And this was happening in real life! Gauri gave birth right before this movie, almost died, and only did it because Shahrukh wanted a baby more than she did. DANG Shahrukh! Feel guilty!

Didn’t know that part. That’s awful.

It wasn’t super awful in real life, couples always compramise, and obviously there was a reason their third child was carried by a surrogate, but for Karan to write it into the movie!!!!!
