Aamir Khan recently stunned his fans by introducing his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, to the media during a pre-birthday meet-and-greet event in Mumbai on March 13. The actor revealed that he has known Gauri for 25 years, and the couple has been in a relationship for the past 18 months.
Since Gauri’s name surfaced in the media, people have been curious to learn more about her. Hailing from Bengaluru, Gauri has spent most of her life in the city. She is the daughter of Rita Spratt, who previously ran a salon in Bengaluru.
According to Gauri’s LinkedIn profile, she attended Blue Mountain School and completed a fashion course, FDA Styling & Photography, at the University of the Arts, London, in 2004. Currently, Gauri manages a BBlunt salon in Mumbai and has a six-year-old child, as per reports. Additionally, she is now working with Aamir Khan’s production house.
Before publicly acknowledging his relationship, Aamir Khan had kept his romance private. He joked with the media at the press conference, saying, “Dekha kuch bhi pata nahi chalne diya maine tum logo ko (See, I didn’t let you guys catch on to anything).”
Aamir also shared an interesting detail about their relationship, explaining, “For one, she lived in Bangalore, or rather, lived there until recently. So, I used to fly down to meet her, and the media attention was relatively less there. This helped us stay under the radar.”
The actor also revealed that Gauri had already met his children, family, and long-time friends, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. On March 12, both Salman and Shah Rukh visited Aamir’s home to meet Gauri.
Reflecting on how he managed to keep his love life out of the public eye for so long, Aamir Khan quipped, “Mere ghar pe focus thoda kam hai. Aap log miss kar dete ho (The focus isn’t as much on my home. You guys miss things).”
Aamir Khan is celebrating his 60th birthday today, and he mentioned that he had planned a family dinner for the occasion, where Gauri Spratt will be joining him.
