Aamir Khan is celebrating his 60th birthday this Friday, and in a press meet held a day prior, the actor took the opportunity to share details about his relationship with his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt. During the casual interaction with the media, Aamir requested the photographers to refrain from clicking pictures, allowing for a more relaxed exchange.
Aamir revealed that he first met Gauri 25 years ago and later reconnected with her through his cousin, Nuzhat Khan. After reconnecting, the two began dating over a year ago. In a light-hearted moment, Aamir joked, “Bhuvan ko uski Gauri mil hi gayi,” referencing his iconic character from the film Lagaan.
Interestingly, Gauri isn’t much of a Bollywood enthusiast. She only recently watched a few of Aamir’s films, including Dil Chahta Hai, Lagaan, and Dangal. The actor expressed his excitement for her to eventually watch Taare Zameen Par, his directorial debut. At present, Gauri is working with Aamir Khan Productions.
Gauri, who resides in Bengaluru, has a six-year-old son and has previously been married. She has a diverse background, being part Irish and part Tamil. Both Aamir and Gauri described their relationship as committed, and the actor couldn’t help but laugh when reflecting on how they managed to keep their relationship under wraps for more than a year. “Dekha kuch bhi pata nahi chalne diya maine tum logo ko,” Aamir said, humorously acknowledging their successful secrecy.
During a recent press meet, Aamir Khan shared that his family is very happy about his relationship with Gauri Spratt, and his children have developed a close bond with her. He also mentioned that Gauri has met his long-time friends, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Aamir added, “I thought it would be a nice occasion for you all to meet her, besides we won’t have to keep hiding. She met Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan last night.”
When asked about the possibility of marrying Gauri, Aamir replied that he feels “settled” with her. He joked, “I don’t know… at the age of 60, mujhe shaadi shobha deti hai ki nahi (if it feels right to get married).”
Aamir has been married twice before. His first marriage was with Reena Dutta in 1986, and they remained together until 2002, having two children – Ira and Junaid. He then married Kiran Rao in 2005, but they separated in 2021, and they share a son, Azad. Reflecting on his past marriages, Aamir expressed feeling “fortunate” to have maintained strong relationships with both ex-wives. He said, “I’ve been fortunate to be in a strong relationship. Like, Reena and I spent 16 years together, and then Kiran and I spent 16 years together, and in many ways we are still together. I’ve learnt so much, and it’s been very enriching. With Gauri, I feel settled.”
