Entertainment Desk — Putting months of widespread speculation to rest, Bollywood’s “Mr. Perfectionist” Aamir Khan is set to begin a new chapter of his life today, Sunday, July 5, 2026.
The acclaimed actor is marrying his longtime friend and partner, Gauri Spratt, in an intimate ceremony. Deviating from the typical star-studded, extravagant weddings of Bollywood, the couple has chosen to exchange vows in a deeply personal and low-key setting surrounded only by family and close friends.
According to Indian media reports, the wedding rituals will take place at Aamir Khan’s private residence in Mumbai. The guest list has been strictly limited to between 100 and 150 people, consisting primarily of immediate family members, lifelong friends, and a select few colleagues from the film fraternity.
Hands-on Planning for an Intimate Gathering
Rather than delegating the responsibilities to external celebrity wedding planners, Aamir and Gauri have personally orchestrated every detail of their special day. From curating the guest list to finalizing the luncheon menu, the couple has been entirely hands-on. They have even monitored the preparation of the dishes to ensure a warm, familial touch.
“This is not a flashy celebrity gala,” a source close to the development revealed. “Aamir and Gauri explicitly wanted the day to belong solely to their family and closest circle.” The wedding feast will reflect their personal culinary preferences, featuring a customized menu composed entirely of the couple’s favorite dishes to preserve a cozy, authentic atmosphere.
Children and Inner Circle to Attend
Blessing the union will be Aamir Khan’s three children: Junaid Khan, Ira Khan, and Azad Rao Khan. Alongside family, a handful of Aamir’s closest professional allies have been invited, including celebrated filmmakers Ashutosh Gowariker and Rajkumar Hirani, among a few other tight-knit industry friends.
The actor officially confirmed the wedding news on Thursday during a promotional event in Mumbai for his upcoming series Pritam & Pedro. Addressing reporters, Aamir shared his excitement:
“Our wedding is on July 5. It is organized on a very small scale right at my home. This is a highly special day for us, attended by family and a few close friends. We want to celebrate this moment very intimately. I ask for everyone’s prayers and blessings so that we can remain happy and beautifully navigate this new journey together.”
From a 25-Year Acquaintance to Lifelong Partners
While Aamir and Gauri first met nearly 25 years ago, they lost touch for an extended period before crossing paths again a few years ago. Their rekindled friendship gradually blossomed into romance.
Aamir formally introduced Gauri to the public in March 2025 during his 60th birthday celebrations. At the time, the actor confessed that Gauri had brought an unprecedented sense of peace and stability to his life.
“I was looking for someone with whom I could live peacefully. In Gauri, I found that person,” Aamir stated in previous interviews, adding, “I feel incredibly fortunate to have her. At this stage of my life, she makes me feel complete.”
Gauri Spratt, who grew up in Bengaluru, is an entrepreneur and lifestyle professional. After spending years working with a well-known salon and beauty chain, she has recently transitioned into a role within Aamir Khan Productions. She is also a mother to a seven-year-old son from a previous marriage.
Known for intentionally evading the media spotlight, Gauri previously noted that she sought a partner who was gentle, caring, and humane—viewing Aamir not as a cinematic superstar, but as a dependable, grounded companion.
A New Chapter
This marks Aamir Khan’s third marriage. The actor was first married to Reena Dutta in 1986, with whom he shares Junaid and Ira; the couple divorced in 2002.
He later married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005, and they welcomed their son, Azad. Though Aamir and Kiran announced their divorce in 2021, they have famously maintained a highly amicable relationship and continue to co-parent their son effectively.
Today, as the rumors dissolve into reality, Aamir and Gauri step forward into their future together, eschewing the flashbulbs of paparazzi in favor of genuine love, quiet blessings, and family warmth.
