Aamir Khan says he met girlfriend Gauri Spratt ‘by mistake’, calls ex-wives Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao his forever family: ‘Thought I didn’t need a partner’

Sharing how he met Gauri, Aamir Khan said, “Gauri and I met by mistake and we connected and we became friends, and love happened. I thought I have my mother, kids, siblings – I have so many close relationships that I don’t need a partner. Kiran, Reena and I still work together for the Paani Foundation, and we sit and talk everyday and there is a genuine love and warmth between us as a family and we will always be family. We might not be husband and wife but we will always be family. They will always be an unshaken part of my family and life.”

The Dangal actor also spoke about his bond with ex-wife Kiran Rao and how the two have always supported each other. He said, “Even after separation, Kiran and I are very close. I remember we got divorced and then we went to Ladakh to shoot Laal Singh Chaddha and we were invited to a village’s celebration and we both danced there. So, the video of us dancing there went viral and many people questioned that, ‘They are dancing together but they just got divorced.’ I can’t explain this to people – we have a deep bond. She supported me a lot during Laal Singh Chaddha and I supported her during Laapata Ladies. We have a very healthy relationship.”

Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta tied the knot in 1986. They ended their marriage in 2002. They are parents to son Junaid Khan and daughter Ira Khan. Aamir then married Kiran Rao in 2005. But this marriage also didn’t last, and they parted ways in 2021 after 15 years of marriage. They welcomed their son Azad Rao Khan in 2011.
