In the video now going viral on X, Gauri Khan’s uncle revealed, “Gauri is my niece, my elder sister’s daughter. I gave her one dog. It was a Chinese Pekingese dog. Shah Rukh also started loving the dog. He was very loving,” Gauri’s uncle said in the video. He added, “Shah Rukh was out shooting, and something happened to the dog, and it died in his absence. The boys working in the house wrapped the dog in a nice cloth and took it to the seashore. They dug a grave and buried it there.”
When SRK dug up the grave of his late dog at 2am
When SRK enquired, the househelp stated, “Woh toh chale gaye (he has gone)”. He asked, “Kahan rakha hai? (Where have you kept him?)”
They replied, “Sea ke paas, grave banaake.” Gauri’s uncle continued, “At 2:30 a.m., he woke up the boys and said, ‘Show me kidhar rakha hai.’ He dug up the grave, brought the dog back home, put him in the backyard, and marked the spot. He also cried. He said, ‘How dare you throw my dog like this? He has to be with us, whether dead or alive.'”
