A wife can help balance the scales of emotion but she cannot fill the void of a mother: fortunatly for Shahrukh, Gauri has been a part of his life for the last 15 to 16 years. 'She is a part of me. Or rather; I'm like her appendage. I don't want to demean or raise her by status by calling her my mother or comparing her. Gauri is a completely different person. At times, mcuh more than what my mother would have been. Gauri is much beyond. Like there's a little world around me and there's a galaxy. All that is encompassed by Gauri, including my mom and her star. Everything.' - Shahrukh
