Forty years ago, today's 'King of Bollywood' Shah Rukh Khan was an 18-year-old young man. Gauri Sabbar entered his life. Seven years later, in 1991, Gauri became Shah Rukh Khan's wife. Today, October 8, marks her 55th birthday.

Gauri is a renowned producer and interior designer. She creatively decorates the homes and offices of Bollywood's top stars. She is also associated with Shah Rukh's Red Chillies Entertainment. On her birthday, Shah Rukh reminisced about their love story.

"It all started in 1984. I fell in love with a girl named Gauri. Her house was in Panchshila, and mine was in Huj Khas. At that time, I acted like any other young man in love. I started singing in parks and restaurants, 'Gauri tera gaon bara pyara...' In a video, Shah Rukh jokingly mentioned, 'Even after hearing my song, Gauri didn't leave me. She said, 'Useless.' To her, my song seemed very 'cheap.' Thankfully, she didn't!' This video interview is from the 1990s and has recently gone viral.

They first met at the Panchshila Club in Delhi in 1984. At that time, Shah Rukh was 18 and Gauri was 14. Shah Rukh stated in an interview that the phrase 'love at first sight' is true; he fell for Gauri the moment he saw her. Gauri has been by his side as he became one of Bollywood's most influential actors.

Shah Rukh and Gauri have spent many seasons together, crafting stories and epics in their relationship. Their children—Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam—have grown up. Shah Rukh mentioned in an interview, 'I spent my life on film sets. My career has been built on the sacrifices of my wife and children. Now I want to spend more time with my wife and kids.'

After eight years of dating, Shah Rukh and Gauri entered married life on August 26, 1991. Their relationship is praised by fans as Bollywood's 'power couple.' However, there have been rumors of a third person entering Shah Rukh and Gauri's relationship. There were speculations in Bollywood about a relationship developing between Shah Rukh and Priyanka Chopra, which affected their married life. Fortunately, the situation later normalized.
