During one of the episodes of Koffee With Karan, hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, Gauri Khan spoke about the mutual respect for their respective religions that she and Shah Rukh have shared since the very beginning. "There is a balance. I respect Shah Rukh's religion, but that doesn't mean I would convert and become a Muslim. I don't believe in that." Gauri further expressed that everyone is an individual who follows their own religion. She emphasized that mutual respect is essential, adding that Shah Rukh Khan would never disrespect her religion, and she would never disrespect his.
