What began as a chance encounter during the Chennai floods in 2023 has now blossomed into a deep, meaningful friendship. Bollywood actor Aamir Khan and Tamil star Vishnu Vishal were both stranded in the same locality along Old Mahabalipuram Road. That moment of shared adversity unexpectedly laid the foundation for a bond that would later transform the lives of Vishnu and his wife, badminton champion Jwala Gutta.
A Silent Struggle With IVF
For nearly two years, Vishnu and Jwala had been trying to start a family. Due to Jwala’s age—she is now 41—the couple faced multiple failed IVF attempts. Vishnu recently opened up about this difficult chapter during an interview with Galatta Plus, revealing that after five to six unsuccessful cycles, they had almost given up hope of having a child.
During this challenging time, Vishnu confided in Aamir Khan. Recognizing the couple's distress, Aamir immediately offered his help, urging them to come to Mumbai for further treatment. He personally recommended a doctor and opened his home to Jwala during her treatment, allowing her to stay with his mother and sisters for nearly 10 months. Throughout this time, Aamir treated them like family, with Vishnu frequently travelling between cities while Jwala remained under Aamir’s care.
A Miracle and a Promise Fulfilled
Eventually, after a couple more IVF cycles in Mumbai, Jwala successfully conceived. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Vishnu decided that Aamir should have the honour of naming their baby. True to his word, Aamir flew to Hyderabad for the naming ceremony and bestowed the name Mira on the couple’s daughter.
Sharing a heartfelt note on X (formerly Twitter), Vishnu expressed how Mira symbolises unconditional love and peace. He thanked Aamir for not only naming their daughter but for playing an instrumental role in making her birth possible. Jwala also shared a touching post featuring Aamir holding baby Mira, stating that the journey would not have been possible without him.
Fans Laud Aamir’s Gesture
The story has drawn emotional reactions from fans across the country, with many hailing Aamir Khan as a 'godfather' figure and admiring his humility and compassion. Comments on social media reflected appreciation for his kindness, with several referring to him affectionately as “Maamu.”
This heartwarming story is a rare glimpse into the personal lives of celebrities where compassion goes beyond fame. What started during a natural disaster turned into an enduring friendship and a life-changing support system. Aamir Khan's gesture has left an indelible mark on Vishnu Vishal and Jwala Gutta’s lives, reminding many of the power of empathy.
Current Projects
On the professional front, Aamir Khan is enjoying the success of Sitaare Zameen Par, a film that has grossed over ₹233 crore globally. He is also set to appear in a cameo role in Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, featuring stars like Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna.
Vishnu Vishal is preparing for the release of his upcoming Tamil film Oho Enthan Baby, scheduled to hit theatres on July 11, and will mark Mithila Palkar’s Tamil debut.
