While she started out as a homemaker, and someone who lives completely in her superstar husband's shadow, in the recent years, Gauri has come into her own.
She took over as one of the key producers of Red Chillies Entertainment, and she gives the venture as much time as any business woman would.
Gauri's status as a celebrity of her own standing was first acknowledged by
Vogue magazine when they put her on their cover, not as SRK's wife, but as an emerging presence in Bollywood.
This move in Gauri's life is significant, because she has children, who she mainly looks after.
