Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has humorously revealed that his wife, Gauri Khan, makes almost all household decisions at their Mumbai residence, Mannat.

The actor shared the remarks during an event in Dubai. Filmmaker Karan Johar asked him about things he was not allowed to do at home.

Shah Rukh responded that he had little say in almost every household matter. He jokingly listed Wi-Fi, food, colours, paintings, furniture and lighting among the decisions he could not make.

He also mentioned the staircase, elevator, terrace and chandeliers. The actor humorously suggested that even these arrangements were outside his authority.
