Back in 1991, interfaith marriage was a huge deal, especially when it was about a Hindu and Muslim wedding. Same was the scenario with Gauri’s extended family, who kept wondering about their daughter’s fate post marriage with SRK. And when the Pathan actor pulled off a prank on the same, nobody could keep calm!

Shah Rukh Khan narrated the entire incident during Farida Jalal’s talk show. He shared, “I remember when their whole family, old fashioned people, I respect them all and respect their beliefs but at that time, in that old-fashioned reception, all of them were sitting there when I came in at 1:15, whispering “Hmmm.. He’s a Muslim boy. Hmm.. Will he change the girl’s name? Will she (Gauri) become a Muslim?”

Sharing how the relatives were in an intense discussion about the same, Shah Rukh Khan continued, “They were all talking in Punjabi. So, I looked at the time and said, ‘OK Gauri, put on your burqa and let’s read the namaaz now.’ The whole family stared at us wondering if I had already changed her religion already. So I told them, ‘From now on she will wear a burqa all the time, she won’t ever leave the house and her name will be changed to Ayesha and she will be like this.’”

The entire incident did come across as a lesson to many about how every religion should be respected and that love has no bounds!
