Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has embarked on a new chapter in his personal life, tying the knot with his longtime partner, entrepreneur and wellness coach Gauri Spratt. Breaking away from the extravagant, star-studded spectacles typical of high-profile celebrity weddings, the couple opted for a low-key, deeply personal registered marriage on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at the actor's residence in Pali Hill, Bandra, Mumbai.The Crowning Jewel: Rare Madagascar Rubies Sourced by QWEENWhile the home ceremony was intentionally kept understated, the wedding jewellery was anything but ordinary. Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt exchanged custom-made, highly exclusive wedding bands featuring exceptionally rare natural rubies sourced from the mines of Madagascar.Designed by the luxury jewellery house QWEEN, Gauri's ring features a prominent Cabochon-cut natural ruby. The master jewellers set the stone within a raised, high-domed gold structure heavily inspired by a royal coronet, lending the piece a distinct, antique heirloom-style aesthetic.According to design disclosures shared by the brand's creative team, crafting these unique tokens of commitment required an intense corporate effort:The Rarity Index: Sourcing the primary Madagascar ruby took more than three months, as the stone belongs to a grade representing a "rarer than one-in-a-million" natural occurrence.Artisanal Man-Hours: The physical construction, prong setting adjustments, and gold engraving demanded 256 hours of meticulous craftsmanship.Collaborative Design: A staggering 131 skilled artisans and karigars contributed their expertise to finalise the rings' complex, regal structure.This custom commission continues Aamir's penchant for gifting Gauri rare, globally sourced jewels. Earlier this year, in March 2026, she was spotted wearing a bespoke Brazil-sourced aquamarine cocktail ring set with natural diamonds, a gift from the actor to celebrate his milestone 61st birthday.An Intimate Registry Under the Special Marriage ActThe wedding was solemnised under the provisions of the Special Marriage Act, providing a quiet, legally binding framework at home. The ceremony brought together a close-knit group of approximately 150 guests, consisting primarily of childhood friends, the couple's respective families, and a handful of longtime cinematic collaborators.All four children from their previous marriages were actively involved in the celebrations, highlighting a supportive blended family dynamic:Junaid Khan & Ira Khan: Aamir's eldest children from his first marriage to Reena Dutta.Azad Rao Khan: Aamir's son from his second marriage to filmmaker Kiran Rao.Quinn: Gauri's six-year-old son from her previous marriage.Notable attendees celebrating the union included directors Rajkumar Hirani and Ashutosh Gowariker, former wife Kiran Rao, Reena Dutta, comedian Vir Das, cricket veteran Irfan Pathan, politician Raj Thackeray, and business tycoon Mukesh Ambani.Reconnecting Across Decades: The Love StoryThough their romantic relationship blossomed relatively recently in 2024, Aamir and Gauri's connection spans nearly 25 years. The duo originally crossed paths in Bengaluru over two decades ago before entirely losing touch as their careers diverged.Fate intervened in early 2024 when Aamir’s cousin, Nuzhat Khan, helped re-establish communication while Gauri was living in Bengaluru. Following a one-year-long-distance courtship, Gauri—who has an established entrepreneurial portfolio in the beauty industry as a former co-owner and manager of the salon brand BBlunt—relocated to Mumbai. She has since integrated into the creative operations at Aamir Khan Productions, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary milestone.
