Reflecting on her early career, Gauahar remembered hosting a show where Shah Rukh was also present during the shoot of Fauji 2. It was backstage, she said, that she experienced the legendary actor's humility firsthand.
"We didn't have any contact with Fauji. But yes, when Fauji 2 was releasing, the first kit was sent to Shah Rukh sir. But during Fauji's shoot, I actually had the privilege to host a show where he was. And the respect he gave me backstage, the way he talked to me on stage, and the way he talks to his friends-that is his greatness. And it is because of such small things that he is such a big superstar. Because he touches the hearts of people," she shared.

"And today I am saying this because I will remember it for the rest of my life. Whenever I meet him, even after so many years, he meets me with so much love. For me, it is enough that in Fauji 1, there was Shah Rukh Khan, and in Fauji 2, there was Gauhar Khan.
I will tell this to my children all my life. And by adding this legacy to them, I am very happy and grateful to Allah."
