Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri Khan recently revealed the reason why the actor is not allowed to post pictures he has clicked on Instagram.
SRK and Gauri were speaking at the Hindustan Times Most Stylish 2019 where the duo won HT’s Most Stylish Couple award.
Gauri and SRK have been married for 27 years and were shown some throwback pictures. When host Vicky Kaushal revealed that the couple will be seeing their old pictures, Gauri went, “Oh no!” and Vicky replied, “So, you have some ‘oh no’ pictures?”
When they were shown an Instagram post of Shah Rukh where he had written that Gauri finally “allowed” him to post him a photo on Instagram that he has clicked, Gauri said, “The only reason I don’t allow him to post pictures, because as I said, he takes two hours to get ready. Even in the pictures, he doesn’t care how the family is looking (laughs). So maybe, that’s the reason. I have to make sure I am looking good in the picture.” Gauri also went on to say how Shah Rukh takes a lot of time to get ready, “Every time we are stepping out, I am ready in 20 minutes but he takes 2-3 hours. Tonight, I put in a lot of effort and took three hours and he took six,” she said.
When Vicky told SRK that his “selfie game is so on point”, SRK asked him to convince his kids. “Hai na? Please tell my family. Ye sab mera mazaak udate hain, wife, bacche, ki mai zyada filter use karta hu, ye karta hu and they don’t allow me to put any picture.”

Vicky said he often tries to take a selfie like Shah Rukh but tries but fails to get ‘that light’. Shah Rukh then said, “Wo mere ghar se nikal ke subah 6 baje, meri gaadi ke left side me milti hai (You get that light at 6am outside my house, towards the left side of my car).”
The entire conversation between Vicky and Shah Rukh convinced Gauri to allow the superstar one selfie a year. “You get to post one selfie a year, with the family,” she said.
The first picture to be shown was where Shah Rukh is seen with Gauri in Darjeeling. Shah Rukh quipped, “This is my favourite picture. When I got married, I was very poor while Gauri was middle-class, well-to-do. So like how usually everyone does, I had promised her that after we get married, ‘I’ll take you to Paris and show you the Eiffel Tower’. But obviously, it was all a lie because neither I had the money nor I had the air tickets but somehow I convinced her. I fooled her into believing I was taking her to Paris and took her to Darjeeling.”
Host Vicky Kaushal also mentioned how they have been married for 27 years and Shah Rukh said, “Kya baat kar raha hai, we have come as a young, stylish couple.”
When a dog was seen in a picture alongside Gauri and Shah Rukh, the actor said, “Yeh mai hau, Gauri aur Gauri ka bhai (This me, Gauri and her brother),” before going on to explain how he is non-romantic in real life. He said this was their first pet, a dog they named Chewbacca Khan. ”It seems like I am very romantic but ..(it is not the case in reality). Gauri likes dogs and I gifted her a dog that I took from her maternal uncle,” the actor, who is often called the king of romance in the film industry, said.
