has always maintained her individuality while being married to Bollywood superstar for nearly 33 years. The couple's interfaith marriage, celebrating both Hindu and Islamic traditions, has often drawn attention—especially Gauri's decision not to convert to Islam. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Challenges before marriage The couple tied the knot in October 1991, but their journey to marriage faced challenges. Gauri's parents were initially hesitant because it was an interfaith wedding. To ease their concerns, they even tried changing Shah Rukh's name to Abhinav so he would be seen as a Hindu, though Gauri later described this effort as unnecessary and childish. At the time of their wedding, many in Gauri's family were concerned that Shah Rukh might pressure her to convert to Islam. Shah Rukh later recalled that, to lighten the mood, he jokingly pretended that Gauri would adopt a Muslim identity, teasing the family about her wearing a burkha and taking on a new name, which left them momentarily shocked. Maintaining faith and mutual respect In the first season of , Gauri discussed her choice not to convert, emphasizing that she respects Shah Rukh's religion while maintaining her own faith.

She noted that their children embrace both festivals, often following Shah Rukh's lead, and enjoy celebrating both Diwali and Eid. Teaching children about identity In a 2013 interview with Outlook Turning Points, Shah Rukh shared that observing both religions at home sometimes left their children confused about their faith.
