The classy Gauri Khan celebrates her 44th birthday today. Born on 8 October, 1970, Gauri has today emerged out of the shadow of her formidable husband, Shah Rukh Khan, and come into her own as a successful interior designer and film producer. On the eve of her birthday, we walk down the memory lane and take look at 10 unknown facts of the lady and her famous actor husband from their heydays. SRK's arm extensions and dimpled smile is enough to make women go weak in their knees but Gauri certainly was not impressed when she saw him for the first time. The first meeting happened when Gauri saw SRK in an auditorium and she thought of her future husband as quite ugly. Her second meeting with SRK happened at a party and Gauri didn't like him at all then too. It wasn't love at first sight for her. The ice was finally broken after a few more meetings and love gradually happened. According to Gauri, SRK was caring and obsessed about her in a way that she could treat him like a slave. SRK was very possessive about Gauri. He didn't like her talking to others, leaving her hair open or wearing a swim suit. He also almost beat up one of Gauri's friend's boyfriend because the poor fellow had visited Gauri. Gauri hated the fact that SRK had chosen acting as his profession. SRK landed in Mumbai in search of Gauri with just Rs.10000 in hand. After SRK shifted base to Mumbai to pursue acting, he used to make STD calls to Gauri in Delhi from a calling booth in Shivaji park, Dadar. When a married SRK and Gauri moved to Mumbai, Vivek Vaswani gifted them a two night stay at Sun-n-Sand hotel. The couple had a five day honeymoon in Darjeeling where SRK was shooting for Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. SRK brought his first flat in Carter Road using 30 lakh paid to him for the movie, Guddu. SRK had promised Gauri that he would buy Mannat for her and kept good his promise. If you want to share more facts, hit the comment section below.
