Haha, so Neelam ji was the ultimate wingman without even knowing it! SRK and Gauri's love story is truly the stuff of legends. Makes me want to go rewatch some of her old classics with Govinda now.

Respectfully, while this is a cute anecdote, it feels a bit like a promotional plug for her upcoming show appearances. The real credit for SRK and Gauri's marriage goes to their own commitment through thick and thin.

Bas, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost! 😄 Jokes aside, this is a heartwarming tidbit. Neelam-Govinda jodi was iconic, and now we know it played a role in creating an even bigger icon. Full circle moment!
