Mumbai, May 16 (IANS) Entrepreneur Gauri Khan corrected her superstar husband Shah Rukh Khan after he got her age wrong about when she started working.
Shah Rukh and Gauri were speaking at the launch event of her coffee table book 'My Life in Design'.
SRK then spoke about about how his wife Gauri started her work on her own. He shared that even though he offered to her help her, she denied taking any.
Shah Rukh said: "It doesn't make a difference to all the youngsters, to all the people who miss out on a dream of their life to be creative. You can start at any age. I think Gauri started mid-40s."
Shah Rukh then looked at Gauri, who corrected him saying that she started working at the age of 40.
Flaunting his iconic smile, Shah Rukh then said: "40? Oh, only 40. She is 37 now. In our family, we age backwards. So yes, at 40 she started doing this at a time when I even told her, 'Listen, should I be helpful? I have some friends we can talk to them?' She said, 'No'."
"She started with a 10 feet by 20 feet shop in Lower Parel. She worked it all out on her own and continued doing what she does."
Set in 1930s, 'Qala' is about the tumultuous relationship between an aspiring singer and her domineering mother. The film stars Tripti Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee, and Babil Khan in his film debut.
During the live show on Roposo, when the 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' director was asked who can portray his part best in his biopic, he said: "I think Ranveer Singh. He is like a chameleon, and he will do his best."
A senior officer of the department confirmed this while requesting anonymity said that one of the three farmhouses belonged to singer Daler Mehndi and was built on about 1.5-acre land.
On November 23, Anupam Kher, lead actor in this movie, speaking about the 'The Kashmir files' had said that it helped people all over the world to be aware of the tragedy that happened to Kashmiri Pandits community in 1990s.
Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, who is known for the Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu starrer 'Pink' also talks about his film which is inspired by many incidents that he saw in his life. He is quite happy with the response the movie got at IFFI.
Varun Dhawan’s horror-comedy Bhediya is here. The beginning of December brings another unusual treat — An Action Hero, which features Ayushmann Khurrana for the first time in an action role, this is followed by massy entertainers like Cirkus and Ganapath featuring Ranveer Singh and Tiger Shroff respectively. With such an eclectic range of films, there is no doubt that 2022 is going to conclude on a good note.
