Aamir Khan, the so-called 'perfectionist' of Indian cinema, has publicly confirmed his relationship with Gauri Spratt, a Bengaluru-based entrepreneur who has been his friend for over 25 years. The news came straight from the superstar himself during his 60th birthday celebrations, shocking fans and industry insiders alike.
Who is Gauri Spratt?
Gauri Spratt, a businesswoman with roots in Bengaluru, has remained largely out of the public eye until now. Unlike Aamir’s previous relationships, which involved high-profile women from the film industry, Gauri is known for her entrepreneurial ventures and connection to Khan’s production company. She is of Tamil-Irish heritage, with a deep family history—her grandfather was reportedly a freedom fighter. She also has a six-year-old son from a previous relationship, and sources say she has already been introduced to Khan’s family, who have welcomed her with open arms.
For decades, Gauri and Aamir shared a strictly platonic bond, but things took a romantic turn roughly 18 months ago. According to Khan, it was an unexpected but deeply fulfilling transition. “She was always there in my life, but something changed, and we realized we were meant to be more than friends,” he admitted in an emotional moment during his birthday event.
Fans and media were taken aback by the revelation, considering Khan’s carefully guarded personal life and the relatively low profile of Spratt. Why did he keep it under wraps for so long? Sources close to the actor suggest that he wanted to avoid unnecessary speculation and focus on their personal happiness before going public.

Public Reactions: Social Media Frenzy & Speculation
The revelation has sparked a social media meltdown, with fans divided between support and skepticism.
“Aamir Khan really waited 25 years to date his friend? This is straight out of a movie!” – Bollywood enthusiast on X (formerly Twitter)
“What happened to Kiran Rao? Aamir keeps moving on every decade.” – A critical take from a fan forum
“Happy for him! Love finds you in unexpected places.” – A fan comment on Instagram
Some netizens are questioning the timing, wondering if this was a long-standing romance disguised as friendship. Others have defended the couple, stating that age and past relationships shouldn’t dictate happiness.
While marriage rumors have already started swirling, Aamir Khan has remained tight-lipped about any plans to tie the knot. However, insiders say that the couple is extremely serious and that Spratt has already become a key part of Khan’s inner circle.
In an industry where high-profile romances come and go, this one stands out—not just for the shock factor, but for the longevity and depth of their connection. Whether fans approve or not, one thing is certain: Aamir Khan has found love again, and he isn’t afraid to embrace it publicly this time.
