ass Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt are getting married, many videos and old interviews of the actor have been resurfacing online, where he admitted that he didn’t want to get married. However, after meeting Gauri Spratt, something changed in the 61-year-old’s life and ideology around marriage.
Aamir Khan talks about how Gauri Spratt changed his thoughts on marriage
On several occasions, the ‘Dangal’ star actor had shared that he didn’t want to get married, and the concept seemed strange at his age now. However, a lot changed for the actor after he met Gauri Spratt. During an interview he had with Raj Shamani on his ‘Figuring Out’ podcast last year, the star revealed that while he had admitted on several occasions that marriage wasn’t his thing, when he and Spratt fell in love, things changed.When the host asked about what had changed since those interviews, Khan responded by saying, “Gauri, vo mujhe mili kyunki uss wakt mujhe laga tha ki ab main, meri umar bhi ho gai hai. Ab iss umar me main kahan dhundunga kisi aur ko” (Gauri, I met her because at that time I thought there was someone… more at that age?’). The actor further added that “Meri therapy bhi shuru ho gai thi tab tak, toh mujhe samajh me aa gaya tha ki yaar actually mujhe apne aap ko healthy banana hai. Aur jo mai pyaar karun, pehle apne aap se karun. Self-love and self-respect, uspe maine dhyaan I had started therapy, so I had started therapy, so I had started. I realized that I really needed to focus on being healthy. I realized that the love I give should start with myself, I started focusing on self-love and self-respect.During the interview, at the time he also talked about Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, sharing how he had a close bond with both of them, and to this date is very friendly with them; however, after his second marriage he felt that he would never find anyone with whom he could share the same bond like that.While Gauri Spratt and Aamir Khan knew each other for around 25 years, the actor shared that the two met again “by mistake” and a bond slowly developed between the two. He added that he thought at that moment, “Mujhe ek partner ki zarurat nai hai.” However, the two still ended up falling in love with each other.
