Aamir Khan's daughter Ira will get married to Nupur Shikhare on January 3. Sharing the news with News 18 earlier, Aamir Khan told, "Ira is getting married on January 3. The boy she has chosen is - waise toh pet name unka naam Popeye hai (his pet name is Popeye) - he is a trainer, he has arms like Popeye but his name is Nupur. He is a lovely boy. When Ira was battling depression, he was with her. He is really someone who has stood by her and emotionally supported her. I am happy that she has selected a boy who... they are so happy together. They are very well connected, they really look after each other and care for each other."
Aamir Khan also added, "This might be a filmy dialogue but I feel Nupur is like a son. Nupur is such a fine boy, we really feel he's part of the family and his mother, Pritamji, is someone who is already a part of our family." Asked if he is going to be emotional at the wedding, Aamir said, "Main toh bada emotional hota hoon bhai, uss din main bahut rone waala hoon yeh toh tay hai (I get very emotional. I will cry a lot on that day, for sure). Discussions have already begun in the family that 'Aamir ko samhalna uss din (take care of Aamir that day)' because I am very emotional. I can't control my smile nor my tears."

Saw 3 boats functioning already. Great work by TN govt in such testing times. Thanks to all the administrative people who are working relentlessly." Take a look:
