Aamir Khan flaunts chunky anklet at his wedding with Gauri Spratt. Here's why it has everyone talking

When Aamir Khan married Gauri Spratt in an intimate ceremony at his Mumbai home, most eyes were on the couple's understated ivory ensembles. But it wasn't the dhoti or kurta that sparked conversation.

It was the chunky silver anklet peeking out from beneath Aamir's traditional attire.

The actor paired an ivory silk kurta with a matching dhoti, chose to remain barefoot for the ceremony, and wore a heavy silver anklet around one ankle. This piece quickly became one of the most discussed details from the wedding, with videos and photographs circulating widely across social media.

Why men wearing anklets isn't entirely new

Although uncommon in contemporary menswear, anklets have a long history among men in the Indian subcontinent.

Historical sculptures, temple carvings and royal portraits depict kings, warriors and dancers wearing various forms of jewellery, including anklets, armlets and elaborate necklaces. Over time, many of these ornaments gradually became associated primarily with women's fashion.

Today, however, designers and celebrities have increasingly begun revisiting traditional jewellery without rigid gender labels.

Keeping it understated

Unlike celebrity weddings known for extravagant couture and oversized jewels, Aamir and Gauri kept their ceremony remarkably simple. Gauri wore an elegant ivory lehenga with minimal jewellery, while Aamir's outfit focused on clean silhouettes and subtle craftsmanship. Against such a restrained palette, the oxidised silver anklet naturally became the defining element of his ensemble.

Aamir Khan has built much of his career on taking unconventional paths, whether through the films he chooses or the causes he supports. His fashion has often reflected the same mindset.

From confidently sporting a nose pin years before it became part of celebrity style conversations to now wearing an anklet on one of the biggest days of his life, the actor has consistently shown that jewellery doesn't have to be dictated by gender.

If anything, his wedding look was a quiet reminder that sometimes, the smallest accessory can make the biggest statement.
