Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is celebrating his birthday on March 14 and, ahead of the special occasion, he hosted a meet-and-greet session with the media.
The event took an exciting turn when he introduced his girlfriend, Gauri, whom he has known for 25 years.
Aamir Khan Confirms Relationship with Gauri
During the press interaction, Aamir revealed his relationship with Gauri, stating, “Gauri and I met 25 years ago, and now we are partners. We are very serious and committed to each other. We have been together for a year and a half.”
This revelation took many by surprise, as Aamir had managed to keep his relationship out of the public eye until now.
The actor also shared that he recently introduced Gauri to Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan at his Mumbai residence. This suggests that Aamir is comfortable making his relationship public and has already introduced her to some of his closest friends in the industry.
Who is Gauri Spratt?
Providing more insight into Gauri’s background, Aamir shared, “Gauri works in production. I sing to her every day.” While further details about Gauri are yet to be revealed, it is clear that she is involved in the film industry in a professional capacity.
In a playful reference to his role as Bhuvan in the classic film Lagaan, Aamir remarked, “Bhuvan ko apni Gauri mil gayi.” This was a nod to the character Gauri from Lagaan, played by Gracy Singh, who was in love with Bhuvan in the film.
At the event, Aamir showcased his romantic side by singing a few lines from the classic Bollywood song “Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein” for Gauri.
Aamir Khan on Marriage Plans
Addressing speculation about his marriage plans, Aamir humorously remarked, “I don’t know if marriage suits me at the age of 60.”
However, he emphasized that his children fully support his relationship and added, “My kids are very happy. I am very fortunate to have such great relationships with my ex-wives.”
Aamir Khan’s relationship with Gauri has now been officially confirmed, and he seems to be in a happy and committed phase of his life. With his 60th birthday celebration set to take place, fans are eager to see what the future holds for the actor, both personally and professionally.
