certainly
is
very
rich.

and

a
distinguished

officer,
served
as
director

of
the

Her
great
maternal
grandfather

Singaravelu
established
the
first
ever
trade

in
India
in
1918.
On

They
lost
touch
over
the
years
but
were
re-introduced
to
each
other
a
few
years
ago
through
Aamir’s
cousin.
That’s
when
Gauri
and
Khan
hit
it
off,
exchanged
numbers
and
eventually
started
dating.
Aamir
and
Gauri
have
been
together
for
18

he
is
happily
committed
in
his
relationship
with
Gauri.
