On proposing to his wife, Gauri: ( Thinks ) I don't really quite remember actually. We had known each other for like eight years. So it was sort of understood that we'd marry. Umm... I just remember telling her I love you. I didn't even date her like you normally do -- she's the only girl I've ever really known. To be quite honest. I remember I just dropped her to her house and just told her ( that he wanted to marry her ). ( Laughs ) Didn't wait for her response -- just drove off. - Shah Rukh
