Aamir Khan is celebrating his 60th birthday on Friday, and in a press meet held a day before his birthday, the actor opened up about his girlfriend Gauri Spratt. He requested photographers to not take pictures as the two shared an informal interaction with the media. Aamir shared that he first met Gauri 25 years ago, and reconnected with her through his cousin, Nuzhat Khan. The two started dating over a year ago.
“Bhuvan ko uski Gauri mil hi gayi (Bhuvan finally met his Gauri),” Aamir joked at the press meet, making a reference to his film Lagaan. The actor shared that Gauri isn’t a huge fan of Hindi films, and just recently watched three of his movies – Dil Chahta Hai, Lagaan and Dangal. Aamir added that he is keen for her to watch Taare Zameen Par as it was his directorial debut. Currently, Gauri is working with Aamir Khan Productions.
Gauri lives in Bengaluru and was married previously. She has a six-year-old son and is part-Irish, part-Tamil. Aamir and Gauri described themselves as “committed,” and Aamir laughed about successfully keeping their relationship a secret for over a year. “Dekha kuch bhi pata nahi chalne diya maine tum logo ko (See, I did not let you get a wind of this),” he said.
He shared during the press meet that his family members are very happy for them, and his children get along with Gauri, and are fond of her. He also revealed that Gauri has met his friends and contemporaries Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan as well. “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,” he said.
But, when asked about the question of getting married again, Aamir said he feels “settled” with Gauri. “I don’t know… at the age of 60, mujhe shaadi shobha deti hai ki nahi (if it appears alright to get married),” he shared.
Aamir has been married twice before. He first married Reena Dutta in 1986 and the two were married until 2002. They share two children – Ira and Junaid. He then married Kiran Rao in 2005; they split up in 2021. They share a son – Azad. Talking about his ex-wives, Aamir said he feels “fortunate” to have great relationships with them, and added, “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.”
Aamir is now looking forward to the release of Sitaare Zameen Par.
