Rakhee Gulzar Defends Aamir Khan's Decision to Marry Gauri Spratt at 61

Rakhee Gulzar, 78, expressed her support for Aamir Khan, highlighting that age should not be a barrier to love and companionship. Speaking to Variety India, the acclaimed actress dismissed critics questioning Khan's age for remarrying.

"What is wrong with marrying at 60?" Gulzar questioned, adding, "Robert De Niro has been married twice and is now in a relationship with Tiffany Chen, with whom he has a daughter born in 2023. He became a father again when he was over 80. Happiness in a marriage is not about age." She further cited her own experience, stating, "I got married when Gulzar was almost 40."

Despite not having worked with Aamir Khan, Rakhee praised his character and his ability to maintain cordial relationships with his ex-wives. "I am not in touch with the goings-on in the film industry, nor have I worked with Aamir Khan. But I do know he is a very sincere person. And I love the way he has maintained his friendship with his two wives, Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, even after the marriages ended. It says a lot about him," she remarked.
