doesn’t
see
me
as
a
superstar
but
as
a
partner.’

They
may
have
been
dating
for
18
months
but
Aamir
Khan
and
Gauri
Spratt
have
known
each
other
for
25
years.
So
how
did
she
fall
in
love
with
him?
‘I
wanted
someone
who
was
kind,
a
gentleman
and
just
caring,’
Gauri
said,
as
quoted
by
NDTV.
And
Aamir
seemed
to
meet
all
her
expectations.
The
46-year-old
lady
from
Bengaluru
may
have
known
Aamir
socially
but
was
not
well
acquainted
with
his
movies,
having
seen
just
two
— Lagaan
and
Dil
Chahta
Hai,
both
2001
releases.
Still,
Gauri
looked
at
ease
with
the
media
when
she
was
introduced
at
his
60th
birthday
celebrations,
a
day
before
his
birthday
on
March
14.
‘I
was
looking
for
someone
I
can
be
calm
with,
who
gives
me
peace.
And
there
she
was,’
Aamir
said
about
his
lady
love. ‘She
doesn’t
see
me
as
a
superstar
but
as
a
partner.’
