Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who recently got married for the third time at the age of 60, has landed in a controversy on Saturday after getting hitched to Gauri Spratt on July 5, 2026. The Hindu outfit, Bajrang Dal, staged a protest in Bihar’s Forbesganj, against his third marriage to Spratt, alleging that he had been promoting ‘Love Jihad.’
The demonstrators burnt his effigy, raised slogans demanding action against him and levelled a string of allegations against the actor. However, Khan has not issued any response regarding the accusations.

Slogans of Aamir Khan Murdabad raised
The Bajrang Dal members congregated in Forbesganj, where they burnt an effigy of Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist, while hailing slogans of ‘Aamir Khan Murdabad’ and ‘Aamir Khan Jihadi Bharat Chodo.’ As per reports, the protests unfolded in light of Khan's marriage to Gauri Spratt and demonstrators alleged that the actor deliberately picked up Hindu women for marriage.
Speaking to the media amid the demonstration, Bajrang Dal leader Manoj Soni alleged that Khan had repeatedly married Hindu women with the intention of insulting the Hindu society. He added that Khan was part of a larger conspiracy aimed at weakening the Hindu community, and warned of dire consequences if such actions continued.
Furthermore, he also questioned why the actor had chosen Hindu females as partners instead of women from the Muslim community. He urged both the judiciary and the government to subject Khan to strict action, accusing him of trying to disrupt communal harmony in the country.
However, no such complaint has been filed with the police regarding the claims and the demonstrations.
