When Gauri Khan walked out looking like a million bucks on the finale of Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives, many were reminded why she’s often called the first lady of Bollywood. With her dazzling smile and charming demeanor, superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s wife may have outshone the other women on the show and helped to make the show worth the binge. Apart from being the glamorous better half to SRK (and best friend to Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey, Seema Khan, and Neelam Kothari), what else is there to know about this Bollywood wife? A whole "Fabulous" lot!
Netflix's India's latest foray into reality TV after Indian Matchmaking, the Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives seems to have earned the top spot on everyone’s guilt-watch list this season. After all, the show that clearly looked like a love child of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and The Real Housewives franchise gave a different kind of view into the lives of Bollywood’s rich and famous, by making them more relatable. The show features ladies who DM Kim Kardashian and get ignored, are unsure about switching careers, and bicker over brunch. However, most people don't have Gauri Khan on speed-dial, do they? Except for the star mommies from Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives, of course.
Surely “Gauri Khan doesn’t need an introduction,” as Maheep says, but here’s one anyway. The diva who made her extended cameo in Bollywood Wives is a multi-faceted film producer and designer, who’s done everything from creating a nursery for Karan Johar’s twins to designing the flagship store for Ralph Lauren to conceptualizing a party room for Nita and Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia. Originally from Delhi, Gauri, 50, is a National Institute of Fashion Technology alumna who was also named one of Fortune magazine's "50 Most Powerful Women" in 2018. While Shah Rukh, 55, spoke about bonding with Gauri over their shared love for Neelam on the Netflix show, she was just 14 when she’d bumped into her future husband at a party. Rumor has it that SRK and Gauri’s first date was at Delhi's Panchshila Club, which they spent “nervously sipping colas” by the pool as per Vogue. It was a fight that led Gauri to fly to Mumbai. Shah Rukh followed her with just $135 in his pocket. The stars ended up tying the knot on October 25 1991 at the city’s Gorai Beach. See the couple below:
“She prayed for Shah Rukh's film to fail so that they could move back to Delhi,” Fabulous Lives star Karan Johar had once revealed. However, Gauri soon became accustomed to her husband’s career and also produced his super hit movies, Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Dear Zindagi. In fact, Gauri even made a special appearance in the SRK-Deepika Padukone project, Om Shanti Om. The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives star is mother to Aryan, Suhana, and Abram, and is the co-founder of film production and distribution company, Red Chillies Entertainment (with Shah Rukh). Although Gauri started interior decoration as a hobby while renovating her famous home (Mannat in Mumbai’s Bandra) in 2010, she ventured into interior decoration professionally. By 2017, she'd launched her own brand, Gauri Khan Designs. The uber-luxurious store as shown on the Netflix reality series is located in the posh Juhu neighborhood. See her kids below:
It won’t be surprising to see Gauri extend her cameo into a full-time role on the rumored Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives season 2, given the love she’s receiving. While Gauri has always maintained a private profile, there are millions of fans who’d love to see what their most favorite Bollywood wife is like when not gracing the best red carpets of the world.
All episodes of Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives are available to stream on Netflix.
