“We give marriage too much importance; we're trying too hard. Things that are done with ease, acceptance and love will always be successful. The best thing we do is wake up in the morning and have a cup of tea and family time. I can't understand the importance given to Gauri Khan and my marriage — if you can keep a marriage ordinary, that's what makes it special,” Shah Rukh was quoted as saying by Vogue India in 2018.

In the same report, Gauri was quoted as saying that she liked to keep her love for Shah Rukh ‘private and inside the doors of Mannat’, their Mumbai home. Gauri had told Vogue India, “He is the best husband and father I could ever ask for. I always say that I am so fortunate to be with Shah Rukh Khan, the man. I don't come from a space where I gush and praise—the world is doing enough of that. I like to keep my love for him private and inside the doors of Mannat.”

Six years after their wedding, Gauri and Shah Rukh welcomed their first son, Aryan Khan, on November 13. Since then, the couple has welcomed two more children – their daughter Suhana Khan was born on May 22, 2000, while their youngest, son AbRam Khan, was born on May 27, 2013, via surrogacy.
