Aamir Khan on Finding Love Again: Says Gauri Spratt Met a ‘Healed’ Version of Him

Aamir Khan Says Therapy Helped Him Become a Better Partner to Girlfriend Gauri Spratt.

Aamir Khan is embracing love and healing in a new chapter of his life — and credits therapy for much of it. The actor, who introduced girlfriend Gauri Spratt to the media earlier this year on his 60th birthday, recently opened up about their relationship in a candid chat with Filmfare.

“Gauri is meeting a different Aamir now,” he shared. “A more healed version. A little more at ease. Hopefully, a little better.”

Before Gauri, Aamir was married to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao. While both marriages ended in divorce, the superstar says the relationships never turned bitter. “The love and respect have never faded. That’s what’s kept us close even after parting ways,” he said.

Aamir revealed that both splits were handled with mutual understanding. “During both divorces, we didn’t even hire separate lawyers. Just one lawyer, one conversation. These weren’t battles — just two people choosing to part ways with dignity.”

He added, “For a respectful bond to continue post-divorce, both people have to want that. Reena is gracious, Kiran is gracious — and I’ve tried to be the same.”

Recalling a deeply personal moment, he shared, “When Reena’s father refused cancer treatment, she called me. I convinced him to get help. You can’t fake that kind of trust.”

Aamir’s close-knit family dynamic was on full display recently when he walked the red carpet with Gauri and his son Azad at the Sitaare Zameen Par premiere in Mumbai. It marked the couple’s first public appearance together, following the quiet confirmation of their relationship earlier in March.

Gauri, who works with Aamir Khan Films, is based in Bengaluru and comes from a multicultural background — her mother is Tamilian, her father Irish. She has a six-year-old son from a previous relationship and a creative background in fashion and photography.

Still new to the Bollywood spotlight, Gauri has only seen a few of Aamir’s films, including Lagaan and Dangal. But she’s already been introduced to his inner circle — including Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan — and received a warm welcome from his family.

Aamir’s journey, marked by growth and emotional clarity, is reflected in this new relationship. “Therapy helped me understand myself better,” he said. “And that’s helped me love better.”
