Aamir Khan, who is gearing up for his next film 'Lalkaara', has found himself at the centre of a heated controversy following his recent marriage to Gauri Spratt. The actor, celebrated for his diverse roles and recent string of high-profile projects, is now facing public protests that have overshadowed his cinematic pursuits.

The private ceremony took place at Aamir’s Mumbai residence on July 5, attended only by close family and friends. However, the union quickly drew ire, with the Bajrang Dal staging demonstrations in Bihar and accusing the actor of "Love Jihad" based on his history of marriages to Hindu women. Protesters intensified their campaign by burning an effigy of Aamir Khan and calling for action against him. These dramatic scenes were widely circulated on social media, amplifying the controversy beyond local boundaries.

Notably, Aamir has not issued any public statement in response to these allegations or the viral protests. Despite his personal upheavals—his previous marriages to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao ended in divorce—he is said to maintain amicable ties with his former spouses for the sake of co-parenting his children.

Professionally, Aamir remains committed to 'Lalkaara', a sports drama helmed by Ashutosh Gowariker and inspired by the historic 1952 India-Pakistan Test series, which is expected to begin filming later this year. All eyes are now on how the star will navigate both his personal and professional challenges in the months ahead.
