Guwahati, July 8 -- Aamir Khan has spoken publicly about his relationship with Gauri Spratt, confirming that the two are in a serious and committed partnership.

In an interview with Subhash K Jha for SCREEN, the actor addressed ongoing speculation about his plans to marry Gauri, whom he introduced to the media on his 60th birthday earlier this year.

"Gauri and I are really serious about each other and we are in a very committed space," Aamir said. "We are partners. We are together. In my heart, I'm already married to her. Whether we formalise it or not is something I will decide as we go along."

Aamir revealed in March that he and Gauri had first met 25 years ago but lost contact. They reconnected and began dating around 18 months ago....
