Malhotra, who shot for a commercial with superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his
better half, Gauri says "Its an honour to direct them together. Malhotra’s
effusive display of emotions is understandable — it’s no mean feat to bring the
King of Romance and his real- life romance together on screen.
As
a project for Dharma ; . : , a creative outfit which allows in- house directors
to work on ads, Malhotra took on the ambitious assignment of shooting the
couple.
How
is the real- life chemistry between BTown’s power couple? “ Dreamy, easy and
every bit beautiful — just what the world would imagine them to be. People have
never seen Shah Rukh sir and Gauri ma’am in this light,” the director says.
While
Khan is, needless to say, a natural in front of camera, the star wife refrains
from facing the arc lights.
Malhotra
reveals that Khan made sure that his wife was comfortable in front of the
camera. “ Before Gauri ma’am faced the camera, Shah Rukh sir would run her
through the shot.
During
her shots, he would sit somewhere close and give her cues. I wanted to capture
the chemistry of a husband and wife, who have been married for years. It’s
sweet how they know each other’s habits like the back of their hand.” Malhotra
agrees that convincing the star wife for the commercial wasn’t easy. It took
Gauri’s good friend Karan Johar to change her mind. “ She was apprehensive
initially, but barely took any time to warm up. Everyone on set was familiar
with her and that put her at ease.” The superstar and his wife send out a
strong message with this ad. “ We show the man of the house doing all the work.
We wanted to take the division of labour in a marriage to the next level.”
