Suhasini Mulay Love Story: Bollywood's 'Mr. Perfectionist' Aamir Khan, at the age of 61, is going to tie the knot with his long-time partner Gauri Spratt for the third time on July 5 this year (2026). Whenever there is talk of love and marriage at this age in the cinema world, people are often surprised. But do you know that the veteran actress who played the role of Aamir Khan's mother (Yashoda Mai) in his all-time blockbuster film 'Lagaan' had demolished these conservative thinking of the society exactly 15 years ago?
Yes, we are talking about famous actress Suhasini Mule. Recently, when he shared some interesting stories related to the film in an interview on the completion of 25 years of the release of 'Lagaan', the story of his unique personal life also went viral again on social media. Many people think that she got married recently, but the truth is that in the year 2011 itself, at the age of 60, she had married seven times with her senior scientist, Professor Atul Gurtu. Let us know this interesting off-screen love story of Aamir Khan's on-screen mother.
Suhasini Mule has always lived on her own terms. When she was 26 years old, her mother asked her if she wanted to get married. Suhasini had clearly said – “I do not want to marry.” People used to taunt her mother that the girl has gone out of control and has become too free-thinking. But Suhasini did not budge. She also had a long-term live-in relationship, which ended in 1990. He spent the next two decades alone.
Suhasini was single till the age of 60 and she had no regrets about it. Then on the advice of a co-star, he created an account on Facebook to find work. One day suddenly a profile suggestion appeared on his screen. That was the profile of the country's well-known physicist, Professor Atul Gurtu.
At that time, Atul was working on 'Large Hadron Collider' (LHC), one of the world's largest scientific projects. Suhasini was interested in science from the beginning, so she posted a message directly on Facebook, “What is this LHC?” From here the conversation started and the matter reached email. When Atul hinted in the conversation that he was looking for a life partner, Suhasini laughed at herself. He thought, “How will that person who has not been found in 60 years be found now?”

In the beginning Suhasini was very cautious. When Atul asked for her phone number, she even said that good girls do not give their numbers to strangers. People also create fake profiles on the internet. After this, Suhasini, like a detective, went to the official website of Atul's office (TIFR) and cross-checked his photo and details. When everything turned out to be correct, then the matter moved forward. Both of them met for the first time in late November, the day after Diwali. Suhasini also deliberately reached there late so that she could see from a distance whether this man looked like her Facebook photo or not!
Suhasini was determined that she would not live with any person who would take away her freedom. Before meeting Atul, it seemed as if she had made these three strict rules for herself: -
Professor Atul passed all these parameters 100%
The bonding between the two was so amazing that after meeting for the first time in late November, they got married exactly 75 days later on 16 January 2011 at the Arya Samaj Temple. When Suhasini called her mother and said, “I have liked a boy”, her mother was surprised. Later, when his mother met Atul in Pune and asked him why marriage at this age? So Atul gave a very beautiful answer. Atul said- Suhasini has been alone all her life and can remain alone in future also. I can also stay. But I want to give happiness a chance in this life. If the relationship doesn't work out, we'll just accept that we made a mistake and separate. This one answer of his won the heart of Suhasini's mother.
The interesting thing is that when the couple went to the court to register their marriage, the clerk there thought that this elderly couple had come to get the certificate of their old marriage re-issued. When Suhasini said that he had come to register the new marriage, the clerk was surprised and asked, what? You and uncle? Hearing this, both of them burst out laughing.
Today when Aamir Khan is going to marry for the third time at the age of 61, people are giving their opinions on social media. Suhasini also believes that society can never be happy. Even when she was young and not getting married, people used to taunt her, and when she got married 15 years ago at the age of 60, people also pointed fingers.
Today Suhasini Mule has turned 75 and a beautiful time of more than 15 years has passed since her marriage with Professor Atul Gurtu. This story of his tells that there is no age to start a new life and find love.
