After wedding each other in 1991, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan is one of Bollywood’s most looked up to couple.
However, prior to the marriage, Shah Rukh did admit to having gotten beaten up for acknowledging her as his girlfriend.
SRK and Gauri are both blessed with 3 beautiful children, Aryan, Suhana and AbRam, and have been married for over 25 years. Yet the superstar always calls his wife ‘bhabhi’ when they are in Delhi.
As per a report, when the incident took place, Shah Rukh was younger and wanted to show off that he was dating at that age. He opened up all about it on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2016.
“Main Green Park mein tha. Maine ek girlfriend banayi thi nayi nayi. Girlfriend kya thi, Delhi wale jaise bolte hai girlfriend. Kuch nahi thi, aise hi saath main ghoom rahi thi bechari ladki (I was in Green Park. I had just made a new girlfriend. She was not actually a girlfriend, just a poor girl who was roaming with me),” he began.
He then went on to say that suddenly out of no where he was surrounded by a group of rowdy boys. “Ek ne mere ko rok liya, bola ki ‘Yeh kaun hai?’ Main thoda St Columba’s School ka tha, maine kaha, ‘She’s my girlfriend’. He said, ‘Girlfriend nahi hai, teri bhabhi hai’ (One of them stopped me and asked, ‘Who is she?’ I went to St Columba’s School, so I confidently said, ‘She is my girlfriend.’ The boy said, ‘She is not your girlfriend, she is your sister-in-law’).”
He then went on to say, “Girlfriend ka friend khatam nahi hua do koot koot ke maare unhone mujhe. Ek ke haath main na kulhadh tha, kulhadh de ke maara mere muh pe. Ab yeh zamana aa gaya hai main biwi ke saath bhi Delhi mein nikalta hoon aur koi poochta hai kaun hai toh main kehta hoon meri bhabhi hai.”
(I could barely complete the word ‘girlfriend’ and they beat me up. One had a clay cup in his hand, he threw that on my face. Even now, I am so scared that even if I step out with my wife in Delhi and someone asks who she is, I say that she is my sister-in-law.)
This is how the infamous couple came to be. Hilarious? We think so too.
