Ever since she started her “own business”, this lady has been a regular in blind items. No, this is not a good thing! But, at least the one for today is better than the previous one about her business!
So, Mumbai Mirror seems to know that this lady is outsourcing her projects to another firm. Is it a firm or China? Jokes aside, why is she is doing that? Are the projects too many that she cannot cope or she knows her work is not that good enough?
You won’t believe it, but most of her customers sign up with her because they want to tell people that the wife of this superstar is the one who designed their office or home.
Basically, these star wives call themselves home or interior designers, but what they do is they buy stuffs from outside and sell it in their stores. They have the luxury of travelling so they think it’s a good business to bring back something that cannot be found in India.
There was this businessman, who paid quite a high sum to have her do his home only to find out later that the materials were of weak quality and they were starting to rip or shred by themselves after a couple of months.
That is also another great business: buy cheap products and market it as expensive ones. You know that’s what some online sellers do? They go to China and find the cheapest products and then repackage the whole thing as an expensive and high class product.
Guess, this is why the wife has been by her husband’s side since last year. She now needs him for her status as much as he needs her to enhance his family image. Can you believe Forbes magazine named them the Power Couple? It makes one wonder why she didn’t set out on her own years ago. Among all the star wives, she started out quite late. Maybe she was busy with the kids and all that, but it would have been good for her because then she would have something to concentrate on instead of dabbling in things she shouldn’t. She also moved on so fast with her business. She started out in a joint collaboration with her buddy, an ex-star wife, then went on to launch more stores. Now whether or not these stores are selling out, that’s another thing. But she does business and takes up orders in the capital as well.
So far, her designs have looked quirky. It’s not something that we personally like, but maybe the people that she designs for like them. Now we are wondering whether they dare to tell her they don’t like it, especially those film actors who hired her. How does that work?
Anyways, check out the blind item from Mumbai Mirror.
Bollywood Blind Item
SEVERAL wives of famous actors seek out professions of their own. While some take up jewellery design, yet others turn to home décor and interiors. One such lovely lady has been getting a lot of big assignments lately. But we hear that most of her work is barely done by her. Instead, it is outsourced to another firm. Stealing credit or giving jobs to others? Your guess is as good as ours.
OSOP Guess
Star Wife: Gauri Khan
Y’all have got to be joking. Regardless of BO performance you had better believe that SRK has FOX, Paramount and Amazon and the like on speed dial. He has been incredibly smart about his business and Red Chillies is booming. 5000 crores is merely his declared wealth,,that’ll get him access to any circle he wants. I understand that it is the season to hate on SRK and Gauri but let’s be real. Even if all his films flop, he will never be in that bankruptcy stage that Rajesh Khanna and Big B came to
A few flops don’t mean anything. SRK has his finger in the pie of almost every film being made in India, not just Bollywood. His power has risen exponentially in the last 10 years. People have no clue how huge Red Chillies is. There were lots of talks of them going public and being listed on the stock exchange but SRK has wanted to keep it private until the right time.
Rohit Shetty talked in interviews about how all the technical work for Simba was done at RCE too. Big upcoming South movies like Vikram’s next are doing all their VFX there too.
It’s natural for any big business to have the main person only doing the supervising and conceptualizing. There would be teams of designers and other workers to take care of individual projects. Gauri has tie-ups with big builders and international designers too. They can easily expand into the home and furniture market in the future outside of movies and sports which they are already in. They have found a new business segment to enter and it’s something that wouldn’t have worked without Gauri as the central face.
It makes me laugh that people bring PC into this. Gauri’s business is making more money than PC’s dying career and it is the type of thing that is not restricted by age. PC is totally irrelevant anyway.
As for Suhana, she has been working with Gurinder Chadha in London while she goes to school there. She will soon be doing the dual degree program at NYU with Stern/Tisch in acting and business. Stern’s official twitter account has even retweeted comments about Suhana.
SRK has plenty of connections and does not need anyone in BW to do anything for his kids. Gauri also has no need to promote her when she is not going to be acting anytime soon.
Srk personal wealth is set for 7 generations, with 5 very expensive real estates! His movies that he makes in BW, the money from the movies and AD’s and events, he puts back in making another films! BW critics needs to do less poltics aganist SRK movies! The man,creates jobs for many in BW, plus bring new technology to BW ! His film zero was a international hit film! People that travel knows how famous srk is internationally! Plus, he has very big role,putting BW on international plateform! Srk had given BW gereat classic films, RS and RK careers in their 30’s will not have that status! The world is changing in technologies,the stardom will be different in next 10yrs!
yes SRK is the last superstar of that level (Amitabh, Rajesh Khanna) etc. who lasted over 2 decades. The way technology is changing none of the new guys will ever reach that stature. Ranveer Singh looks promising but it is very hard to say at the moment if he will ever gain that level of success. Maybe 10 years from now we will know because SRK ruled the box office for 2 decades. that is a very very long time of domination in a business that is so fickle.
Completely agree. I am not against the new gen stars like Ranveer and Ranbir but they wont attain such level of super stardom as the Khans or AB. Due to such social media influence, people today are very fickle minded and keep changing their loyalty or affection on short term basis. Thats why you see some things get popular and they die out after a while. That wink girl. So all these people cash on short term basis and make the most hay out of it as the sun shines. Thats the reason you wont see a crazy long term superstardom as earlier.
PS. Though Ranbir was good in Sanju but strange that all the stars on KWK always keep naming him and Alia as the thing. Dont know if they are told and KJ gets surprised when they say lol.
Even Vijay Mallya has tons of money then y he is bankrupt now , the reason is flashy lifestyle the same as SRK who by the way has already sleeped to 13th position in latest Forbes list, ads comes to you only if your movie is hit otherwise nothing , yes you can sell legacy but how many times if your movie is not good it will always will be downward ,alreadydown from 40 plus to 15 crore opening and no critics can do anything just don’t blame them and by the way Zero was a massive flop internationally also as far as RS is concerned only time will tell but he has to be humble otherwise will get big dumble
@Rami SRK’s wealth is set for 7 generations for according to common ppl standards. The white elephant Mannat is not easy to run . His family’s mega lifestyle to maintain for next to generations SRK has to avoid any kind of bankrupcy , stay away from controversies etc etc . A lot of billionaires have lost the plot.
Maintaining wealth and social standing is harder than attaining them.
Yes, stardom has changed , even stars have changed . Gone are the days when ppl used to worship stars. Now ppl know all the dirt there is in filmworld , even normal ppl travel to foreign countries and most importantly people are now aware.
Amitabh, SRK ,Rajesh khanna had that adulation simple bcoz it was different times. Ranveer and Ranbir
or other young stars have adjusted their expectations and strategies according to current times.
Agree. SRK would hate the fact that plenty of movers and shakers would not be returning his calls now
I don’t think there is anything wrong in that. She is lending her name. You can’t really expect to pick and buy all the stuffs on her own. I am sure the clients are also happy with the brand name which they can proudly flaunt.
Yup, people ranting away in comments and forums over Gauri, Suzanne and other star wives making easy money makes me laugh. The people spending money and giving expensive contracts to such starwives know these things much better than us commenters,
These are multi Millionaries, they just want the status symbol and like to brag about Khans, Roshans etc designing their stuff and they pay for that privilege.
You know I have heard this myth that these multimillionaires sometimes run out of things to buy, how much true is that?
It is well known fact that gauri doesn’t design much and has hired interior designers and architects who work for her. She herself told in an interview that she provides platform for others to sell their furniture. Her job is to get big clients and leave the job to her team. She is just one of those middle men taking commissions for getting clients. Gauri has been promoting her store more rigorously to make a point to PC. She doesn’t want to be told that she is just a star wife. She is partying less with her gal pals and more with future clients. Also Srk’s career is going down hill and she needs to get her children’s career launched before SRK reaches bottom pit. That’s why she is actively promoting suhana…
I can only laugh at people worrying about SRK or his children, the guy is worth INR 5000 crores, even if SRK stops working today his next generations will still lead a life of ultra luxury.
It’s not about money but their status in bw they care about.
@fact Money is one thing but limelight is addictive. Once u have it its not easy to let go. If u and ur family want front row seats to all award functions…red carpet welcomes. Want to hobnob with CEO of fox studios , have world leaders on speed dial to get u out of tricky situations…u need to stay in the minds of people always . No one cares how much wealth u have to buy wat u want….which a lot of non famous wealthy ppl already do and have.
