Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's journey to marriage wasn’t a cakewalk and the couple had faced their fair share of struggles on the way. The problems in Shah Rukh and Gauri’s journey had arisen as she hailed from a family of Hindu Brahmins and he was the pathani Muslim guy. It was tough for the couple to convince her parents for an inter-religion union. But eventually, they had given a nod to their relationship. When Gauri had appeared on Koffee With Karan season 1, she was asked about the difference in her and Shah Rukh’s religion. Gauri had said, "Shah Rukh, he doesn't have parents, unfortunately. If they were there, the elderly people in the house, they would have taken care. But, it's nothing like that in our house. It's me who takes charge be it Diwali or Holi or any festival.

He would always say 'I am a Muslim'. When he tells this to my mother, she gets, 'what do you mean?'."
Sharing that she respects her husband, Shah Rukh Khan’s religion but that doesn’t mean she would convert, Gauri Khan had continued, "There is a balance, I respect Shah Rukh's religion but that doesn't mean that I would convert and become a Muslim. I don't believe in that. I think everybody is an individual and follow their religion. But, obviously there should be no disrespect. Like Shah Rukh would not disrespect my religion as well."
