Aamir KhanLagaan’s best friend and co-star Amen Hajee shared some heartwarming details about the superstar’s private wedding to Gauri Spratt, giving fans a glimpse of the intimate celebration and Aamir:His life is far from the spotlight.Speaking to Rediff, Amin opened up about everything, from Aamir first introducing Gauri to his closest friends to the actor’s growing relationship with his five-year-old son Quinn. He also defended Aamir against criticism of his personal life, saying that the actor has always handled his relationships with honesty and responsibility.
“It feels like a big family”
Describing the wedding celebrations, Amin said the most important thing was the warmth and relaxation everyone felt.“I think the best part is that we all met a day before the wedding, like how friends gather for lunch. It was a casual evening where Aamir invited his best friends. Gauri’s family was there too; they are warm and beautiful people,” he said.According to Amin, there are no elaborate ceremonies or traditional rituals.“The wedding was held at Aamir’s house. We didn’t follow any traditional wedding rituals. Many people asked if there would be a sangeet or other ceremonies, but there wasn’t.He also shared that Gauri’s father Robert “Bob” Spratt, her twin sister Shauna, and other family members attended the celebrations.
‘I think I found my magic’
Amin revealed that Aamir had told his closest friends about Gauri almost a year before introducing her to the public.“About a year ago, Aamir invited some of us to his house and said, ‘I want to talk to you about something.’ He told us that there is someone special in his life. Aamir is a very emotional person, and I remember him having tears of joy in his eyes.“He said, ‘I think I found my magic.'”Amin said that Aamir was also happy to talk about Quinn and his respect for Gauri and her son from the beginning.
“He always moved on responsibly”
Amin also addressed the public conversation surrounding Aamir’s past relationships with Reena Dutta and: Kiran Raosaying the actor deserves more credit than he gets.“I have known Aamir for over 35 years, and I have always admired his respect for the institution of marriage. Many people become cynical after a failed relationship, but not him. He has always treated marriage with dignity.”He added, “People always joke about his personal life, but what they don’t see is how honest and fair he is. Every time he moves on in life, he does it responsibly. He always makes sure that his former family and children are taken care of. Few people recognize it. “Amin also said that he has personally seen Aamir suffering from grief. “People joke about him finding love again after so many years, but 15 years is a long time. I’ve seen him suffer from grief. I’ve seen him cry. Relationships are never as simple as outsiders think.”
“Gauri is an angel”
Talking about Gauri, Amin has nothing but praise.“He’s an angel. He’s a mature and thoughtful person.”He recalled a conversation that stuck with him.“He told me, ‘I have a son who needs my attention and love. I have to make sure I find the right balance in this new phase of my life.’ That is a responsible thing to say. “Amin also revealed that both Aamir and Gauri stood by him through a recent health scare. Before his heart procedure, Gauri comforted him by saying, “When you sit quietly by yourself, remind yourself that everything is going to be okay.”After the operation, he said, “He held my hand, looked into my eyes, and simply smiled. It was a small gesture, but it meant a lot to me.”
Aamir’s sweet relationship with Quinn
One of the most touching moments Amin shared was about Aamir and Quinn’s relationship.“Quinn is only five years old, and she only calls him ‘Aamir’. They haven’t even started dating, it’s been like this for over a year.”He recalls a night in Panchgani when Aamir was in the middle of an important conversation.“Then Quinn asked Aamir to read him a bedtime story. Without hesitation, Aamir looked at us and said, ‘Guys, I’ll be back,’ and immediately got up to read Quinn his bedtime story.”For Amin, moments like these perfectly capture who Aamir is in front of the cameras, a devoted partner, a caring father figure, and someone who makes time for the people who matter most.
