Shah Rukh Khan, known as Bollywood’s “King of Romance,” shares an even more remarkable love story off-screen with his wife, Gauri Khan. The couple often entertains fans with personal anecdotes about their relationship. Once, Shah Rukh shared a humorous story about how Gauri usually exchanges the gifts he buys her.
In a conversation with Farah Khan, Shah Rukh admitted that, while Gauri accepts his gifts, she exchanges them 99.99% of the time. He recalled an incident that highlighted her habit.
After sustaining a spine injury, Shah Rukh needed to stay in London for two months to recover. During this time, he bought himself a new T-shirt. Later, he realized the T-shirt was too big and decided to return it for a smaller, cotton one. However, Gauri told him the store didn’t allow exchanges, and she couldn’t help him return it.
To his surprise, two friends later visited him and revealed the truth. They informed Shah Rukh that Gauri had already exchanged his T-shirt—for a handbag. She had told the store staff that since he was in the hospital, he didn’t need new clothes. Shah Rukh was amused and surprised by her practicality.
He recalled their words: “Unhone tumhare liye kuch nahi liya, unhone kaha yeh toh hospital mein hai, usse kya naye kapde ki zaroorat hai, toh uske jagah unhone handbag le liya.” (She didn’t buy anything for you; she said you’re in the hospital and don’t need clothes, so she got a handbag instead.)
This story shows the lighthearted dynamic between Shah Rukh and Gauri, offering fans a glimpse into their enduring relationship filled with humor and understanding.
