Hindu girl, Muslim boy… it sounds like the start of a Bollywood movie. The story of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Chibba is a whirlwind of romantic weekends, tabloid reporting, and begrudging parents and therefore totally typical of the actor-producer power couple.
Shah Rukh met and married Gauri when he was still just a TV actor beginning to make his name in the industry. They first met when he gatecrashed her party. She came from an upstanding Brahmin family and apparently they had a lot of people to fight before they could be together. How filmy is too filmy?
This is a classic example of life imitating art as SRK went on to gain the title of ‘King of Bollywood’ and his wife became one of the top film and television producers in India. Soon after their marriage they became the golden couple of celebrity magazines (like in the 90s-licious photo below – check out that earring!).
And after 20 years they still reign supreme at the top of the Bollywood chain of command. Look at them looking swank:
