Aamir Khan Third Wedding | Rakhee Gulzar Backs Aamir Khan's Marriage To GF Gauri Spratt At 60: What Is Wrong?

Veteran actor Rakhee Gulzar has spoken out in support of Aamir Khan, who plans to marry girlfriend Gauri Spratt on 5 July, amid online criticism over a third marriage at the age of 60. The comments follow rising debate on social media about Aamir’s personal life and choices, even as the couple quietly prepares for the ceremony.

Aamir, earlier married to Reena Dutta and later to Kiran Rao, has faced sharp reactions from some users who question a third marriage at this stage of life. At the same time, fans have expressed curiosity and interest in the upcoming wedding, which follows Aamir’s public confirmation of his relationship with Gauri on his 60th birthday in 2025.

Aamir Khan wedding plans and confirmation

Aamir confirmed that the ceremony is going ahead while speaking to Variety India during travel in the United States. The actor said, "I'm currently traveling in the US. The news about the marriage is true. It's on July 5." Reports indicate the event will stay intimate, with only relatives and close friends expected, and specific arrangements still being kept private.

Although Aamir had earlier suggested that marriage was not an immediate concern, the actor has now indicated that both Aamir and Gauri feel ready for this step. Key details known so far about the Aamir Khan wedding and previous marriages are summarised below.

Spouse / Partner	Period / Date	Details
Reena Dutta	First marriage	Remains on cordial terms after divorce.
Kiran Rao	Second marriage	Continues friendly association following separation.
Gauri Spratt	Wedding on 5 July	Relationship confirmed on Aamir’s 60th birthday in 2025.

Rakhee Gulzar on Aamir Khan wedding criticism and age

Responding to the backlash, Rakhee told Variety India, "What is wrong with marrying at 60? Robert de Niro has been married twice and is now in a relationship (with partner Tiffany Chen), with whom he shares a daughter born in 2023. They had a child when he was more than 80 years old. Happiness in a marriage is not about age."

Rakhee linked the debate over Aamir Khan wedding criticism to her own life, recalling that lyricist and filmmaker Gulzar was almost 40 when they married. The couple wed on 15 May 1973 in a grand Bollywood ceremony, and their daughter Meghna Gulzar was born later the same year, which Rakhee cited as evidence that personal timelines differ.

Known for roles in Kabhi Kabhie, Kaala Patthar, Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Border and Badshah, Rakhee also commented on Aamir’s conduct away from film sets. The actor said that although there has never been a professional collaboration, Aamir is regarded as very sincere, and the respectful friendships maintained with Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao after divorce reflect positively on Aamir’s character.

As conversations continue around the Aamir Khan wedding, the ceremony is expected to remain low-key despite intense public focus. The plans for 5 July stay unchanged, and Rakhee’s remarks add a prominent industry voice arguing that age or marital history should not overshadow personal happiness or mutual readiness.
