The recent buzz in Bollywood revolves around Aamir Khan's confirmation of his relationship with Gauri Spratt, a Bengaluru-based entrepreneur. The actor, who celebrated his 60th birthday on March 14, 2025, revealed that he and Gauri have been dating for about a year and a half, though they've known each other for 25 years. This revelation has sparked considerable interest, especially after Aamir introduced Gauri to his close friends and colleagues, including Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
During an informal media interaction on the eve of his birthday, Aamir shared details about his relationship with Gauri, who works in production. He mentioned that they are living together and that his family has embraced their relationship with warmth and approval. Gauri, who is a mother to a six-year-old son, has a background in fashion, styling, and photography, having studied at the University of Arts, London. She is of mixed heritage—half Tamilian and half Irish—and her grandfather was a freedom fighter.
The introduction of Gauri to Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan happened at a pre-birthday dinner hosted by Aamir at his residence. This meeting of Bollywood titans has further fueled media speculation and fan discussions. Amidst all the attention, a playful query was posed to Aamir regarding Salman Khan's love life, specifically whether Salman should also find a "Gauri," referencing the fact that both Shah Rukh Khan (Gauri Khan) and Aamir now have partners with the same name.
According to several reports, Aamir responded to this suggestion with a hint of humor and affection for his friend. While details of the exact exchange vary slightly across different publications, the general sentiment remains consistent. Some reports quote Aamir sighing and saying, "Salman kya dhoondhega ab? (What will he find now?)," while others suggest he simply stated, "Salman will do what is good for him." These responses indicate Aamir's belief that Salman is capable of making his own choices regarding his personal life and relationships.
Aamir also shared his reasons for going public with his relationship with Gauri, explaining that they both feel secure and committed to each other. He expressed relief at not having to hide their relationship anymore, adding that Gauri is still adjusting to the "Bollywood madness." He has taken measures to prepare her for the media scrutiny, including hiring private security for her peace of mind. Gauri, on her part, has expressed gratitude for the warm welcome she has received from Aamir's family. She shared that she instantly felt at home with them.
Aamir has been married twice before, to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, and has three children from these marriages. He maintains cordial relationships with both his ex-wives, emphasizing mutual respect and affection. His openness about his past relationships and his current relationship with Gauri reflects his evolving perspective on love and companionship.
The media's interest in Salman Khan's reaction is understandable, given the close bond the three Khans share in the industry. However, Aamir's response suggests that he respects Salman's privacy and believes in his ability to navigate his personal life independently. It appears Aamir is focused on his relationship with Gauri and helping her adjust to her new life in the spotlight.
