Gauri Khan had met Shah Rukh Khan when he was a nobody. He was struggling to make a foothold in Bollywood industry, it was her love and constant support that he is the most successful star of the glamour world. Shah Rukh had made us believe in true love in the 90s with his iconic films and whenever we spot our favourite star with his off-screen ladylove, Gauri, our heart skips a beat. It’s been more than 25 years of their marriage and one look at this lovely couple makes us fall in love with them. But their adorable bond is not built in a day as they too had their share of ups and downs, bitter memories and troubles in their marriage.
In an old interview, where Shah Rukh and Gauri had graced the talk show, Rendezvous With Simi Garewal in the year 1997, the couple had talked about the initial days of their relationship. When Gauri was asked whether Shah Rukh has always been protective, she had replied that his protectiveness was more of possessiveness. She had stated, “It was possessiveness. It has turned to protectiveness. He was disgustingly possessive, he was sick. He wouldn’t let me wear a white shirt because he thought that it was transparent. It was a kink in the mind, I think.”
Shah Rukh had agreed that it was not right on his part to be so possessive about her and had stated that he was quite insecure about their relationship. He had further revealed that it was his lack of ownership on Gauri which had made him overprotective towards her. He had also agreed that in order to control her and prove his ownership on her, he had turned very cheap. When asked how Gauri had dealt with such a possessive lover, she had stated, “I kicked him and left him for very long. He had to learn because I said, ‘Okay, bye. Otherwise you will never see me again.’” (Also Read: Archana Puran Singh Shares 'Old But Gold' Pictures With Hubby, Parmeet Sethi On Day-2 Of Lockdown)
