Aamir Khan on marrying at 60, hiring security for Gauri Spratt amid ‘media madness’ 

On Thursday, actor Aamir Khan presented his live-in partner, Gaur Spratt, to the press. He additionally expressed his views on marrying her at 60 and how he has been getting her ready for the ‘media frenzy’.

When asked if he was thinking about marrying again Khan laughed and said there are no plans right now, but one shall never say never. “See, we are fully committed. And I have been married twice. Par ab 60 saal ki umar mein shaadi shayad mujhe shobha nahi degi (Now getting married at 60 wouldn’t suit me). But let’s see.”

Khan told the media that he was comfortable talking about their relationship, and chuckled that he wouldn’t mind if they wanted to join them over coffee. “We are committed now, and we felt we were secure enough in each other to tell you guys. And this is better, I won’t have to hide things now. Tomorrow, if I go for a coffee with her, you guys can join us, too,” he said.

He said he understands the bit of attention that she will have to endure now, but he has made security arrangements to help her. “I was looking for someone who I can be calm with, who gives me peace. And there she was. I have tried to tell her how it will be, the media madness, and prepare her somewhat for it. She isn’t used to it. But we are hoping that you guys will be kind,” he said.

Khan and Spratt have maintained their friendship for more than 25 years. The superstar revealed that they got back in contact after being out of touch for two years, and it was then that they considered pursuing a romantic relationship.

Aamir Khan is a father of three from his two prior marriages, while Spratt has a son who is six years old. She is of mixed Tamilian and Irish descent, hailing from Bengaluru, and is presently employed at Aamir Khan Productions.
