Bollywood’s perennial “Mr. Perfectionist,” Aamir Khan, has set tongues wagging and hearts fluttering as he officially introduced his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, to the world on the eve of his 60th birthday. The suave superstar, known for keeping his personal life under wraps, chose a cozy meet-and-greet with the media in Mumbai on Thursday, March 13, to unveil his latest love story—a romance that’s been brewing for 18 months but kept hush-hush until now. And oh, what a reveal it was!
Gauri Spratt, a Bengaluru-born beauty with Tamil-Irish roots, isn’t just a fresh face in Aamir’s life—she’s been a friend for over 25 years. The two reconnected about a year and a half ago, and sparks flew, leading to a committed relationship that Aamir now proudly flaunts. “We felt secure enough in each other to tell you guys,” he said with a chuckle, adding, “Tomorrow, if I go for coffee with her, you all can join us!” The actor, dressed in his signature casual chic, even serenaded Gauri with Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein at the event, proving that romance is ageless.
So, who is this mystery woman who’s stolen the heart of one of Bollywood’s biggest icons? Gauri, reportedly in her mid-40s, is an entrepreneur with a flair for style. She runs a BBlunt salon in Mumbai and has a background in fashion styling and photography from the University of the Arts, London. Her mother, Rita Spratt, once owned a salon in Bengaluru, and Gauri seems to have inherited that entrepreneurial spirit. With a six-year-old son from a previous marriage, Gauri brings a grounded charm to the table—describing Aamir as “thoughtful” and “romantic” during their media chat. Fun fact: she’s not a movie buff and has only seen Lagaan and Dangal from Aamir’s illustrious filmography!
The duo’s relationship isn’t just a personal milestone—it’s a family affair. Aamir revealed that Gauri has already met his children—Junaid, Ira, and Azad—and his ex-wives, Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, with whom he shares a famously cordial bond. “I’m fortunate to have such great relationships with my ex-wives,” he said, adding, “With Gauri, I feel settled.” Sources say the Khan clan has welcomed Gauri with open arms, and she even rubbed shoulders with Bollywood royalty Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan at Aamir’s intimate birthday dinner on Wednesday night.
But don’t cue the wedding bells just yet! When asked about marriage plans, Aamir laughed it off, saying, “At 60, mujhe shaadi shobha deti hai ki nahi (does marriage suit me at this age)?” For now, the couple is content being “committed” and living together, with Gauri also working at Aamir Khan Productions. Her transition from Bengaluru to Mumbai’s “Bollywood madness” has been a learning curve, and Aamir admitted he’s been prepping her for the spotlight—even hiring private security for her “personal peace.”
The internet, meanwhile, is abuzz with Gauri fever. Fans have dug up her Pinterest boards hinting at a whimsical outdoor birthday dinner for Aamir—think bonfires and fairy lights—while others compare her striking looks to Hollywood’s Katie Holmes. “She’s got that effortless elegance,” gushed one netizen, and we couldn’t agree more.
As Aamir steps into his 60s today, March 14, he’s not just celebrating a milestone birthday but a new chapter with Gauri by his side. After two marriages—16 years with Reena (1986-2002) and 16 with Kiran (2005-2021)—and a legacy of blockbuster hits, this romance feels like a script straight out of his own films: unexpected, heartfelt, and oh-so-charming. Here’s to Aamir and Gauri—Bollywood’s newest power couple proving that love, like a good film, only gets better with time!
