Gauri Khan, interior designer and wife of actor Shah Rukh Khan, had once said that the term ‘star wife’ drove her 'nuts'. In an old interview with filmmaker Karan Johar for Hindustan Times, he had asked her about being a ‘star wife’. Calling it strange, Gauri added that she wants people to treat her as 'a normal human being'. Speaking about her work she said that when she designed a space, she wanted people to feel it was the best they have seen.

Speaking with Karan for Hindustan Times, Gauri Khan had said, “The term just drives me nuts. It sounds very strange to me. If only people can treat me as a normal human being, take me as a woman of today instead of tagging me as a star wife. I’m not pitching myself with anybody and nor am I overly ambitious. All I need is to wake up in the morning, go to the gym, feel healthy, get to work, be creative, come back home to the kids."

She had also added, "I want to do very good work. I may not become a world-renowned designer as I haven’t started in my 20s. But it’s never too late to do anything in life and when I design a space, I want it to be the best home or office they’ve seen. When people walk into my new store, they have to say it’s the best store they’ve seen. Whatever I touch has to turn to gold or look good. I have a goal, something to look forward to. It’s fulfilling and I feel like a complete woman today.”

Gauri often travels with her friends. Recently, she met fashion designer Manish Malhotra and actor-turned-author Twinkle Khanna in London. Earlier, Gauri travelled for a vacation to Rome and posted pictures with Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan. Before that, she went on a trip to Milan.
