While Shah Rukh used a Hindu name, Gauri took the Muslim name “Ayesha” for their wedding.

In retrospect, he admits that the couple’s attempts to reassure his family now seem immature.“We were very young and then decided to marry someone who was in films, and from a different religion. We changed his name to Abhinav so they felt he was a Hindu man but that was really stupid and very childish.”Over the years, Shah Rukh and Gauri have often spoken about respecting each other’s beliefs and making sure that their children—————————-)Speaking to Outlook Turning Points in 2013, Shah Rukh explained how he answers questions about religion at home. “This also keeps my two children completely confused. Sometimes, they ask me what religion they belong to and, like a good Hindi film hero, I roll my eyes to the sky and declare philosophically, ‘You are an Indian first and your religion is the people’, or sing them an old Hindi film ditty, ‘Tu Hindu banega na Musalmaan banega – insaan ki aulaad hai insaan Style banega’ set in Gangnam Style.“Sharing how festivals are celebrated at their home, Gauri said, “When it’s Diwali, I lead the pooja and the family follows and on Eid, Shah Rukh leads, and we follow. I think it’s all very beautiful and the kids accept. In fact, my kids are more into whatever Shah Rukh says. For them Diwali, Eid, everything is amazing.”
