Gauri Khan is the wife of Shahrukh Khan. Gauri Khan was born as Gauri Chhibber in Delhi to Punjabi Hindu parents Savita and Colonel Ramesh Chandra Chhibber who belong to Hoshiarpur. She was raised in the suburbs of Panchsheel Park, Delhi.
Gauri Khan made her appearance along with Sussanne Khan on Koffee with Karan in it’s first season. She was asked about the difference in her and SRK’s religion, to which, Gauri had said, “Shah Rukh, he doesn’t have any parents, unfortunately. If they were there, the elderly people in the house, they would have taken care. But, it’s nothing like that in our house.”
She further added, “It’s me who takes charge be it Diwali or Holi or any festival. So that’s why influence of my kids would be a lot with the Hindu part of the … but the thing is that, Aryan is so into Shah Rukh that he would follow his religion, I feel. He would always say ‘I am a Muslim’. When he tells this to my mother, she gets, ‘what do you mean?’.”
Speaking about her thoughts on converting, Gauri Khan said, “There is a balance, I respect Shah Rukh’s religion but that doesn’t mean that I would convert and become a Muslim. I don’t believe in that. I think everybody is an individual and follow their religion. But, obviously there should be no disrespect. Like Shah Rukh would not disrespect my religion as well.”
Gauri Chhibber changed her name to Gauri Khan after marrage but never converted to muslim. She is still hindu.
