When Shah Rukh Khan was just starting out in Bollywood when producer Vivek Vaswani made it his goal to help launch Shah Rukh’s career strategically. They became good friends, so when Shah Rukh married Gauri Khan in 1991, Vivek was there as a guest. In a recent interview, Vivek remembered attending Shah Rukh’s wedding and shared stories from that time.
In the interview with Siddharth Kannan, Vivek mentioned that at the time of Shah Rukh’s wedding, the now-Badshah of Bollywood was still living with him at his parents’ house. As a wedding gift, Vivek gave the newlyweds a five-day stay at a hotel in Mumbai. After that, they moved into an apartment owned by filmmaker Aziz Mirza.
“After the wedding, we took Gauri to Darjeeling because we had to shoot the title song of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. When they returned to Bombay, of course, they couldn’t stay at my house so as a gift, I gave them five days at Sun n Sand, then they moved to Aziz’s house,” he said.
When asked about the wedding, Vivek Vaswani said the food was delicious. He said it as a great wedding with everything being nice and lots of fun. He also recalled that the couple had Hindu and Muslim ceremonies along with a registered wedding, all on the same day. Speaking about Gauri, Vivek said that they never spoke too much but he always found her to be “warm and cordial”.
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan have been married for 32 years now. The couple tied the knot even before Shah Rukh Khan kicked off his Bollywood journey in 1991. Shah Rukh is now one of the biggest superstars in the country while Gauri has established herself as a renowned interior designer. The couple also has three children — sons Aryan Khan and AbRam Khan, and daughter Suhana Khan.
