Jwala Gutta's note of gratitude for Aamir Khan
Taking to X, Jwala Gutta shared a series of photographs from the naming ceremony of her daughter, along with her husband, Vishnu Vishal. Aamir Khan also graced the evening and was seen cradling the newborn in the different frames.

This journey would have been impossible without u Aamir!! We love you. P.S Thank you for the beautiful name!!!!.'
How do Jwala Gutta and Aamir Khan know each other?
Well, the friendship between Vishnu Vishal, Jwala Gutta, and Aamir Khan dates back to an event where the trio was present together.
While Vishnu and Aamir had been friends for a long time, it was the Tamil actor who introduced his wife, Jwala, to the Bollywood superstar, and they, too, became friends. Their bond solidified a notch higher when the three of them got stuck in the 2023 Chennai floods and had to be rescued by the authorities.
At that time, Vishnu and Jwala had shared pictures with Aamir on social media, giving a peek into their camaraderie. Later, the couple was even invited to attend Aamir Khan's daughter Ira's wedding festivities as well.
Back on March 14, 2025, Jwala Gutta shared a candid picture of herself along with Aamir Khan as she wished the latter on his birthday.
She wrote, 'Happiest birthday to the most amazing human being!!! Happy birthday Aamir…lots of love.'

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 18: Aamir Khan's movie sees drastic fall in Monday earnings, mints...
Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 18: Aamir Khan's movie Sitaare Zameen Par saw a drastic fall in its earnings on Monday, Day 18, keeping the movie away from the prestigious ₹ 150 crore mark for at least another day. The movie had a significant hold on urban cities, but is now facing tough competition from Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino, which, too, focuses on the same target audience. However, metro cities' potential is being hit by stiff competition from the Hollywood biggies—Jurassic World Rebirth and Brad Pitt's F1. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par earned a meagre ₹ 70,00,000 till 6 PM on Monday, Day 18. This means that the movie's total earnings remain below the ₹ 150 crore mark, at ₹ 149.4 crore. These are just early estimates from Sitaare Zameen Par's Monday earnings. The numbers will be revised later to include evening and night show collections. Therefore, a decent jump in the second half of the day may help the Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza starrer to cross the mark by the end of the day. By the end of Saturday, Day 16, the movie had collected ₹ 142.55 crore, of which its Tamil version garnered ₹ 74,00,000 and its Telugu variant earned ₹ 44,00,000. Sitaare Zameen Par saw an overall 7.97% occupancy on July 7. For the Hindi version, the occupancy was as follows: The numbers for the evening and night shows are yet to be released. Chennai, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Lucknow, and Mumbai recorded the highest footfall for the day. Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, has earned a solid ₹ 231.5 crore globally in 17 days. Its overseas collection stood at ₹ 53.75 crore, while its India gross was ₹ 177.75 crore. The numbers are yet to be updated for Day 18.
