Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt are now officially married, having tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Sunday, 5 July in Mumbai. The close-knit affair was attended by family members, close friends, and several prominent figures from the film industry.
The Wedding Ceremony
The couple dressed in traditional cream and beige outfits for the occasion. A photograph released by the actor's publicist captures Aamir Khan signing the marriage papers with Gauri Spratt seated beside him, surrounded by family and friends.
Notably, the wedding went ahead despite a red alert declared by authorities owing to heavy rain across the city. Guests including filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, actor-director Vir Das, and politician Raj Thackeray were seen arriving at the venue through the downpour.
Children from Previous Marriages Attend
All three of Aamir's children were present to bless the union. His elder son, actor Junaid Khan, daughter Ira Khan, and younger son Azad attended the ceremony alongside other family members. The presence of children from both his previous marriages underscored the family's united support for the occasion.
Aamir's Marriage History
This marks Aamir Khan's third marriage. He first married Reena Dutta in 1986; the couple have two children — Junaid Khan and Ira Khan — and separated in 2002. He subsequently married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005, and the couple welcomed son Azad Rao Khan through surrogacy. Aamir and Kiran announced their separation in 2021.
Who Is Gauri Spratt
Gauri Spratt has a background in the fashion and beauty industry, including involvement with a Bengaluru-based salon business, and later became associated with Aamir Khan Productions. She and Aamir have reportedly known each other for over 25 years, though their romantic relationship is said to have developed only in recent years. She was previously married and has a son from that marriage.
When Aamir Confirmed the Wedding
The actor first publicly confirmed the wedding at the screening of director Rajkumar Hirani's recently released series 'Pritam and Pedro', around his 60th birthday last year. He said: 'Shaadi hai 5 July ko. Ghar pe hi kar rahe hain. Bahut hi choti shaadi hai. Bahut hi khaas din hai 5 tarikh hamare liye. Dono families hain aur kuch khaas dost hain.' ('The wedding is on 5 July. We are hosting it at home; it's a very small, intimate affair. It is a very special day for us. Both families and a few close friends will be there.')
With the ceremony now concluded, Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt begin a new chapter — one that, by the actor's own telling, was years in the making.
