Aamir Khan Reportedly Set to Marry Gauri Spratt on July 5
MUMBAI, India — Aamir Khan is reportedly preparing to marry Gauri Spratt in a private ceremony on July 5.
The actor and Spratt are expected to have a simple registered marriage at home, attended only by family members and a small group of close friends, according to a source close to Khan. The couple is not expected to host a large reception for the film industry.
No official announcement has been made.
Khan introduced Spratt to the media during his 60th birthday celebrations in March, saying they had known each other for about 25 years before their friendship turned romantic. Spratt is the mother of a 7-year-old son.
Khan was previously married to Reena Dutta, with whom he has two children, Junaid and Ira. The couple separated in 2002. He later married Kiran Rao in 2005, and they have a son, Azad Rao Khan. Khan and Rao separated in 2021.
Taapsee Pannu Shares Bruised Back After Rough-Floor Workout
MUMBAI, India — Taapsee Pannu shared a photo of bruises on her back after doing a workout on a rough floor, warning fans against combining back and core exercises on such surfaces.
“Moral of the story, don’t do back and core together on rough floor!” Pannu wrote on Instagram Stories.
Pannu, known for films including “Pink,” “Badla,” “Thappad” and “Dunki,” was last seen in “Assi,” a courtroom drama directed by Anubhav Sinha.
She is next set to star in Netflix’s “Gandhari,” an action mystery that features her as a mother on a mission. The film also stars Ishwak Singh and marks another collaboration between Pannu and writer-producer Kanika Dhillon, following projects including “Manmarziyaan,” “Haseen Dillruba” and “Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba.”
Pannu married former Danish badminton player Mathias Boe in 2023, followed by a traditional ceremony in 2024.
FWICE Withdraws Non-Cooperation Directive Against Ranveer Singh
MUMBAI, India — The Federation of Western India Cine Employees has withdrawn its non-cooperation directive against actor Ranveer Singh following discussions with several film industry bodies.
Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, chief adviser to FWICE, said the decision was taken after consultations with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association, the Cine and TV Artistes’ Association and the Producers Guild of India.
Pandit said IMPAA had agreed to help resolve the matter, but asked FWICE to first withdraw the directive so the issue could be discussed jointly.
“We appealed to Ranveer also, that please come, let us sort this out. And come to a conclusion so that industry once again thrives,” Pandit said.
He said the broader concern was the impact of actors or technicians leaving projects at the last moment, unless there is an emergency. Such actions, he said, can create mistrust and harm producers, crew members and others whose livelihoods depend on film productions.
Actress Upasana Singh, representing CINTAA, said the matter should be resolved through dialogue rather than legal action.
“We will try our best to sort out the issues. No one should be harmed. Neither the producer, nor the director, nor our actors. Ranveer Singh should not be harmed,” she said.
Singh said the film industry depends on cooperation among actors, directors, producers, technicians and crew members, adding that many families rely on film work for their income.
