The guest list has not been officially confirmed. Reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, both close friends of Aamir, may attend, though this depends entirely on their schedules at the time. The ceremony is expected to include immediate family members from both sides.
Aamir Khan’s previous marriages
Aamir Khan has been married twice before. His first marriage was to Reena Dutta in 1986. The two were married for 16 years before separating in 2002. They share two children together, Junaid Khan and Ira Khan.
His second marriage was to filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005. They were also married for 16 years. In 2021, the couple announced their separation. They continue to co-parent their son Azad Rao Khan.
Aamir has spoken openly about both relationships. On the talk show Two Much with Twinkle Khanna and Kajol, he said: “I have been lucky that the two women I have been married to are really wonderful women, both Reena and Kiran are wonderful people. So even though we went through the breakup, we are still family.”
How the relationship with Gauri became public
Aamir Khan publicly introduced Gauri Spratt to the media on the eve of his 60th birthday on March 13, 2025, during a meet and greet event in Mumbai. At the event, he confirmed they had been in a relationship for 18 months at that point.
He told journalists that the two had known each other for 25 years but lost contact for a long time. They reconnected accidentally when Gauri was visiting Mumbai. Speaking about how the romance began, he said: “She happened to be in Mumbai and we met accidentally, we kept in touch, and then it all happened organically.”
He also made a lighthearted reference to his 2001 film Lagaan, saying: “Bhuvan ko uski Gauri mil hi gayi.”
Aamir’s public statements on commitment
Since confirming the relationship, Aamir Khan has made several public statements about how he views his bond with Gauri. On Two Much, he described their relationship as equivalent to marriage in his mind. “When you are committed to a relationship then shaadi toh paper pe sign karke karte hai. If you are really connected with the person, sometimes it’s like marriage. Like Gauri and I are together, we are very highly committed to each other,” he said.
In a separate interview with Bollywood Hungama, he said: “Gauri and I are really serious about each other and we are in a very committed space. Marriage is something, I mean, in my heart, I’m already married to her. So whether we formalise it or not is something that, you know, I will decide as we go along.”
In an interview with Navbharat Times, he said: “I feel that I am very blessed that Gauri entered my life. We are very happy together. Mujhe lagta hai ab jaake mai mukammal hua hu.”
