An old interview of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has gone viral on social media, where he shared a humorous incident from his early days of marriage with Gauri Khan.

In the interview, Shah Rukh recalled jokingly telling Gauri to wear a burqa and adopt the name Ayesha during his first visit to her family after their wedding. He admitted the remark was made in jest as everyone was conversing in Punjabi.

Reflecting on the moment, Shah Rukh acknowledged that such humor might not have been appropriate, especially given the context of meeting his wife’s family. The story has sparked renewed discussion about the actor’s charm and candid nature.
