Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has once again become the center of controversy following his third wedding. On July 5, the actor married his partner, Gauri Spratt. However, the celebration has been overshadowed by intense public backlash, particularly in the Forbesganj region of Bihar, where members of Bajrang Dal organized vocal demonstrations against the actor.
The Protests and Allegations
During the protest, workers from the organization burned an effigy of Aamir Khan while shouting slogans such as 'Aamir Khan Murdabad' and 'Aamir Khan Jihadi Bharat Chhodo.' The incident, which was documented in a video that has gone viral on social media, reflects the deep resentment held by the protesters. Manoj Soni, a leader within the Bajrang Dal, stated that by repeatedly marrying Hindu women, the actor is consistently insulting the Hindu community. Soni alleged that Aamir Khan is part of a larger conspiracy aimed at weakening the Hindu population, and he warned the actor that he would face consequences if he did not cease such activities.
Accusations of Love Jihad
The protests have been fueled by accusations of Love Jihad, a term used by the group to describe the actor's marital choices. Manoj Soni openly questioned why the actor chooses to marry Hindu women instead of partners from his own community. He accused the actor of trying to disrupt the social harmony of the country and urged both the court and the government to take immediate legal action against him. The rhetoric used by the protestors emphasizes a strong demand for accountability regarding the actor's private life and its perceived impact on societal values.
A History of Marriages
This is the third time Aamir Khan has entered into matrimony. His first marriage was in 1986 to Reena Dutta, which ended in divorce in 2002. Following this, in 2005, he married filmmaker Kiran Rao, but the couple separated in 2021. His recent marriage to Gauri Spratt at his residence in Mumbai has become a matter of intense public scrutiny, especially given his past relationship history.
Background of Gauri Spratt
There is significant public interest regarding the background of Aamir Khan's third wife, Gauri Spratt. Reports indicate that her mother is of Tamil descent, while her father is Irish. Her grandfather was a freedom fighter. Professionally, Spratt is a former hairdresser who studied fashion, styling, and photography at the University of Arts, London. She also has a 6-year-old son from a previous relationship, although details regarding her former spouse remain private. At present, she is employed at Aamir Khan's production house, known as Aamir Khan Productions.
