Gauri Khan recently launched her coffee table book My Life In Design. Shah Rukh penned words for her in the foreword section of the book. Pages from the foreword have surfaced on Twitter as Shah Rukh recalled the time when he went to buy a sofa for the house and found it too expensive. This is how Gauri's interest in designing kickstarted as she bought the raw materials, made a sketch and instructed carpenters to make it as per her idea.
Shah Rukh wrote, “It all started when we bought our first home in Mumbai, Needless to say, it was beyond our means, but we needed a living space, because we were expecting Aaryan. So, the choice was made, that we would try and buy stuff for the house as and when we had the money. We could not afford a designer so the job was taken over by Gauri.”

This went on for some years, and as things started looking up for us, we went on to buy a bigger home, Mannat. The story was the same, that we had spent all our money on the property and had none left for the interiors. So again, by default, Gauri became our interior designer,” he further added.
