Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently made headlines by publicly introducing his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, on the eve of his 60th birthday. The revelation shocked fans as Aamir, who has been married twice before, opened up about his relationship with the Bengaluru-based entrepreneur. Gauri, a mother to a six-year-old son, has known Aamir for nearly two decades, but their romantic journey began just 18 months ago.
Now, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt has shared his thoughts on Aamir finding love at this stage in life. Speaking to ETimes, Bhatt said, "Well, if I can get married at 50, why can't Aamir Khan find a partner at 60? Age is just a number. There's no age for finding happiness. As life goes by, it stops being about the excitement of a relationship and sexuality. It starts becoming more and more about companionship, and not being lonely. Having someone to hold your hand, someone to understand you, someone to say that it's going to be alright. I'm very happy for Aamir if he has found that in a person. I wish him the best because he's a great guy and deserves happiness."
Aamir Khan, who was previously married to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, expressed why he felt drawn to Gauri. "I was looking for someone who I can be calm with, who gives me peace. And there she was," he shared, highlighting the deep connection they share. Aamir also confirmed that Gauri has already met his family, close friends, and even Bollywood megastars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. His children, Ira Khan, Junaid Khan, and Azad Rao Khan, from previous marriages, have also been introduced to her, and they have warmly welcomed her into the family.
When asked about marriage plans with Gauri, Aamir responded with a laugh, "We are fully committed. But at 60, shaadi shayad mujhe shobha nahi degi (marriage at 60 may not suit me)." Despite being in a relationship with one of Bollywood’s biggest icons, Gauri Spratt has only watched two of Aamir's films—Dil Chahta Hai and Lagaan. Reacting to this, Aamir playfully remarked, "My girlfriend is prettier than Katrina Kaif. I feel like home when I am with her."
Acknowledging the media scrutiny that Gauri will now face, Aamir has taken proactive measures to ensure her security. He has arranged for private security to protect her privacy and well-being as she steps into the public eye. On March 18, 2025, the couple was spotted making their first public appearance together after watching the first screening of his new movie Sitare Zameen Par, which is slated for its Christmas 2025 release. Ending the conversation on a nostalgic note, Aamir humorously referenced his iconic film Lagaan, saying, "Bhuvan ko uski Gauri mil hi gayi."
Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt made their first public appearance together, marking a significant moment in their relationship. The couple, who made their romance official earlier in March 2025, were spotted in Mumbai. In a viral video, Aamir is seen waving to the paparazzi as he waits for Gauri outside Excel Entertainment's office. Gauri, who appeared somewhat hesitant about the media attention, quickly got into their car with Aamir following shortly after. Aamir Khan, who has been in the spotlight for decades, opened up about his bond with Gauri, revealing they have known each other for over 25 years. Despite the time apart, their relationship reignited two years ago, leading to a deeper connection.
In a recent interview, Gauri shared her views on love, saying, "I wanted someone who was kind, a gentleman, and just caring." Aamir, with his characteristic wit, responded, "And after all that, you found me?" Aamir also spoke about the qualities that drew him to Gauri. "I was looking for someone I can be calm with, who gives me peace. And there she was," he said.
Gauri Spratt, who has no strong connections to Bollywood, hails from Bengaluru and has a different perspective on the film industry. Aamir revealed that she hasn’t watched most of his films and isn't familiar with the Bollywood scene. She currently runs a BBlunt salon in Mumbai and is a mother to a six-year-old child. Acknowledging the media frenzy surrounding their relationship, Aamir mentioned that he has been preparing Gauri for the attention that comes with being involved with a public figure. "I have tried to tell her how it will be, the media madness, and prepare her somewhat for it," Aamir said. "She isn’t used to it, but we hope you guys will be kind."
Aamir’s previous marriages to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao were highly publicized, and his new relationship with Gauri has taken many by surprise. An old video from Irfan Pathan's anniversary celebration recently resurfaced, showing Aamir and Gauri standing together at the celebration, which further fueled the media's curiosity about their relationship.
As the spotlight shines brightly on Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt, fans and followers are eager to watch how this love story unfolds. With their commitment to each other clear, it seems that this pairing is one the public will be hearing about for years to come.
