Aamir Khan's sister Nikhat Hegde says family is 'very happy' with his girlfriend Gauri Spratt

Nikhat Khan Hegde shared the family's reaction to Gauri after Aamir revealed they had been dating during a meet-and-greet before his 60th birthday.

On Thursday, Nikhat attended the trailer launch of her upcoming Malayalam film, L2: Empuraan, in Mumbai. On the sidelines of the event, Nikhat spoke to Times Applaud Trends and talked about Aamir and Gauri. “Hum log bahut khush hain Aamir ke liye aur Gauri ke liye bhi kyunki woh bahut hi achi insaan hain, aur hum bahut chahte hain ke ye log dono khush rahein hamesha hamesha (We’re very happy for Aamir and Gauri as she is a great human being. We want them to stay happy always).”

Interestingly, the L2: Empuraan trailer launch event saw a mention of Aamir on the stage, too, when director Prithviraj Sukumaran praised Nikhat's work in the film. "I did not know she was Aamir sir's sister. I know Aamir sir quite well. When the audition tapes came through, I told Priyatama, my casting director, that 'I want her (Nikhat)'. She (Priyatama) said, 'Oh yeah, she's wonderful. By the way, she's also Aamir sir's sister.' I said, 'Really?' Then I called Aamir sir...He (Aamir) just messaged me asking 'Is my sister good in the film?' So, I said, 'Sir, she's a lot better than good'," the actor-director told reporters at the event.
