When SRK said he would never 'neglect' Gauri for stardom

Back in 1991, a young Shah Rukh Khan made it clear that stardom wouldn’t come at the cost of his personal life. In an interview, he openly dismissed the idea of neglecting his then-girlfriend (and now wife) Gauri or his family for fame, calling out actors who sacrificed relationships for their careers. His stance was refreshingly grounded—why choose between love and success when you can have both? True to his word, he married Gauri soon after, and his legendary Bollywood career took off.
Editor’s Note: This throwback moment isn’t just a sweet glimpse into SRK’s early principles—it’s a quiet rebuttal to the "sacrifice everything for fame" narrative that still lingers in showbiz. In an industry where personal lives often crumble under the spotlight, Khan’s decades-long marriage and career are a rare proof that balance is possible. It’s a reminder that success doesn’t have to mean losing yourself (or the people who matter).
