In his illustrious three-decade-long Bollywood career, Shah Rukh Khan has largely remained untouched by controversies, particularly those surrounding extramarital affairs. While there was a solitary instance of speculation regarding a relationship with Priyanka Chopra, his longtime friend and director-producer Vivek Vaswani vehemently dismisses these rumors.
During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Vaswani was asked about the nature of his relationship with Shah Rukh during their struggling days when they shared a living space. Clarifying, Vaswani emphasized that it was a friendship devoid of any romantic involvement. He firmly denied any sexual relationship, stating that amidst the pressures of career, marriage to Gauri, and the challenges of those early days, such notions were baseless.
Addressing rumors around Shah Rukh and himself, Vaswani attributed them to the nature of stardom, asserting that as one rises in fame, unfounded speculations become commonplace. He also commented on rumors surrounding Shah Rukh and filmmaker Karan Johar, dismissing them as untrue.
Vaswani set the record straight about Shah Rukh Khan’s personal life, affirming that the actor has been a devoted ‘one-woman man’ throughout his life, expressing love solely for his wife, Gauri. He challenged the scarcity of rumors surrounding Shah Rukh’s personal life, highlighting the lone instance involving Priyanka Chopra as nothing more than speculation.
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri tied the knot in 1991, overcoming initial challenges related to their different faiths. Vaswani concluded by emphasizing the enduring nature of Shah Rukh’s commitment to Gauri, debunking any notions of infidelity or flings in the actor’s personal life.
