Shah Rukh Khan felt Gauri would ‘die’ during labor with Aryan
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan once shed light on his horrific first experience of labor with wife Gauri Khan.
Speaking with Reddif in 1988, the actor revealed how he had thought Gauri would die in the process, considering her health.
“I’ve lost my parents in hospitals — so I don’t like being in hospitals. And Gauri is quite fragile — and I’ve never seen her fall really sick, or seen her unwell. When I saw her in the hospital, they had put in tubes and stuff. And she was becoming delirious and she was really cold. I went with her to the operation theatre for her Caesarean… And.. I thought she’d die. Didn’t even think about the kid at that point in time. It wasn’t important to me.”
The Zero star added: “She was shivering so much and I know logically that you don’t die while giving birth to babies… But still….I just got a little scared.”
Gauri eventually gave birth to son Aryan in 1997. The couple later welcomed daughter Suhana.
