Following his introduction of his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, on the eve of his 60th birthday, Aamir Khan is currently making headlines. The actor, who first brought Gauri to the attention of the public, asked everyone to respect his ladylove’s privacy by refraining from sharing any images of her online. The actor further disclosed that he had been friends with Gauri for 25 years.

Aamir disclosed to the public that Gauri is not a Bollywood enthusiast and hasn’t seen many of his movies. When asked how he fell in love with Gauri, Aamir said that he had lost contact with her after they had crossed paths 25 years prior. Years passed before the two were able to get back in touch. Aamir explained his feelings for her by saying: “I was looking for someone I can be calm with, who gives me peace. And there she was.”

Over the course of their 18-month romance, Aamir and Gauri have been the subject of numerous media rumors. Gauri, a mother of a six-year-old, was unable to resist falling in love with Aamir because she admired his kind demeanor toward her. Saying, “I wanted someone who was kind, a gentleman, and just caring,” Gauri shared her preferences for Aamir. After hearing what she had to say, Aamir added:

“And after all that, you found me?”

Gauri hasn’t watched much of Aamir’s work and doesn’t get the Bollywood craziness. Aamir revealed in the same media exchange that Gauri had a different cinematic upbringing and saw him more as a partner than a superstar. In his own words:

She was exposed to a variety of films and artistic mediums while growing up in Bangalore. She therefore avoids seeing Hindi movies. It’s likely that she hasn’t seen much of my work either. She views me as a partner rather than a superstar.
