Aamir Khan is the greatest gift God has given me-Vishnu Vishal

Aamir Khan brought back joy into Jwala and my life: Vishnu Vishal

Neeshita Nyayapati (HINDUSTAN TIMES; October 29, 2025)

On actor-producer Vishnu Vishal and badminton player Jwala Gutta’s (42) fourth wedding anniversary on April 22 this year, the couple was blessed with a baby girl. Interestingly, the baby’s name, Mira, was given by actor Aamir Khan, who had attended her naamkaran ceremony in July.

Vishnu shares that his and Jwala’s bond with Aamir goes back to 2023, when Aamir’s mother, Zeenat Hussain, was undergoing treatment for an unspecified illness in Chennai. “Aamir was in production for a movie then, and they needed me to find a home stay instead of a hotel for 2-3 months so his team would find enough space to work. I remember arranging villas for them to stay, and we became friends from there,” Vishnu recollects.

Calling Aamir “the greatest gift God has given” him, Vishnu explains that their relationship deepened beyond friendship. Jwala, who had almost given up on having children and had been exploring adoption, received unexpected help from Aamir. “He (Aamir) helped us find a good doctor in Mumbai for IVF treatment for Jwala. And when she became pregnant, it made us very emotional because she had almost given up… he brought back joy into our lives. He treated us like nothing less than family,” says Vishnu.

“Jwala was in Mumbai with his family for almost ten months, and his mom and sister took care of her personally. That bond has now evolved into a close friendship. When Jwala became pregnant, I told Aamir he should be the one to name our baby, because he was the one to give us hope,” he adds.

Speaking about the new chapter in his life, Vishnu shares, “Life is pretty good now. I finally have what I’ve always wished for.”

I don't really care about the rumours-Harshvardhan Rane

Telugu actor Harshvardhan Rane who has been in the news for his closeness to glamorous badminton player and Hyderabad girl, Jwala Gutta, guffaws when prodded about their relationship. "Unfortunately, I have been single for the last eight years. The only girl I have ever dated is now my best buddy's girlfriend. The three of us actually live together," he states matter-of-factly.

Harsh admits that while he loves playing badminton, he values his privacy and makes very few social appearances. "And since all these appearances were with Jwala, people have linked us. I don't really care about the rumours. Jwala's a wonderful person to be around. She's just won two more medals for the country. I enjoy her company and I'm not going to stop playing badminton because people are talking about us," he asserts.

The actor has featured in nine Telugu hits and is set for a Bollywood debut this year along with Pakistani beauty Mawra Hocane in Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao's romance drama, Sanam Teri Kasam. He recalls how he ran away from home at 16 and worked at a cyber cafe-cum-STD booth; eventually moving to Mumbai to sell DVDs. "Finally, I landed a role in the TV show, Left Right Left, which reminded me of Shah Rukh Khan and how he too had debuted on screen with a TV show," he reminisces.

Harsh has also wrapped up a John Abraham production, Satra Ko Shaadi Hai. Prod him on whether he plans to juggle Telugu and Hindi films and he retorts, "I don't plan so I don't know what's next. The popcorn everywhere is the same, right? So Telugu, Hindi or Marathi film, it makes no difference to me," he retorts.

The cast of Anthony D’Souza’s Azhar, the biopic on the life of cricketing icon Mohammed Azharuddin, gets more intriguing every week. After signing Emraan Hashmi in the title role, Prachi Desai as his first wife and Nargis Fakhri as his second wife, the film’s producers have now roped in Huma Qureshi to play another significant role.

It’s the role of a third female protagonist, apparently based on badminton player Jwala Gutta, who was to be played earlier by Nimrat Kaur.

Tabloids were abuzz some years ago with news of the cricketer’s friendship with the badminton champ. The role has apparently been modified to suit the script. And no, Huma won’t be shown playing badminton.

While Nimrat opted out for “date reasons” Huma has no such issues.
