SRK, who was there to promote his upcoming movie Fan, shared a very funny and sweet memory from the time he was dating wife Gauri.
According to a MissMalini report, King Khan said, "Unlike today where we have mobile phones, earlier during our times there were only landline telephones. So whenever I wanted to talk to Gauri, I used to speak in a girl’s voice as her brother Vikrant used to pick the phone. I used to say, ‘Hello, can I please speak to Gauri’ in a girl’s voice and he used to think that I’m her female friend. Even till today he (Vikrant) doesn’t know that it was me who used to call every time. But after watching this episode he will get to know that."
The biggest moment of the night was when Grover changed his appearance on stage and appeared as Gaurav, SRK's character from Fan. He started dancing on the song 'Jabra Fan' and was joined enthusiastically by Khan as well as the audience.
