Following the news that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is set to marry his longtime partner, Gauri Spratt, in an intimate home ceremony on July 5, actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has shared her thoughts on the milestone, praising his willingness to embrace love for the third time.
Speaking about Aamir’s upcoming nuptials, Suchitra expressed admiration for his openness to a new chapter.
“Very Brave of Him”
Suchitra did not hold back her support, celebrating the move as a beautiful step toward personal happiness:
“All the best. Very Brave of him. I wish him the very, very best. I think opening your heart again and loving again is a very beautiful thing. It’s a blessed opportunity, and I wish him all the love and success.”
On Navigating Relationships Post-Divorce
Suchitra, who was previously married to acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur from 1999 until their divorce in 2007, also opened up about her own decision to remain single. For her, staying unmarried has been a conscious choice rooted in self-awareness and her commitment to her creative passions.
-
Married to the Arts: Suchitra described her relationship with her work as demanding and mercurial. “I tell them that I am married to the arts,” she explained. “Sometimes my art is toxic. Sometimes it is financially unstable. Sometimes it is completely unpredictable. No partner can easily put up with that.”
-
The Clarity Metric: She emphasized that entering a partnership requires absolute mental readiness. “Unless you are sorted in your own mind, you cannot sort out a relationship… Unless you are absolutely sure that you want to make those adjustments and spend your life with someone, there is no need to get married.”
-
A Shift in Modern Marriage: Summarizing her philosophy on modern relationships, she noted a distinct cultural shift: “Today, marriage is a choice, not a necessity.”
-
The Extended Family Dynamic: She also offered a piece of practical advice for couples in India, highlighting that marriage extends far beyond just two people. “Before getting married, you should understand the other person’s family. Very often, conflicts between families and couples create difficulties in a relationship.”
A Look at Aamir Khan’s Marriage Timeline
Aamir Khan’s upcoming registered marriage marks his third walk down the aisle. Over the decades, the actor has maintained an unconventional but highly amicable dynamic with his former partners, frequently co-parenting and celebrating family milestones together.

| Second | Kiran Rao | 2005 – 2021 | Met on the sets of Lagaan; they share a son, Azad, via surrogacy and continue to collaborate closely on film projects. |

Aamir and Gauri’s July 5 ceremony is expected to be a quiet, private registered marriage held at the actor’s Mumbai residence. While no massive public celebrations are on the cards, industry whispers suggest close friends like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan may join the families to mark the occasion.
