Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal and badminton champion Jwala Gutta recently held an emotional naming ceremony for their baby girl, who was born on April 22. After four years of marriage, the couple revealed their daughter’s name, Mira, which was bestowed upon her by none other than Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. The name “Mira” signifies unconditional love and peace, a sentiment echoed by Vishnu Vishal on social media.

Both Vishnu Vishal and Jwala Gutta shared touching pictures from the ceremony, expressing profound gratitude to Aamir Khan. Jwala Gutta posted, “Our ‘Mira’! Couldn’t have asked for more!! This journey would have been impossible without u Aamir!! We love you. P.S Thank you for the beautiful and a thoughtful name!!!!” Similarly, Vishnu Vishal captioned his post, “Introducing our MIRA…A big hug to #AamirKhan sir for coming all the way to Hyderabad to name our baby. MIRA represents unconditional love and peace. The journey with Aamir sir to this point has been a magical one…” The ceremony itself was a warm affair, attended by close friends and family, with Aamir Khan’s presence adding a unique and special touch, underscoring the strong bond he shares with the couple.

For many, Aamir Khan’s involvement in naming the child came as a surprise. However, for those familiar with Vishnu Vishal’s journey, this event marks the culmination of a truly unique and unexpected friendship that blossomed between two actors from diverse film industries. Vishnu Vishal has openly spoken about how his relationship with Aamir Khan began, not through professional cinema connections, but through serendipity. He described Aamir’s friendship as “something beyond my dreams,” noting his personal growth from an introvert to someone who can playfully tease the veteran actor.

The genesis of their bond traces back to an “accidental meetup” that Jwala Gutta had with Aamir Khan at a function. From this initial encounter, Aamir gradually became an integral part of the couple’s inner circle, evolving into a close family friend within a year. Their connection was further solidified during the devastating Chennai floods in late 2023. Both Vishnu and Aamir found themselves stranded in Karapakkam due to rising water levels. Vishnu, who had posted on X for help, assisted Aamir during this challenging time. Aamir, who was meant to return to Mumbai after his mother’s treatment, ended up staying for two days due to the floods. This shared experience during adversity profoundly deepened their friendship, with Ajith Kumar later assisting with their transportation once they reached the main road by boat.

Their relationship has extended far beyond the trying times of the floods. Aamir Khan has watched Vishnu’s films, including 'Ratsasan' and 'FIR', offering warm praise for his work. In turn, Vishnu Vishal has expressed how much he learns from Aamir’s meticulous approach to acting, marketing, and discipline. While there has been buzz about a professional collaboration between the two, Vishnu is keen to preserve their personal bond without letting business influence it. However, Aamir is reportedly keen on making a film with him, suggesting a potential future collaboration at the right time and with the right script.

Vishnu Vishal and Jwala Gutta tied the knot in April 2021 in an intimate ceremony in Hyderabad, following a nearly two-year relationship. Professionally, Vishnu Vishal was last seen in ‘Lal Salaam’, directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, where he played a significant role alongside a star-studded cast. He is now preparing for the release of ‘Oho Enthan Baby’, scheduled to hit cinemas on July 11, and has several other upcoming projects, including ‘Irandu Vaanam’, ‘Mohandas’, and ‘Aaryan’.
