Shah Rukh Khan reveals why he kept his marriage with Gauri Khan under wraps: 'They threw stones... '

Actor Shah Rukh Khan's love story with his now wife Gauri Khan wasn't all rosy. He initially faced opposition from Gauri, her family and then some religious institutions.

In an interview with BBC, SRK had shared that if he had been in place of Gauri's parents, he would have not let his daughter get married to someone like him.

'Now I look ok, I wear a suit and my hair is combed back. But at that time, I had hair all over here (pointing towards his forehead) and I was from a different religion. I wanted to be an actor. So, with this combination, if somebody came up to me and if I had a daughter and they said, ‘See my head is like this, I am from a different religion, and I want to be a film star’, I would say, ‘Just pack your bags and get out of the house before I kick you out’. So, I think they were completely right in not wanting their daughter to marry me,’ he said.

After Gauri's parents gave a go ahead to their marriage, Shah Rukh had protests outside of the house. Fortunately, the actor didn't have a house in his name, so he had given his friend's address. Instead of throwing stones at him, they were throwing stones at his friend's house.

‘We had protests outside of the house. Fortunately, I didn’t have a house in my name, so I had given a friend’s address. Instead of throwing stones at me, they were throwing stones at him. My friend Sanjay was calling me saying, ‘They are throwing stones at my house’. That happened. So, we had to keep it (their marriage) a little under the wrap and get it done,’ SRK said.

Shah Rukh and Gauri got married on 25th October 1991. The couple is parents to three kids, Aryan, Suhana and AbRam.
