Originally named Gauri Chhibber, Gauri Khan is somewhat of a prima donna of star wives in India. The prominent film producer and interior designer is known as the queen of Mannat and sure has a long list of accolades to match her big personality. While we are well aware of Gauri Khan having produced several of Shah Rukh Khan's films, did you know she once dabbled in costume design too? Back in 2019, Gauri Khan made a surprise revelation that she was indeed responsible for designing Shah Rukh's iconic look in the song Ye Kaali Kaali Aankhen from the classic film Baazigar.
Sharing the images on her personal social media handle, she reminisced how far her designs have come since then. "Can’t believe I designed this look in the 90s 😁 ..
. Those jeans, #legwarmer tee, bullet belt and a red shirt thrown over. The hand painted jeans were my favourite.
#Gaurikhandesigns has come a long way! Major throwback.. @iamsrk @kajol," she wrote.
Check out SRK's look that is still very much talked about even now: Reflecting on her experiences, Gauri mentioned in an interview that she had designed outfits for SRK in six films but humorously described her work as a “disaster.” She fondly recalled the fun she had while creating his looks, particularly in her twenties, until filmmaker Karan Johar entered their lives. Gauri shared that Karan had questioned her design choices for Shah Rukh, which made her reconsider her work and finally prompted her to pass the baton to Karan for future proje.
