Shahrukh Khan told the story

While talking to Farida Jalal, Shahrukh Khan says, ‘Finally which is our wedding hall. Our marriage lasted a little longer, so during this time I started questioning every small and big ritual and what was happening. What is happening so that people do not feel that they are making fun of another religion? Meaning, I should show some seriousness. So I will be a little serious. This was method acting. Those marriages are now shorter but I started asking them what would have happened if instead of 45 it had become one and a half to two hours.

Will that make him a Muslim…?

Shahrukh Khan further explains, ‘Then the same people started saying that please don’t take it serially, just let it happen. It had become very long. Finally I got married to him and everything was fine. I remember that at that time the family was old-fashioned and I respect them a lot. But everyone was sitting inside the old fashioned reception and when I reached there it was about 1.15 pm. So everyone there was gossiping that he was a Muslim boy. Will this girl change her name? Will that make him a Muslim?
