Reacting to criticism surrounding Aamir Khan's reported third marriage, Rakhee Gulzar questioned why age should matter in relationships. "What is wrong with marrying at 60?" Rakhee also pointed to her marriage with filmmaker Gulzar, saying he was nearly 40 when they tied the knot in 1973.

Veteran actress Rakhee Gulzar, known for her memorable performances in films such as Kabhi Kabhie, Kaala Patthar, Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Border and Badshah, has reacted to the criticism surrounding Aamir Khan over his reported plans to marry girlfriend Gauri Spratt for the third time at the age of 60.

Rakhee Gulzar Defends Aamir Khan Amid 3rd Marriage Criticism

While reports about the couple's future plans have generated excitement among fans, they have also sparked criticism from some quarters, with several social media users questioning the idea of the actor getting married for a third time at 60. Reacting to the backlash, Rakhee told Variety India, "What is wrong with marrying at 60? Robert de Niro has been married twice and is now in a relationship (with partner Tiffany Chen), with whom he shares a daughter born in 2023. They had a child when he was more than 80 years old. Happiness in a marriage is not about age."

Citing her own example, Rakhee pointed out that she married lyricist and filmmaker Gulzar when he was nearly 40 years old. The couple tied the knot on May 15, 1973, in a grand Bollywood wedding, and welcomed their daughter, Meghna Gulzar, later that same year.
