Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan had an interfaith marriage and they fell in love when Gauri was just in the 9th grade. Shah Rukh was in grade 12th that time. As they started liking each other so young, Gauri's brother Vikrant Chibber was very possessive about her and hence used to threaten SRK for looking at his sister. It was a warning to him to not cause harm to Gauri.
Shah Rukh had spoken about it once in an interview with Kapil Sharma and revealed that he used to also threaten him with a gun. "Wo apne aap ko school ka bada dada samjhte the. Wo jab milta tha gundagardi dikhate the. Mai unse tameez se milta tha. Ek baar usne mujhe bola tereko maloom hai katta kya hota hai? Maine kaha nahi ji mujhe nahi maloom katta kya hota hai, mujhe maloom tha.”
SRK revealed that he was always polite to him, considering he was Gauri's brother. Meanwhile, Gauri had revealed that her parents were initially against their interfaith wedding but later, they were convinced by Shah Rukh Khan. She had also changed his name to Abhinav during their dating phase so that they think he's a Hindu.
Gauri said, "We were so young and then to take a decision to get married and to a person who is going to join films, and being from a different religion. We changed his name to Abhinav so they feel he is a Hindu boy but that was really silly and very childish," she told Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla on their show First Ladies.
