When Shah Rukh Khan revealed he would leave Bollywood if asked to choose between wife Gauri Khan and acting, said, "I love her body, she is the only..."

Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s love story is nothing short of legendary in Bollywood. The two met as teenagers in Delhi—SRK was 18 and Gauri was just 14. What began as a shy encounter at a friend's wedding turned into a lifelong commitment. As they celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary on October 25, their journey continues to inspire millions.

For Shah Rukh, it was love at first sight. Despite Gauri initially refusing to dance with him—saying she was waiting for her boyfriend (who turned out to be her brother)—SRK didn’t lose hope. In his signature witty style, he responded, “Mujhe apna bhai hi samjho” (Think of me as your brother). That bold charm marked the beginning of a relationship that would stand the test of time, distance, and stardom.
Through all the glitz, fame, and chaos of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan has remained a devoted husband. While he is often referred to as the ‘King of Romance’ on screen, his real-life romance with Gauri is even more powerful. Despite the demands of being a global superstar, SRK has always made it clear where his priorities lie.

In a now-iconic interview with Stardust magazine in 1992, Shah Rukh made a powerful statement that summed up his loyalty to his wife. He said, “My wife comes first. And I can tell you this much, that if ever I am asked to make a choice between my career and Gauri, I’ll leave film.” Coming from an actor who once declared he would like to “act till the day he dies,” this sentiment shows the depth of his love.

SRK didn’t stop there. Opening up about his emotional dependence on Gauri, he added, “I mean I would go insane but for her. She’s the only thing I have… I love her body. I am hooked to her.” These words reflect the deep bond they share—not just physical attraction, but a grounding emotional support that has anchored him through the highs and lows of stardom.
Over the years, Shah Rukh and Gauri have not only built a beautiful family together—with three children: Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam—but have also supported each other in their respective careers. Gauri has made a name for herself as an interior designer and producer, while Shah Rukh continues to rule hearts across generations.
