Khan, who turned 60 recently, revealed that he has known Gauri for 25 years and that they have been in a relationship for the past 18 months. Known for his private nature, the superstar has never shied away from introducing his partners to the public.
The introduction of Gauri has sparked widespread curiosity, with many eager to learn more about her background and journey.
Early life and family
Gauri hails from Bengaluru, where she spent much of her life. Born into a multicultural family, her father is Tamil-British, and her mother is Punjabi-Irish.
Her grandfather, Philip Spratt, was a freedom fighter, adding a historical legacy to her heritage. Her mother, Rita Spratt, ran a well-known salon in Bengaluru, which influenced Gauri's path into the beauty and fashion industries.
Education and career
Gauri attended the Blue Mountain School in Ooty from 1990 to 1996 before pursuing a Foundation Degree in Arts (FDA) in Styling & Photography at the University of the Arts London, graduating with distinction in 2004.
Professionally, Gauri has made a name for herself in the beauty and hairstyling industry. She is a partner and director at a prominent salon chain and has also worked in image branding and styling. Recently, she began collaborating with Aamir's production house, further cementing her presence in Bollywood.
Personal life
Gauri is a mother to a six-year-old son, Quinn, from a previous relationship. While she and Aamir have known each other for over two decades, the couple began dating 18 months ago.
Aamir shared that their relationship remained largely private due to Gauri living in Bengaluru, allowing them to avoid the intense media scrutiny typical of Bollywood celebrities.

Jessie J reveals early breast cancer diagnosis before "No Secrets" release

British singer-songwriter Jessie J has opened up about her battle with early breast cancer, revealing that she was diagnosed prior to the release of her track "No Secrets" in April. The singer, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, shared the news with her followers on Instagram on Tuesday. 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer before 'No Secrets' came out,' Jessie J explained in her post, emphasising the importance of the word "early." Despite the diagnosis, Jessie expressed gratitude for the early detection, acknowledging the difficulties of cancer while focusing on the positive aspects of her situation. The singer has been undergoing a series of tests since the release of her song, and she explained that she decided to be open about her journey for a personal reason. 'I just wanted to be open and share it because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough,' she said. Jessie J also noted how sharing her experiences in the past has helped her connect with others facing similar challenges. Despite the situation, the singer found humour in the coincidence of releasing No Secrets alongside her personal health battle, saying, 'It's a weird topic and a weird situation.'

'Game of Thrones' star Liam Cunningham sets sail for Gaza

Both public figures have been vocal in their solidarity with Palestine. Photos: file Irish actor Liam Cunningham, 64, famous for playing Davos Seaworth in HBO's Game of Thrones series, has announced that he will be joining 11 activists in their attempt to break the Israeli siege on Gaza. Cunningham has been vocal in his support for Palestine since the Israeli bombings began in 2023, and he is joined in the cause by Greta Thunberg, a renowned Swedish climate activist. Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan will also be accompanying the group. The group set sail on Sunday on the boat Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC). The journey is expected to take seven days if they are not hindered. As reported previously by Al Jazeera, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition had attempted to sail the vessel Conscience in early May, but it was attacked by Israeli drones while passing through Maltese waters. Cunningham has been documenting and sharing their progress on social media. According to a press release by the FFC, the boat is named Madleen after Gaza's first and only fisherwoman in 2014, symbolising the "unyielding spirit of Palestinian resilience and the growing global resistance to Israel's use of collective punishment and deliberate starvation policies." In a press release on the UN Office of Human Rights Commission website, experts called for safe passage for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's ship carrying essential aid supplies to Gaza. They expressed concern for Israel's disregard for international laws and its constant attacks on humanitarian aid workers. "Aid is desperately needed for the people of Gaza to forestall annihilation, and this initiative is a symbolic and powerful effort to deliver it. Israel should remember that the world is watching closely and refrain from any act of hostility against the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and its passengers," the experts said. "The people of Gaza have the right to receive aid through their own territorial waters even under occupation, and the Coalition ship has the right to free passage in international waters to reach the people of Gaza," they said. "Israel must not interfere with its freedom of navigation, long recognised under international law." Call for solidarity Another Irish supporter of Palestine who made news this week is the Irish MMA Fighter Paddy McCorry, who shouted "Free Palestine" while tackling his Israeli opponent, Shuki Farage, in an act of solidarity with Gaza on Saturday. This event happened at the Cage Warriors 189 event in Rome, Italy, where he also raised the Palestinian Flag after his win. He shared the viral clip of this win and captioned it "Street justice". According to the UN World Food Program, more than 70,000 children and 17,000 women in Gaza need urgent treatment for acute malnutrition. They state on their website that "more than 116,000 metric tons of food assistance – enough to feed 1 million people for up to 4 months – is ready to be brought into Gaza if the blockade is lifted." Earlier, actors, musicians, activists and other public figures wrote a letter calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to "end the UK's complicity in the horrors in Gaza". British-Albanian pop sensation Dua Lipa has been vocal about the war in Gaza and last year criticised Israel's offensive as a "genocide". Other signatories include actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton and Riz Ahmed, and musicians Paloma Faith, Annie Lennox and Massive Attack.
