Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are often celebrated as the epitome of a perfect couple by their fans, but their journey hasn’t always been smooth. A resurfaced clip from an old episode of Simi Garewal’s show, now viral on Reddit, reveals candid insights into a more complicated chapter of their relationship.
In the clip, Gauri Khan shared how Shah Rukh initially tried to impose restrictions on her clothing choices. “He wouldn’t let me wear a white shirt because he thought…” Gauri began, only for Shah Rukh to interject, “It was transparent.” Gauri confirmed, “Yeah, any white shirt.” Shah Rukh further added, “If you were my girlfriend, you were not allowed open hair and white shirts. No way.”
Shah Rukh candidly admitted that his behavior stemmed from insecurity and a desire for control, particularly because their relationship wasn’t public knowledge at the time. “I knew her, but nobody knew that I knew her, so there was this feeling of lack of ownership, which both men and women can experience. To cope, I tried to exert control and, honestly, became very cheap. I even enjoyed that cheapness,” he confessed.
Here is the video clip:
The candid admission offers a glimpse into the growth and evolution of their relationship, showcasing how the couple navigated their challenges to become the iconic pair they are today.
