Their bond, sparked by a chance reconnection, grew from friendship to love, driven by mutual respect and emotional security. Rooted in Bengaluru, where Spratt lived, their relationship unfolded discreetly, with public appearances in Mumbai and Macau.
A Chance Reunion Sparks Love
On March 13, 2025, Aamir Khan introduced Gauri Spratt to the media at a pre-birthday event in Mumbai, revealing they had been dating for 18 months after knowing each other for 25 years. In a candid June 2025 podcast with Raj Shamani, Khan shared his emotional journey, admitting he had given up on love after two marriages. “Before I met Gauri, I felt like I had aged… I never thought I would meet anyone with whom I can bond this way,” he said, crediting therapy and self-love for opening his heart. Their reconnection, described as a “mistake” through mutual friends, evolved into a deep friendship and then love, with Khan drawn to Spratt’s calming presence. “I was looking for someone I can be calm with, who gives me peace. And there she was,” he added.
Gauri’s Perspective: Falling for Kindness
Gauri Spratt, a half-Tamilian, half-Irish entrepreneur from Bengaluru, captivated Khan with her grounded nature. During the media interaction, she revealed what drew her to him: “I wanted someone who was kind, a gentleman, and just caring.” Khan playfully responded, “And after all that, you found me?” Spratt, who has seen only two of Khan’s films—Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai—doesn’t view him as a Bollywood superstar but as a partner, a dynamic Khan cherishes. Her limited exposure to Hindi cinema, shaped by Bengaluru’s diverse arts scene, adds a unique layer to their bond. Spratt, a mother to a six-year-old, now works with Khan’s production house, navigating her new life in Mumbai’s spotlight.
A Private Love in the Public Eye
Khan and Spratt kept their relationship under wraps for 18 months, with Khan noting, “The media scrutiny is less in Bangalore, so we stayed under the radar.” He introduced her to his family, including ex-wives Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, with whom he maintains cordial ties through Paani Foundation work, and to Bollywood peers Shah Rukh and Salman Khan. Their first public appearance as a couple was at the Macau International Comedy Festival on April 12, 2025. Khan has prepared Spratt for “media madness” with security and training, though he urged paparazzi to respect her privacy.
