My designs are free-flowing in their approach, and I want to create an ambience of warmth and tranquility.

Dining should be a delightful and a beautiful experience.

Time for creative ideation and quiet reflection is as much a luxury as is the physical beauty of the space you live in.

My design preference tends towards warmth, comfort, and minimalism.

When your heart is in the right place and you give your best, nothing can go wrong.

I'm sure I will reach a position in my life where people will understand it's not about being Mrs. Shah Rukh Khan but about the work I do.

The thought of buying a gift and wrapping is too much of an effort for me.

I have a passion for design. Be it a line of clothes or taking a gut decision with unique pieces of furniture, one should always be willing to experiment.

I was an arts student. I did graphic design. Being an artist, I did a lot of paintings. I have always had that creative side to me.

Personally, one of the greatest sources of inspiration for my work has been architecture. I've had the chance to see so many exquisite structures, whether they are historical monuments or modern commercial premises.

Shah Rukh is very romantic in real life, too.

Gauri Khan Designs has bespoke furniture for your living room - and the outdoors, too!

I think it's important to keep moving forward so that the soul can grow.

Shah Rukh has definitely been my inspiration. He is extremely focused in his work and is extremely ambitious.

I feel that I am leading a very normal life, where I am just another working woman like anyone else.

I have a stronger personality than Shah Rukh. He is an entity on his own, and I don't consider him a superstar when I'm with him in the house. He's just my husband, and I respect him as that.

Every home, office, club, yacht, landscape, or piece of furniture I may design will be different from the other. What will be consistent, however, is my own personal sense of style through it all.

It was a wonderful experience to design the Pride of Cows limited-edition bottle.

Our home in Dubai is a beach house, so it's more casual and not formal in its tone. It's a holiday home. We are mostly in the pool or on the beach or in the sun. It's an outdoor place for the family. So there are mudbikes, a boat, football posts, and the pool is heated.

Styles are so fluid, forever changing, that as a designer, you have to keep learning and keep growing your tastes, along with catering to the needs of your client.

You may not always be as successful as you want to be, but you have to stay goal-oriented. Put in all your efforts, and you will see the results.

I never considered interior design as a career option. I had designed a couple of our homes, and people liked my work. Friends came forward and asked me to help them do up their homes, and that's how it started.

My signature line of clothing for Satya Paul will showcase a distinctive aspect of my own personal style.

All I need is to wake up in the morning, go to the gym, feel healthy, get to work, be creative, come back home to the kids.

I have been constantly working on the interiors of my homes in Delhi, Goa, Dubai, Mumbai, and the Red Chillies Building. I had been designing homes, too. Having a background in art, graphic design, and charcoal helped me in my work immensely.

I prefer single statement pieces like solitaire earrings and a elegant ring.

I have to be comfortable with what I wear. I don't care if I don't look that great. Comfort is most important to me.

Inspiration is around you. Like, when I travel any country, be it Paris or London, while walking on the streets, the architecture, the restaurants all inspire me. Inspiration for design could be anywhere.

When you are passionate about something, you don't need external motivation to work towards achieving it.

I would tell all women entrepreneurs to stay focussed and positive. One just needs to keep moving without looking back.

My love for interior designing has always been there.

I don't come from a space where I gush and praise - the world is doing enough of that.

I was never obsessed with fashion. I go for whatever looks good.

When I avoided interviews, it was mainly because I didn't want to speak only about my personal life.

Shah Rukh himself, if he wasn't an actor, would probably have liked to become an architect or interior designer. He's totally into buying property, building, and decorating.

Interior design wasn't something I rushed into.

For me, it's all about balancing your priorities.

I would have been an artist, because I studied art and history in school and college.

Starting from scratch and seeing the smile on a client's face when it all comes together in the end - it's a lovely feeling.

I used to paint.

Although we are busy with our own work, we still try and spend time together. At the same time, we give each other space. I think that is the key to a successful marriage.

I'm comfortable in my own skin and surroundings. I don't think I get overshadowed by my husband or his personality.

I got married very young, and children followed soon after.

I've tried my hand at everything... trying to whittle down the right profession for myself. I tried my hand at clothes, I've modelled, but nothing really worked for me. I didn't really enjoy it, and maybe I was not really good enough.

I must admit that I was always scared to venture out on my own because I have an issue of getting bored of things. My attention span is very short. I like to start and give up halfway.

Everyone doesn't necessarily have to be a career woman.

I don't look back on anything; I'm always looking forward.

I think I have got comfort, beautiful kids; I can do whatever I want, travel around the world... I know it's sounding very materialistic, but it's been a comfortable life.

Design is a very personal thing. It's like art. Your personal choice plays a big role.

My design philosophy has always been eclectic.
