Farah
Khan,
the
host
of
the
Television
chat
show
Tere
Mere
Beech
Mein
put
her
best
friend
Shahrukh
Khan
in
a
fix
when
she
asked
him
whether
his
darling
wife
Gauri
ever
cooked
for
him,
as
is
normally
the
Indian
tradition,
SRK
had
to
blurt
the
truth,
"When
Gauri
and
I
were
newly
married,
my
mother-in-law
was
very
disturbed
and
hassled.
Punjabi
hain
meri
mother
in
law
..." and
she
told
'Agar
tenu
khaana
naahi
pakaana
aauga
(if
you
won"t
know
cooking)..
The
way
to
man"s
heart
is
through
his
stomach..
aur
agar
accha
khaana
nahi
khilaaogi
toh
tenu
chaad
de
ga..(if
you
won"t
cook
good
food
for
him
then
he
will
leave
you!"."
Shahrukh
was
at
his
best
in
saying,
“She
came
to
Mumbai
and
enrolled
Gauri
in
a
cooking
class.
In
two
days,
it
was
good
that
she
came
and
then
she
went
back.
I
am
just
joking!
The
next
time
she
came,
she
asked
me
how
I
liked
Gauri's
cooking
&
praised
Gauri
a
lot.
Then
I
learnt
that
after
my
mother
in
law
returned,
Gauri
enrolled
the
maids
for
the
cooking
class
and
never
went
for
it
herself."
Shahrukh
did
not
mince
words
in
revealing
Gauri"s
special
manner
of
dealing
with
gifts,
"Normally
all
the
gifts
I've
given
Gauri
in
the
last
24
years,
she
always
accepts
it
and
gives
me
a
casual
hug
in
front
of
all
thanking
me
and
99.9%
of
the
time,
she
returns
the
gift
and
takes
something
else
in
its
place.." So
when
Farah
asked
what
gifts
he
got
from
Gauri,
a
thoughtful
Shahrukh
replied
wonderfully.
"Gauri
has
not
given
me
a
single
gift...
Unka
excuse
hai
aur
bolne
kaa
tareeka
hai,
"what
can
I
give
a
man
who
has
everything
including
me?
I
was
in
London
after
my
spine
injury
and
I
bought
some
oversized
T-shirts.
I
couldn't
wear
them
and
then
I
asked
Gauri
to
retun
those
and
get
something
else.
Gauri
said
that
in
London
we
can't
exchange
them.
Later
my
friends
said
that
Gauri
had
exchanged
the
T-shirts
and
got
a
hand-bag
for
herself
saying
that
I
was
in
hospital
and
what
would
I
do
with
the
new
T-shirts,
instead
a
handbag
will
be
more
useful."
