Aamir Khan, who once dismissed remarriage, found love again with Gauri Spratt, a friend from 25 years ago. Therapy helped him prioritize self-love, opening him up to a deeper connection. While committed to Gauri, he feels a third marriage at 60 is unnecessary, prioritizing their bond and her adjustment to his world.
Aamir Khan
, known for his candidness about life and love, recently opened up about a surprising turn in his personal journey. After years of believing that remarriage was off the table, especially at his age, the superstar revealed how reconnecting with longtime friend Gauri Spratt changed everything — bringing calm, companionship, and a renewed sense of hope.
He recently shared the heartfelt reasons behind his shift in perspective and how therapy helped him embrace self-love before opening up to love again.
Rekindling a 25-Year-Old Connection
Recently, Aamir opened up about his life and career during an interview on Raj Shamani's podcast. When asked what changed his decision about not marrying again, Aamir immediately answered, "Gauri," showing his strong admiration for her.
He also shared that three years ago, he believed he wouldn't find anyone at his age, but things changed since then.
The superstar shared that therapy helped him realize the importance of loving and prioritizing himself first before he could fully love or care for someone else. He believed that his relationships with his children and mother were enough for him. At that stage in his life, around the age of 58 or 59, he didn't expect to find a new partner.

He had strong, respectful friendships with his ex-wives Reena and Kiran and thought that was all he needed.
However, by chance, he reconnected with Gauri Spratt, which started as a friendship and gradually developed into a deeper connection.
Aamir and Gauri first met 25 years ago but lost contact over time due to their personal and professional commitments. They reconnected two years ago, and their bond grew into love.
Aamir shared that he was seeking someone who could bring him calm and peace—and found that in Gauri.
Committed But Cautious About Marriage
During the interview, the actor also shared that he has been helping Gauri get ready for the chaotic world of entertainment. To ensure her safety and his own peace of mind, he has even hired private security for her.
Aamir Khan, who has been married twice and remains on good terms with his ex-wives Reena Dutta and
Kiran Rao
, addressed questions about marrying Gauri. He laughed off the idea, saying he is fully committed to her but feels that getting married a third time at 60 wouldn't seem appropriate.

Sara Ali Khan says she 'dehumanised' Alia Bhatt, confesses being jealous of her when she won a National Award: 'We don't see what goes behind it'
Sara Ali Khan who was last seen in 'Skyforce' is gearing up for the release of her next, ' Dino' which also stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Sheikh. Sara who made her debut with 'Kedarnath' has now confessed in an interview that she was envious of Alia Bhatt when she won her first National Award for 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. However, Sara is courageous enough to admit to her feelings and point out how she was wrong. She opened up on it in an interview with NDTV, "When Alia got the National Award, I was like, 'God, she got it, she has a kid also, her life is set'. But I don't know what she went through to get that. I, as an actor, dehumanised her.' She added further, 'You don't know, she must have had challenges and disappointments too, to reach where she has. But I didn't realise what went into it. There are two sides to every coin.' The actress admitted how being envious is wrong as one sees the success of a person but not what went behind it. She added, "Most often, when we are envious of other people, we feel so without all the information. We are envious because we just see that success and then we want that. We don't see what goes behind it; we never see it. Envy means blindness.' ' Dino' directed by Anurag Basu is set to hit the screens on July 4.

Kamal Haasan on Kannada remark: My words were intended only to convey we are all from the same family
Veteran actor and politician Kamal Haasan, on Tuesday (June 3, 2025), said he has always stood for the equal dignity of all Indian languages and remain opposed to the dominance of any one language over another, as such imbalance undermines the linguistic fabric of India. In a letter to Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Haasan addressed the controversy that has erupted after he suggested that 'Kannada came from Tamil' at the audio launch of his latest film Thug Life. His comments triggered strong reactions and resulted in the likelihood of the film not being released in Karnataka due to opposition from political parties. 'It pains me that my statement at the Thug Life audio launch — spoken out of genuine affection for the legendary Dr. Raj Kumar's family, especially Shiva Rajkumar — has been misunderstood and taken out of context. My words were intended only to convey that we are all one and from the same family and not to diminish Kannada in anyway,' he said. Speaking about rich history of Kannada language, Mr. Haasan, 'There is no dispute or debate on the rich legacy of Kannada language. Like Tamil, Kannada has a proud literary and cultural tradition that I have long admired. Throughout my career I have cherished the warmth and affected extended to me by the Kannada speaking community, and I say that with clear conscience and conviction: my love for the language is genuine and I have great respect for the love that Kannadigas have for their mother tongue.' Mr. Haasan further added, 'Cinema is a universal language that knows only love and bonding. My statement was also to establish that bond and unity is amongst all of us. It is this love and bond that my seniors taught me which I wanted to share. It is out of this love and bond that Shivanna attended the audio launch event. I really regret that Shivanna had to go through such embarrassment on account of this.' He further said, 'Cinema must remain a bridge between people - never a wall that divides them. This was the intent of my statement. And I never have been nor would I ever want to give any room for public unrest and animosity. I sincerely hope that my words are received in the spirit they were intended and that my enduring affection for Karnataka, its people and their language is recognised in its true light.'

After Deepika Padukone, Pankaj Tripathi also advocates for reasonable work hours: 'I'm learning to politely say no. Nahi, itna hi hoga'
Deepika Padukone was approached for Prabhas starrer 'Spirit' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga , however, reports suggested that the actress had some demands which the makers couldn't comply with. Hence, eventually Triptii Dimri was cast. Reports suggested that one of Deepika's condition was reasonable working hours. The actress had reportedly asked for eight-hour shift and not beyond that, as she's a new mom to baby Dua Padukone Singh. After Deepika's demand for reasonable work hours and proper work-life balance, several other actors have also spoken in her favour and echoed similar sentiments. Actor Pankaj Tripathi has also advocated for reasonable working hours and said that he's consntantly working sometimes for 16-18 hours. He said in an interview with 'The Hollywood Reporter India', "Right now, I'm practicing saying 'no.' Because everyone should know where the boundary is – that this is the line, and beyond this, it's a polite 'no.'" He added further, "Kaam mein khiche jaa raha hai. 16 ghanta-18 ghanta ho gaya main laga hua hu. Main bol bhi raha hu, actor jaa chuka hai. Labour ruka hua hai. (The work hours are getting stretched. I am working 16–18 hours straight. I'm even saying, the actor has left, the labourers are still waiting)." The 'OMG 2' star further added that he's now learning to politely say no rather than stretch himself beyond a point. He said, "Phir laga nahi, abhi toh aap vinamrata purvak bol dijiye ki 'Nahi, itna hi hoga. Humne commit ye kiya tha, commitment humari poori ho gayi. Ab dhanyavaad. Jo bacha hai, kal karenge.' ( At this point, you should just politely say, 'No, this is all that can be done. This is what we committed to, and we've fulfilled that commitment. Thank you. Whatever is left, we'll do tomorrow')." Meanwhile, film-maker Mani Ratnam spoke in Deepika's favour. He said during a chat with News18 Showsha, 'I think it is a rightful demand. I'm glad she's in a position to ask for it. I think as a filmmaker, you will take that into consideration when you cast. It is not an unreasonable thing to ask, but an absolute necessity. I think that should be the priority. You have to acknowledge that, understand it and work around it." Ajay Devgn who is also a producer recently said that the right film-makers will have no problem with this eight hour shift demand and will happily agree.
