Today (November 2) is a big day for the fans of Shah Rukh Khan. It is on this day that the actor was born, 59 years ago. As we celebrate his life, legacy, and the person that King Khan is, we look back at the time when his then-producers asked him not to marry Gauri Khan as it might affect his stardom and fame.

Years ago, Shah Rukh Khan was in an interview with Preity Zinta wherein he spoke about his love life and wedding with Gauri Khan. The birthday boy then revealed that he proposed to his now-wife multiple times before finally convincing her to tie the knot with him. But lucky for him, he managed to get a ‘yes’ from ‘hard-hearted’ Gauri. The actor thinks she felt sorry for him after his mother passed away and this is probably the reason she agreed to marry him.
