Gauri Khan has just bagged her first brand endorsement. Wife of advertisement-regular Shah Rukh Khan, she will be seen in commercials for a premium brand of paint.
Gauri, who has always maintained a low profile, is known for designing costumes for Shah Rukh in his early films including Baazigar (1993). Later she went on to become a producer with Main Hoon Na (2004) and Om Shanti Om (2007). Our source informs, "Gauri is gradually coming out of her homemaker mode. She has been successfully producing films and now she will endorse a paint brand."
She has been approached for acting assignments and advertisement commercials before too. Our source adds, "We have always encouraged Gauri to take it up. But somehow, things didn't work out until now. Finally, she has given her assent. In fact, she flew in from Dubai last night, so that the contract could be signed today."
The story goes that close friend and filmmaker Karan Johar, who endorses the same brand, recommended her name. Gauri was taken aback when she was approached, and gave her assent after she consulted Karan and Kareena Kapoor. Rajat Johri, from the paint company, adds, "Karan (Johar) suggested her name during one of our meetings. It didn't take us much time to convince her as Kareena and Karan also convinced her."
Karan Johar says, I would not like to speak on behalf of Gauri.Gauri has also faced the camera for the first time in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om that releases on November 9.
