; else if ($this.attr("alt") === "") //text = " has an empty alt attribute"; flag=1; else //text = " has an alt attribute of '"+$this.attr("alt")+"'"; flag=0; if(flag==1){ var trimStr = $.trim($("#main h1").text()); if($this.parent().hasClass("post-thumbnail")){ $this.attr('alt',trimStr); } else { if($this.next().text() === "") $this.attr('alt',trimStr); else $this.attr('alt',$this.next().text()); } } }); }); Tagged: AbRam, aryan khan, Bollywood, bollywood news, celebrities, Entertainment, gauri khan, shah rukh khan, shah rukh khan and gauri khan, suhana khan
