Earlier this year, Aamir introduced his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, to the media when he turned 60. The two had met 25 years ago and lost touch, but reconnected a couple of years ago. Aamir revealed that they have been together for 18 months. Gauri, who lived in Bengaluru, has been married before and has a six-year-old son. Aamir and Gauri made their first public appearance as a couple at the Macau International Comedy Festival in China. While Aamir opted for a black kurta-pyjama with a black embroidered shawl, Gauri wore a light blue floral saree.
Aamir is looking forward to his comeback to the big screen with his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. The actor was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022, which failed to make a mark at the box office. His upcoming film is a spiritual sequel to his hit Taare Zameen Par and also stars Genelia D'Souza in the lead role.

The OTT Window: From Fixed Plan to Reactionary Tactics
The film industry is changing its OTT strategies. Theatrical performance now dictates streaming timelines. 'Thug Life' renegotiated its Netflix deal due to poor box office results. Aamir Khan is prioritizing theatrical release for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. He is willing to forego early OTT deals. Success determines the strategy. Failure leads to streaming as a safety net. Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan 's Thug Life struck a premium deal with Netflix worth upwards of Rs 150 cr — the highest-ever for a Tamil film — with the condition of an 8-week theatrical exclusivity At its May press reveal, Haasan called this a 'game‑changer,' saying the extended window was 'not an experiment… a pragmatic thing to do' to preserve theatre business . But when the film underperformed—garnering mixed-to-negative reviews and collecting around Rs 85 crore on a Rs 180–300 crore budget the strategy unraveled. Within days of the release on June 5, trade trackers revealed flat earnings: Rs 3.62 crore on Monday and ~Rs 40.5 crore domestic total by Day 5 The box-office reality clashed with the assumption that romance for 'big star + big director = big returns.' Negotiating the OTT timeline The initial OTT release date—early August—hinged on a full 8 weeks. But reports now suggest the window may be slashed to just 4 weeks, with Netflix re-opening negotiations for an earlier premiere According to insiders, the talks might shift Thug Life to OTT by July 3, pending deal amendments This pivot underscores a key truth: OTT is no longer a set-in-stone timeline, but a reactive tool—used to recoup losses or cut off satellite deals depending on theatrical performance. Aamir Khan 's Gambit: Theatre-First, Then Nothing? Enter Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan's next venture, poised for theatrical release on June 20. Known for his meticulous approach, Khan has emphatically refused OTT deals ahead of its theatrical launch, even in the face of rumored Netflix offers as high as Rs 125 crore In interviews, he has called OTT offers 'a lot of proposals,' but said no to all, asserting:'I am a loyalist … It is possible that I am making a big mistake by not selling to all these OTTs and I am going to face a big financial loss. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo We will see that later. Right now, I have to revive the theatre business, which is decreasing with every film.' in his conversation with Mid-Day. Rumors swirl that Netflix escalated its offer from Rs 50–60 cr to Rs 125 cr, reportedly to block Khan's potential YouTube pay-per-view plan Netflix insiders in an exclusive report with ETImes, however dismissed the news as "absolutely false" Betting on theatrical until failure strikes Khan's stated vision is bold: prioritize theatrical release, delay—or perhaps forego—streaming if it succeeds. But crucially, the fallback is implicit: if box-office returns disappoint, the film's digital fate becomes flexible. His caution reflects an industry-wide lesson. High stakes revenue gaps—lost due to early OTT—can become catastrophic, as seen with previous flops like Laal Singh Chaddha or Thugs of Hindostan, where streaming deals heavily mitigated theatrical losses. Why Success—or Its Absence—Is now OTT's Litmus Test Three interlinked forces drive this newfound flexibility: Performance-sensitive deals Streaming platforms pay top dollar, but only if theatrical metrics align. Underwhelming initial numbers give OTT buyers leverage. They can argue: 'Pay less or premiere sooner,' as seen in Thug Life's renegotiation. Real-time data advantage Advanced analytics on pre-sales, occupancy, and viewing trends allow studios and streamers to make dynamic decisions post-release. Risk mitigation An extended theatrical window protects box-office potential—but if a film tanks, that same window becomes a liability, delaying essential OTT revenue. At its core, the evolving OTT window calculus reveals one thing: a film's theatrical success is the ultimate currency. Whether locking down long exclusivity or fast-tracking to digital, every strategy now hinges on real performance metrics. In today's ecosystem, it's not the plan but the profit that dictates the pivot. If a film soars, theatrical-first strategies and longer windows triumph. If it falters, streaming becomes the safety net—or the pressure point.

Aamir Khan recalls being nervous about his career in Bollywood due to short height: ‘Amitabh Bachchan was number 1'
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. The trailer of the film shows Aamir's on-screen mother calling him a 'tingu', referring to his short height. In a recent interview with Just Too Filmy, Aamir revealed that he was afraid and nervous about his height at the beginning of his career. (Also Read: Sitaare Zameen Par first reviews out: Aamir Khan's film will 'change perceptions, make you cry') When asked if he's become more comfortable taking a joke at his own expense, especially now that he's allowing people to call him 'tingu' in the film, Aamir said, "Actually, Javed saab once said something about humour that I really agree with. He said a good sense of humour is not just for fun and games, but it actually comes in handy when you're going through difficulties in life. So if you have a good sense of humour at that time, it's like a shock absorber. I think I've always had that ability, and it's a very important part of the film." Aamir further recalled being worried about his height early in his career and said, "At the beginning of my career, I was very afraid. Amit ji was number one, and he was over six feet tall. Vinod ji, Shatrughan Sinha—all were very tall. So I was nervous, thinking choti height ke actor ki kuch daal galegi ki nahi galegi (whether a short actor like me would even stand a chance). I was very concerned about that. But as it turned out, it was fine." Meanwhile, in Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir is set to play the role of a basketball coach who is forced to train a team of neurodivergent children for a tournament as a form of punishment. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the film is a remake of the Spanish movie Campeones and features ten debutant actors: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 20.
