Not only Shahrukh but his wife Gauri also had to change her name at the time of marriage as per Muslim rituals. Gauri changed her name to Ayesha.
The family opposed the marriage of Shahrukh and Gauri
Speaking on the First Ladies Show, Gauri said, “We were very young. I decided to marry a man who was going to join films and was from a different religion.” Gauri told that she named Shahrukh as Abhinav so that the parents would think that he is a Hindu.

Shahrukh Khan had lost his heart on seeing Gauri. Both married each other on 25 October 1991. Very few people know that Shah Rukh Khan first met Gauri in 1984, when he was only 18 years old and Gauri was only 14 years old.
