Mumbai/IBNS: "Bhuvan has finally found his Gauri," commented Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan in reference to his iconic film Lagaan while introducing his girlfriend Gauri Spratt with whom he has been dating for about 18 months.

Aamir introduced his girlfriend on Thursday on the eve of his 60th birthday in an informal meeting in Mumbai.

The two interacted with the media but Aamir requested the media not to capture her pictures for privacy.

The couple talked about their journey with Aamir informing the journalists that the two have known each other for the last 25 years.

They reconnected a couple of years ago.

Addressing the media, Aamir playfully noted how well they had kept their romance under the wraps, saying, "See, I didn’t let you guys find out, did I?"

Who is Gauri Spratt?

Gauri, who is from Bengaluru, is half Tamilian and half Irish.

She is the mother of a six-year-old son.

Gauri holds an FDA in styling, photography and fashion from the University of the Arts London.

She is also the consulting designer and buyer and runs a salon in Mumbai.

Gauri is working in production with Aamir Khan.

Aamir's marital journey

Before his relationship with Gauri, Aamir was married twice. He first wed Reena Dutta, with whom he shares two children, Junaid and Ira. Later, he married filmmaker Kiran Rao, and they have a son, Azad.

Though Aamir and Kiran announced their separation a few years ago, they maintain an amicable relationship, co-parenting their son and working together professionally.
