Bollywood Star Aamir Khan Marries Gauri Spratt in Mumbai

A private ceremony at Aamir Khan’s Bandra residence

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan married Gauri Spratt on July 5 in an intimate ceremony held at his residence in the Pali Hill area of Bandra, Mumbai. The Times of India reported that approximately 150 guests attended the wedding, which Khan had previously confirmed to the Deccan Chronicle would be “a very simple registered marriage at home, with just both the families and really close friends.” Khan added at the time, “We both want to keep it very basic.”

First photographs released after the ceremony showed Spratt in an ivory lace suit with layered jewellery and a fishtail braid, while Khan wore a cream kurta accented with a brooch. The choice of attire matched the couple’s stated preference for an understated celebration rather than the lavish public events typically associated with Indian film-industry weddings.

A blended family gathered for the vows

The ceremony brought together members of both families. Khan’s three children, Junaid Khan and Ira Khan from his first marriage to Reena Dutta, and Azad Rao Khan, born through surrogacy during his marriage to filmmaker Kiran Rao, were present, according to Screen, as cited by the Times of India. Spratt’s seven-year-old son from a previous marriage also attended, making the gathering a combined celebration for what the Times of India described as a “blended family.”

The Times of India noted that both of Khan’s former wives were also present at the celebration, describing the gathering as a reflection of the cordial co-parenting relationships Khan has maintained since separating from Dutta in 2002 and from Rao in 2021.

Celebrity guests drawn from film, sport and politics

Indian Express, as cited by the Times of India, reported that filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, who directed Khan in the 2001 Oscar-nominated cricket drama Lagaan, attended the wedding with his wife. Other guests spotted arriving at the Bandra residence included actress Elli AvrRam, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan, Maharashtra politician Raj Thackeray, comedian-actor Vir Das, and lyricist Prasoon Joshi, who has written Hindi film songs and also serves as the chief executive of the Central Board of Film Certification. The Times of India reported that some close friends and relatives travelled from overseas to attend the ceremony.

Following the marriage ceremony, the couple hosted a private lunch for invited guests, featuring dishes said to hold personal significance for them, rather than a separate public reception.

A relationship spanning 25 years before becoming public

Khan publicly acknowledged Spratt for the first time during his 60th birthday celebrations in March 2025, telling reporters that the two had originally met close to 25 years earlier, before reconnecting through his cousin, Nuzhat Khan. “I’ve been fortunate to be in a strong relationship. Like, Reena and I spent 16 years together, and then Kiran and I spent 16 years together, and in many ways we are still together. I’ve learnt so much, and it’s been very enriching. With Gauri, I feel settled,” Khan told the press at the time, as quoted by the Times of India.

Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast last year, Khan offered a more candid account of how the relationship began: “Gauri and I met by mistake and we connected and we became friends, and love happened.” During the same conversation, he acknowledged that he had not expected to find love again following the end of his two previous marriages.

Gauri Spratt’s professional background

Spratt is now associated with Aamir Khan Productions, according to the Times of India. Prior to that, she had been associated with a salon chain based in Bengaluru. Public information about her earlier career remains limited to what has been disclosed in Indian media coverage of the wedding. She is a mother to a seven-year-old son from a previous marriage, who attended the ceremony along with Khan’s three children.

Aamir Khan’s three marriages

The July 5 wedding is Khan’s third. He married Reena Dutta in 1986 as a teenager, and the couple have two children, Junaid and Ira. They separated in 2002 and later divorced. Khan then married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005; the couple welcomed their son Azad Rao Khan through surrogacy. Khan and Rao announced their separation in 2021, though both have publicly described their ongoing co-parenting relationship as cordial. The presence of both former wives at the July 5 ceremony, as reported by the Times of India, reflects that arrangement.

What to watch next

With the wedding now confirmed and first photographs circulated, attention is likely to shift to whether the couple makes a formal joint public appearance and whether Khan announces upcoming professional projects involving Spratt through Aamir Khan Productions. Indian entertainment outlets are also expected to seek comment from Khan’s former wives, Dutta and Rao, regarding the new family configuration. No reception plans beyond the private lunch held at the Bandra residence have been reported.

Wider context

Khan, often referred to in Indian media as “Mr Perfectionalist,” is one of Bollywood’s most commercially and critically successful stars. His filmography includes Lagaan, Rang De Basanti, 3 Idiots, PK, Dangal and Laal Singh Chaddha. Marriage announcements involving senior Bollywood figures in India typically attract substantial media attention, though Khan and Spratt’s decision to opt for a registered marriage without an industry-style reception places the event outside the more publicised ceremonies of recent years.
