Bollywood’s self-styled “Mr. Perfectionist” is a married man again, and this time it’s not his outfit’s cut or colour that has fans talking — it’s a single accessory. Aamir Khan tied the knot with longtime partner Gauri Spratt on July 5 in a low-key ceremony at his Bandra residence in Mumbai, and a heavy silver anklet peeking out from beneath his dhoti has quickly become the most-discussed detail of the entire event.
Inside Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt’s Intimate Wedding
Dear Amir Bhai & Gauri,

So happy for you both, congratulations once again! pic.twitter.com/b6NVEoUw34
Unlike the star-studded, multi-day extravaganzas that Bollywood weddings are typically known for, Aamir and Gauri chose to keep their celebration deliberately small and personal. The couple registered their marriage under the Special Marriage Act before hosting a private ceremony at Aamir’s Pali Hill home, attended by close family and a select circle of friends.
The guest list stayed close to 150 people, with several relatives travelling in from abroad for the occasion. Reflecting the actor’s long-known preference for privacy over spectacle, the wedding avoided the scale and publicity typically associated with celebrity nuptials of this stature.
Adding a heartwarming touch to the event, the couple reportedly left the wedding menu entirely in the hands of their children, who curated the cuisine themselves. Aamir’s three children — Junaid Khan, Ira Khan and Azad Rao Khan — were present, along with Gauri’s young son from a previous marriage, making it very much a blended-family affair.
Aamir Khan’s Wedding Outfit: Simplicity With a Surprise Twist
Aamir opted for an understated ivory-toned dhoti-kurta for the ceremony, finished with a statement brooch pinned to his chest and his familiar black-rimmed spectacles. The overall look leaned traditional and minimal — right up until guests and onlookers spotted the accessory nobody expected.

But what is that thick metal anklet-like ornament he is wearing on one of his legs? Why is Aamir Khan wearing it? Is it part of any particular tradition or wedding ritual? pic.twitter.com/UlqXMYPXB5
A chunky silver anklet, visible beneath the hem of his dhoti in videos from the celebration, quickly overtook the rest of his outfit in online conversation. In Indian tradition, the payal is most commonly associated with brides, which made Aamir’s choice to wear one stand out as an unconventional and highly personalised style statement. Fashion commentators and fans online have read it as a small but deliberate departure from convention on an otherwise conventional wedding day.
Gauri Spratt’s Bridal Look
Gauri Spratt matched the occasion’s understated elegance in a heavily embroidered ivory ensemble featuring a full-sleeved blouse with delicate cutwork detailing. She completed her bridal look with a layered, antique-style neckpiece, matching earrings and a sleek bracelet. Her hair was styled into a low bun and adorned with fresh white flowers, while her makeup stayed soft and natural, with a nude lip and dewy finish rounding off the bridal aesthetic.
Who Attended the Wedding
While the couple kept the celebration intimate, a handful of familiar faces from the entertainment world were present, including former cricketer Irfan Pathan, comedian Vir Das, filmmakers Ashutosh Gowariker and Rajkumar Hirani, along with actresses Rhea Chakraborty and Elli AvrRam. Photographs of guests arriving and leaving the Bandra venue circulated widely on social media through the day, even as the ceremony itself remained closed to media coverage.
A Love Story Two Decades in the Making
Aamir and Gauri’s relationship traces back roughly 25 years, when the two first met and later lost touch, only to reconnect and build a friendship that eventually turned romantic. Gauri, a wellness coach and entrepreneur, moved from Bengaluru to Mumbai following the relationship going public and has since become associated with Aamir Khan Productions.
In comments about the wedding, Aamir has described the day as deeply special for both families, expressing gratitude for the new chapter beginning in his life.
The Bigger Picture
At a time when Bollywood weddings are often synonymous with designer trousseaus, destination venues and elaborate social media rollouts, Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt’s decision to keep things small feels notably countercultural. Yet it’s the accessory that nobody planned to trend — a simple anklet — that has ended up defining the conversation around the wedding, proving once again that the smallest details often leave the biggest impression.
