Aamir Khan meets Raj Thackeray amid nephew’s October 28 deadline

Aamir Khan’s Sunday meeting with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray would normally read as another friendly stop between two public figures who know each other well. This time, though, the visit to Shivtirth landed while the star’s nephew, actor Imran Khan, is fighting a legal notice that asks him to leave India by October 28, 2026. The timing has done most of the talking so far.

A familiar equation, a new set of questions

Photographs of Aamir Khan and Raj Thackeray together have appeared on social media before, so the association itself is not new. On this visit, Aamir’s wife, Gauri Spratt, accompanied him. Neither Aamir nor the MNS chief has said what the two discussed, and no official statement connects the meeting to Imran’s case.

That silence has been enough to feed speculation because Imran is currently challenging a notice from Mumbai’s Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). The notice reportedly directs him to leave the country by October 28, 2026.

The legal tangle behind the speculation

Imran’s court move follows a protest he and his girlfriend, Lekha Washington, attended at Mumbai’s August Kranti Maidan on October 10. The demonstration, organised by Citizens for Justice and Peace, was held against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Both were detained during the protest.

Here is the sequence that turned a demonstration into a legal flashpoint:

• October 10: Imran Khan and Lekha Washington join the protest at August Kranti Maidan and are detained.
• After the protest: Former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya approaches Mumbai Police and seeks an inquiry into Imran’s participation.
• The notice: The FRRO issues a notice asking Imran to leave India by October 28, 2026.
• The response: Imran Khan approaches the Bombay High Court seeking relief.

Why the Shivtirth meeting stands out

Raj Thackeray has separately criticised Gyanesh Kumar, the same figure the protest was held against, which gives the visual of Aamir at Shivtirth an extra layer of political weight. But that does not make the meeting proof of anything. So far, reports have not shared details of the talks, and neither side has announced that Imran’s legal matter came up.

For fans watching the courtroom story unfold, the practical takeaway is patience. A private meeting among public figures can be meaningful, coincidental, or simply badly timed. Until the High Court hears Imran’s challenge or someone involved speaks on record, the meeting remains what it is: a reported visit, not a confirmed intervention.
