Aamir Khan turns 60 today, and it almost feels like the actor is ageing backwards. Clearly, we aren't the only ones feeling this since the PK star in a presser he held on the eve of his birthday shared that he has merely turned "16", and sometimes calls 30-year-olds "uncle".
Age is clearly no bar for the actor, who introduced the world to his current partner Gauri Spratt.
The actor who hard-launched his relationship at the presser sang Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Main from the movie Kabhi Kabhi, for his lady love.
"Gauri and I met 25 years ago and now, we are partners. We are very serious and committed to each other. We have been together for a year and a half," Aamir told film journalists on Thursday.
Spratt is an Anglo-Indian. Her father is Tamil-British, and her mother is Punjabi-Irish. Gauri, when asked about her identity, proudly says 'Indian.'
Spratt's grandfather was a British who fought for India's freedom struggle and historian Ramachandra Guha has written about him, Aamir revealed.
Spratt was re-introduced to Aamir through his cousin, and the two hit it off, exchanging numbers. They now live together, and Khan said he was happy and committed in his relationship though fending off questions about a marriage.
She is mother to a six-year-old boy and had seen two of Khan's films -- Lagaan and Dangal prior to meeting him.
