The Gauri Khan Interview: It’s an absolute scoop coup as the InImItable Karan Johar manages to get the gorgeous Gauri Khan on the couch for a tell-It-lIKeIt-Is tête-àtête for HT Brunch!

Karan Johar
Design. Redesign. Reinvent.

The woman sitting across from me wears her celebrity lightly. She’s open and friendly and perhaps the warmest person I know. And yet, many in the film fraternity harbour the misconception that she is distant, even snooty. And as I meet the pretty Gauri Khan at my new office in Andheri, Mumbai, I realise to my horror that I had made the same mistake when I first met her.

Flashback to 1994, when we were shooting Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in Switzerland. Gauri was there with a friend, and Shah Rukh (Khan) introduced us. I thought both she and her friend were very aloof. Then, just because I could speak French, Shah Rukh appointed me as the person to take them around for a day in Rougemont in the French part of Switzerland. Gauri obviously didn’t believe that somebody from a Hindi film crew was cool enough to speak French, and kind of sniggered at the idea. But things got a bit better once we bought the train tickets and I was able to manoeuvre them through that day. We landed up getting along really well and by the end, I was quite a favourite of hers. In fact, we grew to becoming really close on that trip.
