Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has made his marriage with Bengaluru-based entrepreneur Gauri Spratt official and there is no surprise around that it is going to be a very small, very simple affair. The wedding will take place in Khan’s Mumbai home and will only be attended by family and close friends.
Aamir said that the couple wanted a “gharelu” celebration— one free from the grandeur and spectacle of Bollywood weddings. He said togetherness and authenticity would trump grand displays and that both he and Gauri want privacy.
The actor’s announcement comes after months of speculation surrounding the wedding, which has attracted significant public interest given Gauri’s non‑Bollywood background. Gauri has been a beauty and fashion star but she has kept a low profile since working with Khan and fans find this wedding all the more interesting.
Family members say the ceremony will be traditional and then a quiet dinner with close family members. Unlike many celebrity weddings, there won’t be an extravagant venue, designer décor or star‑studded guest list. Instead, the couple will celebrate in their own home and that is for a simple reason.
Aamir’s choice, industry insiders say, is a reflection of his longstanding reputation for doing things differently. But just as he has made films that were not expected to be made in his film career, so too has he chosen to have the most meaningful experiences over spectacle in his personal life.
The news has been welcomed by fans and the couple’s choice to keep the wedding private for a small wedding has been welcomed by them. Users on social media have been glowing about it (and the fact that a superstar is celebrating with a grounded celebration is a welcome change, they say) and many are saying they are impressed to see a superstar who is having a wedding.
Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt’s July 5 wedding is more about family and love. They’ve chosen simplicity rather than opulence and they are not just showing that love and togetherness matter more than grandeur to be there for them in the end.
