Gauri Khan wanted SRK’s films to flop? Her surprising confession will shock you.

Behind every Bollywood blockbuster is an anxious wife secretly wishing for a flop! Gauri Khan’s candid confession about SRK’s early career will leave you both surprised and amused.

Shah Rukh had the love of his life, Gauri Khan, supporting him even before he started his acting journey. Interestingly, Gauri Khan revealed that she never prayed for her husband's success in films, even though her family did.

Gauri admitted that she wasn't interested in Shah Rukh doing films initially and didn't enjoy his early success.

"I was not interested in him doing films... which was why I never enjoyed his initial success," she said on interview.

"Surprisingly, my family, who were initially against him joining films, began to support his career by praying and watching his movies," she remembered, adding that her family watched all his films. "I, on the contrary, never hoped and prayed that he did well. My involvement in his career was zero."

It was only after nine years in the industry that Gauri became more aware of Shah Rukh's work and the success of his films. She credited her close friends, who were more connected to films, for helping her understand the industry. Over time, Gauri realized how much films meant to Shah Rukh and appreciated his desire to be technically involved in filmmaking.

Gauri also confessed that she wanted Shah Rukh's films to flop so they could move back to Delhi, as she found it difficult to adjust to Mumbai: "I kept wishing that all his films flopped and we went back to Delhi. I didn't care whether his Deewana or Baazigar did well. I didn't see his movies. I haven't seen all his films. If he had done about 25-30 films, I must have seen only half of them. I had no interest at all in what he was doing."

Despite receiving acting offers due to Shah Rukh's rising stardom, Gauri knew that acting wasn't the right path for her and turned down the opportunities. 

She explained, "I got a few film offers but it was so silly that just because your husband is into films, you automatically get acting offers. It made no sense at all. Just because you have the opportunity, you can't do something you're not inclined towards. And Shahrukh would never let me act in any case. He is too possessive of me. He would rather die a million deaths than let me act or do even a small role in films."
