Junaid Khan tested Nupur Shikhare with a drinking challenge before approving him for his sister, Ira Khan. Ira and Nupur married in January 2024, celebrating in Mumbai and Udaipur.
Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan, and her longtime partner, Nupur Shikhare, married in January 2024.
Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan, opened up about the unique way he put his sister Ira Khan’s now-husband, Nupur Shikhare, to the test before approving of him. As an elder brother, Junaid had a simple rule—anyone who wanted to be with Ira had to survive a drinking challenge with him! While this test had never been put into action before, Nupur was the first to take it on, and the story of their first meeting is nothing short of hilarious.
In an interview with Hauterrfly, Junaid shared that his deal with Ira was clear — she could date whoever she wanted, but they had to sit through a drinking contest with him. “So we started and at one point he was like ‘Junaid, you know, I’m actually done’. So I’m saying first there’s maturity over there. So I said ‘Okay you take this shot, I’ll not take a shot, so then you’ve won’. So he took the shot and he won, and Ira took a video of it and it was very sweet and this and that and the other. He spends the rest of the night on the bathroom floor, Ira next to him. That was also really sweet! Then I picked him up and put him in bed, and then he cuddled with me all night because he was in my bed (laughs).”
Junaid went on to explain why he came up with this unusual test, saying, “That has been my deal with my sister, always. Idea being that she should see them at their drunkest, when they have been hammered.”
Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan, and her longtime partner, Nupur Shikhare, celebrated their union with a series of wedding events in January 2024. The couple officially registered their marriage on January 3, 2024, at the Taj Lands End Hotel in Mumbai, in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends. Following the registration, Ira and Nupur hosted a grand wedding celebration in Udaipur on January 8, 2024.

To conclude their wedding celebrations, the couple held a lavish reception on January 13, 2024, at the Lotus Ballroom in Jio World Center, Mumbai. The event was graced by numerous Bollywood celebrities, making it a star-studded affair.
