Mumbai: In the ever-entertaining world of Bollywood, where personal lives often make bigger headlines than films, veteran actor and comedian Shekhar Suman has once again proven his mastery over sharp satire. On his popular YouTube talk show Shekhar Tonite, Suman took a humorous swipe at Aamir Khan’s recent third marriage, leaving audiences in splits with his trademark political wordplay.
Aamir Khan, fondly known as the “Perfectionist” of Bollywood, tied the knot with wellness entrepreneur Gauri Spratt on July 5, 2026, in an intimate ceremony at his Bandra residence in Mumbai. The low-key wedding was attended by his ex-wives Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, along with close family members. This marked the Dangal star’s third marriage, following his previous unions with Reena (1986-2002) and Kiran Rao (2005-2021).
During the monologue, Shekhar Suman quipped, “Our government can’t run a double engine smoothly, and he’s running a triple engine now. The remark cleverly referenced the double engine political slogan often used in Indian politics, drawing a parallel to Aamir’s personal life. Suman further joked that Aamir has formed a third government and turned into an “NDA sarkar,” blending humour with current political lingo.
The light-hearted dig comes amid mixed reactions to Aamir’s wedding. While fans celebrated the actor’s happiness, the interfaith aspect of the marriage triggered protests by certain groups, including Bajrang Dal, who raised “Love Jihad” concerns. Despite the controversy, Aamir maintained a dignified silence, focusing on his personal joy.
Shekhar Suman’s commentary reflects the Bollywood insider’s unique ability to turn real-life events into relatable entertainment. Known for his fearless and witty takes, Suman has previously roasted several celebrities and political figures on his show.
Aamir Khan, now 61, continues to command respect for his cinematic contributions, from Lagaan and 3 Idiots to PK and Dangal. His personal life, however, has always invited public curiosity. Whether it’s his perfectionist approach to films or relationships, the actor remains unapologetically himself.
In an industry where marriages and divorces are dissected endlessly, Shekhar Suman’s “triple engine” punchline serves as a reminder that laughter is often the best way to navigate headlines. As fans await Aamir’s next cinematic venture, one thing is certain — the Perfectionist’s life continues to run on all engines.
