She just couldnt stop praising Shahrukh for his hard work and dedication. Gauri goes by the fact that Shah Rukh is the King of Bollywood. She is the first lady of Bollywood who talked about her husband in such glowing terms in a chat show.

"He was always ambitious right from his childhood days, in his school, in his college he has always been on top. Whether it was as a student; football, hockey, his theatre anything, whatever he would touch would be gold. I think I was smart to marry him. I think that`s my smartness that I chose the right guy,” said Gauri khan.

However, the lady denied being the pillar behind SRK. Gauri also gave an insight into her love story. "Yes, he was the first person I met and went out with and he has been the only man. My parents were obviously against it because we were so young and then to get married to a person who was going to join films and being from a different religion. We even changed his name to 'Abhinav' so that they feel he was a Hindu boy and that was really silly and childish." She added.

It has been long sice and SRk is now the King of Bollywood. So one can definately say that Gauri had made the correct choice.
