Aamir Khan gifts Gauri Spratt rare aquamarine ring ahead of QWEEN launch

Ahead of its official launch this May, QWEEN has already found its very first customer, Aamir Khan. The actor and filmmaker recently commissioned two bespoke rings for Gauri Spratt, custom-crafted by QWEEN, India’s first self-discovery, 100% natural, experiential luxury jewellery brand, backed by Rosy Blue and Kashikey.

Aamir Khan has also come on board as a strategic investor in QWEEN, making it both a personal gesture and a reflection of his belief in the brand. While celebrities often invest in brands or lend their names to them, it is far rarer for that investment to translate into personally purchasing from the brand for such an intimate moment, a gesture that signals Aamir’s genuine faith in QWEEN and its creations.

When Gauri Spratt was recently spotted wearing a striking aquamarine ring, the luminous ocean-blue gemstone immediately drew attention for its unusual colour and distinctive design. The piece, it turns out, was privately commissioned by Aamir Khan.

Instead of choosing a single ring to represent the moment, Aamir Khan chose to create two separate rings. The gesture reflects the belief that a single emotion rarely defines love. Rather than capturing a relationship in a single symbol, the two rings express the balance of energies that coexist within every bond. The rings feature an aquamarine and a ruby, gemstones selected not only for their beauty but also for the rarity and symbolism they carry.

At the centre of the aquamarine ring sits a luminous blue gemstone prized for its exceptional quality and rarity. Aquamarines of this size and purity represent less than 0.3% of stones discovered globally. Sourced from the depths of Brazil, the aquamarine is set in gold and encircled by 40 natural diamonds that form a radiant halo around the centre stone. The piece was brought to life through more than 363 hours of craftsmanship at QWEEN’s Mumbai factory, with 131 pairs of masterful hands contributing to the creation of the rings.

The second ring features a natural ruby sourced from Madagascar, an origin known for producing some of the world’s most sought-after rubies, celebrated for their depth of colour and natural intensity. Less than 0.1% of rubies achieve this level of quality. The ruby is set in a prong setting and required over 812 hours of craftsmanship to complete. Together, the two gemstones express a powerful duality. The ruby symbolises passion, intensity, and enduring devotion, while the aquamarine reflects clarity and emotional depth. Fire and water, two energies that often coexist within every relationship.

EXCLUSIVE: Bhooth Bangla expected to be approx. 2 hours 50 minutes long; among Akshay Kumar's longest films since Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty

Bollywood Hungama was among the first to inform readers that the Akshay Kumar-starrer Bhooth Bangla, scheduled to release on April 10, might be delayed and arrive in cinemas on April 17. The suspense over its release date continues, as the makers have yet to make an official announcement. Moreover, the trailer, which was initially expected on March 27 and later rescheduled for March 30, has not been unveiled. This has only further fuelled speculation that the horror-comedy has indeed been pushed ahead. Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama has now learned about the film’s run time.

A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Bhooth Bangla is around 2 hours and 50 minutes long. After the censor process, the run time may reduce or increase by a few minutes. The exact duration will be known closer to the release date, but as of now, it is said to be around 170 minutes.”

If Bhooth Bangla indeed ends up with a run time of 2 hours and 50 minutes, it will be among Akshay Kumar’s longest films in the last 12 years. In this period, most of his films have had shorter durations, usually under 150 minutes. The last Akshay Kumar starrer with a similar run time was Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014), which was also 2 hours and 50 minutes long.

After the A R Murugadoss-directed action entertainer, only 11 Akshay Kumar films have had run times of 2 hours and 30 minutes or more – Baby (2015; 2 hours and 39 minutes), Brothers (2015; 2 hours and 38 minutes), Rustom (2016; 2 hours and 30 minutes), Toilet - Ek Prem Katha (2017; 2 hours and 41 minutes), Gold (2018; 2 hours and 33 minutes), Kesari (2019; 2 hours and 30 minutes), OMG 2 (2023; 2 hours and 36 minutes), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2014; 2 hours and 38 minutes), Sarfira (2024; 2 hours and 35 minutes), Housefull 5 (2025; 2 hours and 45 minutes) and Jolly LLB 3 (2025; 2 hours and 37 minutes).

Last year, Akshay Kumar was also seen in Kannappa (2025), which was 3 hours and 3 minutes long. However, it hasn’t been added to the aforementioned list as it was a Telugu film and featured Akshay in a special appearance.
