Writing A resurfaced interview of Gauri Khan has reignited debate across social media after her remarks about son Aryan Khan's religious identity went viral. In the old interview, Gauri said Aryan closely identified with his father, Shah Rukh Khan, and often declared, "I am a Muslim." She also clarified that she never converted after marrying Shah Rukh Khan, emphasizing that their family has always respected both Hindu and Muslim traditions.

According to Gauri, their children were raised in an environment where both religions were equally honoured, with no disrespect shown towards either faith. Her comments have once again sparked discussions on interfaith marriages, personal belief and religious harmony.

Married since 1991, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are parents to Aryan, Suhana and AbRam. The resurfaced interview has drawn widespread reactions online, with many revisiting the couple's long-standing views on faith and family.
