Aamir Khan signs for 3rd marriage at a ceremony held with children

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and renowned entrepreneur Gauri Spratt tied the knot today, July 5, 2026, in an extremely private wedding ceremony at Aamir's Pali Hill residence in Bandra, Mumbai. Held amidst heavy monsoon rains in Mumbai and under strict security, this simple wedding marks Aamir Khan's third marriage.

Putting an end to various rumors and speculations that had been circulating for some time, the couple officially signed before the Marriage Registrar under the Special Marriage Act. Following this, they hosted a private luncheon for their closest friends and family, featuring their favorite food and beverages. Due to Aamir Khan's immense popularity across the South Asian region, including Sri Lanka, this news has already garnered significant attention in the art world.

Only a limited number of close family members and friends of Aamir and Gauri attended this simple ceremony, including Indian billionaire businessman Mukesh Ambani. Notably, Aamir's children from his previous marriages, Junaid, Ira, and Azad, were present and served as ring bearers. Aamir Khan maintains a very cordial and friendly relationship with his ex-wives, Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, and they have given their full blessings for this new marriage. Gauri's 7-year-old son, Quinn, from her previous marriage, also lovingly joined this wedding, which serves as an excellent example for successful co-parenting and blended family concepts in modern society.

Born on March 14, 1965, and currently 61 years old, Aamir Khan is a preeminent filmmaker, producer, and director, globally renowned for films like 'Lagaan', 'Dangal', 'PK', and 'Dil Chahta Hai'. His new bride, 47-year-old Gauri Spratt, is a successful entrepreneur residing in Bangalore, who has made a name for herself in fashion modeling, styling, photography, and the beauty industry (associated with the BBlunt salon chain). She has previously worked with Aamir Khan Productions. Born to a father of Tamil and British descent (Robert Spratt) and a mother of Punjabi and Irish descent (Rita Spratt), Gauri possesses a multicultural background. Her paternal grandfather, Philip Spratt, was a British national who even contributed to India's freedom struggle. Having received her primary education at Blue Mountain School and pursued fashion design courses in London, Gauri's entrepreneurial success serves as an excellent inspiration for emerging female entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka.

The couple's love story began with a long friendship spanning over 25 years. They first met in the early 2000s, and although they lost touch for a while, they reconnected through Aamir's cousin, Nuzhat Khan. This reunion evolved into a romantic relationship during the 2023-2024 period. Aamir Khan states that their bond was unexpected, saying, "Gauri and I met by chance, but a strong connection formed between us... that's how love happened." Aamir emphasizes that she is a blessing to him, and even before officially marrying, she was already his wife in his heart, and with her, he feels complete. Their relationship became public around Aamir's 60th birthday in March 2025, and they made their first official media appearance at the Macau International Comedy Film Festival. They had been living together in a serious relationship for over two years before their marriage.

Social issues such as education, patriotism, and family relationships, which are frequently discussed in Aamir Khan's films, resonate deeply with Sri Lankan audiences. Therefore, there is significant interest among local fans in this turning point in his personal life. Aamir's third marriage at the age of 61 has sparked a new conversation in contemporary Sri Lankan society about the right to seek happiness at any stage of life and the value of second chances. In an era where social media often chases publicity, their decision to hold a "Gharelu" (family) or simple home-based wedding without massive publicity has been widely praised. According to news and photographs received from Mumbai this afternoon, despite the heavy rain, Aamir's Pali Hill residence was beautifully adorned for the wedding, and they successfully began their new married life in an extremely peaceful and simple setting.
