Known for his witty remarks, Shah Rukh decided to pull a prank on the relatives and quickly told Gauri, “‘OK Gauri, put on your ‘burkha’ and let’s read the namaaz now.’ The whole family stared at us wondering if I had already changed her religion already. So I told them, “From now on she will wear a burkha all the time, she won’t ever leave the house and her name will be changed to Ayesha and she will be like this.”
Although he had fun pulling the prank, the superstar did share his words of wisdom on religion. “I had a lot of fun, but the lesson in all of this was that one should respect religion but it should not come in the way of love. But, it was a great wedding and it’s still going on strong.”
