Aamir Khan on Divorce: “Shaadi Me Main Kamyab Nahi Hua Hun”

Bollywood’s Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, recently dropped a truth bomb during a candid chat on Zoom about marriage, divorce, and new love.

Promoting his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par, he opened up about his personal journey, and it’s both honest and surprising.

Marriage vs. Divorce: A Hilarious Self-Assessment

Aamir didn’t mince words. He said,

“Shaadi me main kamyab nahi hua hun, lekin divorce me main hua hoon.”
(“I wasn’t successful in marriage, but I’ve been successful in divorce.”)

He explained that sometimes, staying in a marriage means pretending you’re happy when you’re not. In his case, both marriages didn’t work out, but he feels he handled their endings maturely. It was refreshingly candid, almost like he’s wearing honesty as a badge of courage.

Behind the Bold Statement

Aamir went deeper into why he said this:

Family matters: He admitted it wasn’t an easy decision and that his loved ones weren’t happy about the separations.
Emotional clarity: He realized relationships evolve; sometimes you grow together, sometimes apart.
Not a brag: Despite the humor, he made it clear he didn’t see divorce as success but as a courageous choice to be true to himself.

Love at 60: Enter Gauri Spratt

Right after that big confession, Aamir added a new chapter: meeting Gauri Spratt. He introduced her to the media on his 60th birthday in March, and she stunned everyone.

Who is Gauri?

Hails from Bengaluru, runs a BBlunt salon in Mumbai, and is a mother to a six-year-old.
Has a rich background in fashion and styling; educated in London.
They’ve known each other for 25 years, but their romance started about 18 months ago.

Aamir mentioned therapy played a key role. Through self-work, he found peace and emotional clarity, and that’s when Gauri came into his life. He called their meeting organic, not planned.

In fact, he even joked their relationship might have been a “mistake,” but in a heartfelt way, showing how vulnerable he felt.

Public Appearances: From Macau to Mumbai Airport

Since making their relationship official, the couple has stepped out together, hand in hand, casually affectionate, and totally in sync.

At the Macau International Comedy Festival, they made a lovely pair in traditional outfits. Aamir introduced Gauri to Chinese actors Shen Teng and Ma Li, and they even posed cutely for the cameras.
In May, Gauri was seen welcoming Aamir at the airport, showing real couple goals and stirring fan admiration.
Most recently, the duo was spotted at Mumbai Airport ahead of Sitaare Zameen Par. Despite the chaos, Aamir paused for selfies with fans, classic Mr. Perfectionist with humility intact.

Family First: Ex-Wives, Kids & Co-Parenting

Aamir has a unique way of doing love and family:

Ex-Wives:
- Married Reena Dutta in 1986 (kids: Ira & Junaid), divorced in 2002.
- Married Kiran Rao in 2005 (son: Azad), divorced in 2022.
He maintains friendly, respectful bonds with both, co-parenting and supportive relationships.
Gauri fits in well with the extended family; she’s been spotted visiting Reena’s home and mingling happily with both ex-wives.

What About Marriage…Again?

When asked about tying the knot for the third time, Aamir kept it real:

At 60, another marriage might not “suit” him.
But meeting Gauri made him reconsider his stand. He’s open, but not rushing into anything.

Sitaare Zameen Par: The Context

All this personal drama is happening amid buzz for Sitaare Zameen Par, releasing 20 June. It’s a comedy-drama and spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par, based on the Spanish film Campeones. Aamir plays a basketball coach training differently-abled kids, and it’s poised to be heartwarming, just like his life, it seems.

In Summary

Marriage? Not really worked for Aamir.
Divorce? He handled it with grace and honesty.
New love? Found peace, therapy helped, and Gauri arrived at just the right time.
Public life? They’re affectionate, respectful to family, and navigating love at 60 on their own terms.

Final thoughts

Aamir Khan’s journey, from divorce to rediscovering love, is a masterclass in vulnerability, maturity, and courage. He admits failure in marriage, yet finds redemption in divorce and healing through therapy.

Now, at 60, he’s walking hand-in-hand into a new relationship that feels light, respectful, and real. And whether or not marriage happens again, we’re rooting for this chapter full of hope, authenticity, and second chances.
