Gauri Khan along with hubby Shah Rukh features as the guest on the Abu Jani show, The First Ladies, on NDTV Good Times tonight.
When asked about SRK being totally self-made, she says, "It's amazing and we thank God every day for whatever we have. But I think Shah Rukh is extremely hard working so he deserves every bit of it." 
On being the rock behind SRK she says, "Actually, that's not true because I was not too happy about him coming to Bombay.
I didn't even know when he became a star. It was very shocking for me firstly to be here and films and everything.
It was very difficult. And I actually did not want his films to do well. I thought if it flopped, we would back to Delhi.
Because you know when you are so young I got married when I was 21everything was so new that for me it was like everything should flop."
About their relationship she says, "He was the first person I met and went out with. And he has been the only man."
The star wife states, "I'll be fine with whatever he's happy with. I'd rather have him home with the kids spend more time at home."
When asked if it was true that Gauri and Shahrukh had to fight to be together.
She confirms, "Yes, my parents were obviously not for it because we were so young and then to take a decision to get married to a person who was going to join films and also from a different religion.
We even changed his name to Abhinav to make them feel he was a Hindu boy that was really silly and childish."
She adds, "It's been an amazing journey. When I came to Bombay it was very difficult. I enjoyed every bit of it but it was so new and life was very different.
But we went back very often to Delhi in the beginning. We stayed at Aziz Mirza's place for six months.
It was very sweet of him and then we rented an apartment and there was nothing. My mom came from Delhi and there was no bed, no sofa no chair, just a kitchen. She was shocked to see me like that."
Does she remember the date SRK bought her the first diamond, she says, "I bought it myself! I grabbed it actually. I'm quite a grabber. He doesn't have to gift me anything."
The couple loves watching the TV show Desperate Housewives. "He loves to watch Desperate Housewives with me," says Gauri.
Do they miss their simple times, SRK says, "No I don't miss them. People ask me this question very often but I don't miss going and having chaat in Gol Market, I've never wanted to eat pav bhaji on Chowpatty either.
I'm very happy being a star. I love what comes with it. I also appreciate the hard work I have to do for itu00a0 I really enjoy it."
