Aamir Khan, at the cusp of turning 60, has officially announced his relationship with Gauri Spratt, a Bengaluru-based professional, after keeping it private for approximately 18 months. The Bollywood superstar introduced Gauri to the media during a pre-birthday gathering, with his family's wholehearted approval. Khan shared that they have known each other for 25 years but started dating a year and a half ago.

Khan explained that Gauri lived in Bangalore, which allowed them to keep their relationship under the radar by flying to meet her there, away from intense media scrutiny. He expressed relief that they no longer need to hide their relationship, as they both feel secure and committed to each other. Gauri also shared that she received a warm welcome from Aamir's family, which made her feel comfortable.

Regarding marriage, Aamir, who has been married twice before, to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, indicated that while he and Gauri are fully committed, he might not get married again. He humorously stated that at 60, marriage might not suit him, but he remains open to possibilities. Despite this, the actor has emphasized his continued belief in the institution of marriage. He has joked, “I can pretend that Kiran and I are…”, seemingly hinting at maintaining amicable relations with his former partners and perhaps suggesting a continued unconventional family dynamic.

Gauri Spratt 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. She is also a mother to a six-year-old son. Currently, she is working in production with Aamir's production house.

One of the factors that strengthened their bond is Gauri's lack of deep immersion in Bollywood. Aamir mentioned that she sees him as a regular person, not a superstar, which has helped them connect on a deeper level. Gauri herself isn't deeply familiar with Aamir's filmography, further solidifying their down-to-earth connection. She has only watched a few of his films, including "Lagaan" and "Dangal."

The couple made their first public appearance together recently in Mumbai. Aamir has been preparing Gauri for the media attention that comes with being involved with a public figure. He acknowledged the media frenzy surrounding their relationship and expressed hope that the media would be kind to Gauri, who is not accustomed to such attention.

Aamir has maintained cordial relationships with both his ex-wives and their families, emphasizing mutual respect and affection. He has two children, Ira and Junaid, from his marriage to Reena Dutta, and a son, Azad, with Kiran Rao. His ability to maintain these relationships reflects his personal values and approach to family dynamics.

The announcement of Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt's relationship has sparked conversations about privacy, emotional security, and the complexities of modern relationships. As they step into the public eye together, their bond highlights the importance of finding a partner with whom one can be calm, secure, and deeply connected.
