Aamir Khanclose friend and co-star of Lagaan Amen Hajee has shared some heartwarming details about the superstar’s private wedding to Gauri Spratt, giving fans a glimpse into the intimate celebration and aamirlife away from the spotlight.Speaking to Rediff, Amin opened up about everything from how Aamir first introduced Gauri to his closest friends to the actor’s growing bond with his five-year-old son Quinn. He also defended Aamir from criticism about his personal life, saying that the actor has always handled his relationships with honesty and responsibility.
“It felt like a big family”
Describing the wedding celebrations, Amin said what stood out the most was how warm and relaxed everything felt.“I think the best part was that we all met a day before the wedding, like how friends get together for lunch. It was a casual evening where Aamir had invited his closest friends. Gauri’s family was also there – they are such warm and wonderful people,” she said.According to Amin, there were no elaborate ceremonies or traditional rituals.“The wedding was held at Aamir’s house. We didn’t follow any traditional wedding rituals. Many people have asked us if there was a sangeet or other ceremonies, but there wasn’t. We just spent time together, chatted, laughed and enjoyed each other’s company.”He also shared that Gauri’s father Robert “Bob” Spratt, her twin sister Shauna and other family members attended the celebrations.
“I think I’ve found my magic”
Amin revealed that Aamir told his closest friends about Gauri almost a year before introducing her publicly.“About a year ago, Aamir invited a few of us to his house and said, ‘I want to talk to you about something.’ He told us that there was someone special in his life. Aamir is a very emotional person and I remember he had tears of joy in his eyes.”“He said, ‘I think I’ve found my magic.'”Amin said Aamir also spoke fondly about Quinn and the respect he had for both Gauri and his son from the beginning.
“He has always moved forward with responsibility”
Amin also addressed the public conversation about Aamir’s past relationships with Reena Dutta and Kiran Raosaying the actor deserves more credit than he gets.“I have known Aamir for over 35 years, and I have always admired his respect for the institution of marriage. Many people become cynical after a failed relationship, but not him. He has always treated marriage with dignity.”And he added: “People often joke about his personal life, but what they don’t see is how honest and fair he’s been. Every time he’s gone through life, he’s done it responsibly. He’s always made sure his old family and his children were taken care of.” Very few people recognize that.”Amin also said that he has personally seen Aamir suffer heartbreak. “People joke about him finding love again after many years, but 15 years is a long time. I’ve seen him go through heartbreak. I’ve seen him cry. Relationships are never as simple as outsiders imagine.”
‘Today is an angel’
Talking about Gauri, Amin had nothing but praise.“He’s an angel. He’s a very mature and thoughtful person.”He remembered a conversation that stuck with him.“She told me, ‘I have a son who needs my attention and love. I need to make sure I find the right balance in this new stage of my life.’ That was such a responsible thing to say.”Amin also revealed that both Aamir and Gauri stood by him during a recent health scare. Before the heart procedure, Gauri consoled him by saying, “Whenever you feel quietly alone, remember that everything will be okay.”After the surgery, she said, “He held my hand, looked me in the eye and just smiled. It was a small gesture, but it meant a lot to me.”
Aamir’s sweet bond with Quinn
One of the most emotional moments Amin shared was about Aamir’s relationship with Quinn.“Quinn is only five, and she simply calls him ‘Aamir’. Their bond didn’t just start, it’s been like this for over a year.”He recalled a night in Panchgani when Aamir was in the middle of an important conversation.“Quinn then asked Aamir to read him a bedtime story. Without thinking twice, Aamir looked at us and said, ‘Guys, I’ll be right back,’ and immediately got up to read Quinn his bedtime story.”For Amin, moments like these perfectly capture who Aamir is beyond the cameras, a devoted partner, a caring father figure and someone who makes time for the people who matter most.
