This photo was said to be at Mecca and it was being rumoured that Shah Rukh along with his family, brought in the New Year at Mecca. The internet was also abuzz with the fact that after 33 years of their marriage, Gauri has now converted to Islam . In this photo, Gauri can be seen wearing a hijaab while SRK and Aryan are in white kurtas.

However, here's some fact check. There is no truth to this photo and according to NDTV, it has been generate via AI (Artificial Intelligence). Hence, there is no truth to the rumours that Gauri has converted to Islam.

For those not in the know, Shah Rukh and Gauri got married in 1991, and their was an interfaith marriage. With Gauri being a Hindu, her family had not accepted the marriage for a long time but they finally did and their love triumphed. Earlier, in an episode of 'Koffee With Karan', Gauri had opened up about how she and SRK have respected each other's religion, while following their own.

She had said that she wouldn't convert to Islam though, she respects his religion. Gauri had told Karan Johar, "There is a balance. I respect Shah Rukh’s religion, but that doesn’t mean I would convert and become a Muslim. I don’t believe in that. Everyone is an individual and follows their religion. Of course, there should be mutual respect. Shah Rukh would never disrespect my religion, and I wouldn’t disrespect his."
