Nupur Shikhare has been in the news recently for tying the knot with his long-time love interest, Ira Khan, who happens to be the daughter of Bollywood’s popular actor, Aamir Khan. While he may be Ira’s husband, there are so many other remarkable achievements that not many may not know about him.
Born in Pune and raised in Mumbai, Nupur entered the world of fitness when he was in his 20s and started to gain interest in maintaining an athletic and healthy lifestyle. Soon enough, his fitness skills and training sessions started attracting big names like Sushmita Sen, Rana Daggubati, and Pulkit Samrat.
He happened to meet Ira while training Aamir Khan for an upcoming film, and the duo soon fell in love with each other. Shikhare now stands as a successful fitness coach and consultant, and he is also an athlete whenever marathons or triathlons are in season.
While not much is known about his personal life before he met Ira, Nupur’s family seems to be filled with talent as his mother, Pritam Shikhare, is a Kathak dancer and has so far trained various celebrities’ children.
Net Worth
After managing tons of celebrities and working as a fitness coach for quite a few years now, Nupur Shikhare has managed to gather a net worth of $80 million or 8 crores. This would be way too high for a normal fitness coach, but since Nupur works exclusively with high-ranking celebs, it’s no surprise that his net worth would be higher than most actors or singers.
Combined, Nupur and Ira’s net worth is going to be a hefty $130 million, which goes to show how successful they’ve been in their respective careers. Ira would be inheriting most of her net worth from her father Aamir Khan. Khan’s earnings are an astonishing $200 million, making him one of the highest-earning actors in Bollywood.
Nupur may have joined this family of film enthusiasts, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be giving up on his fitness career anytime soon. The coach can be seen guiding people with new workout routines and other lifestyle tips on his social media accounts.
Nupur often posts himself traveling all over the world and experiencing new sports and cultures. Shikhare supposedly proposed Ira after completing Ironman Italy, a tough race that only a few manage to complete with ease. With him being a professional in fitness training, Nupur will likely coach more celebs and keep increasing his net worth with time.
Besides his work as a fitness trainer, Nupur is also an entrepreneur. Most of his financial growth comes from his gym work, but a significant portion is also due to other investments and businesses.
About The Fitness Coach
Nupur’s family hails from Pune, although later on, they shifted to Mumbai, and that’s where Nupur got most of his education. Having turned into a fitness coach by his mid-20s, Nupur started to train a variety of celebrities from the film industry.
This work eventually led him to train Aamir Khan during the lockdown. That’s where Ira and Nupur first met each other and started training together at the gym. Since 2019, they’ve been in a relationship and have always supported each other publicly, as can be seen on their social media accounts.
After completing a race in Italy, Nupur decided it was finally time to propose to Ira back in 2022, and the couple then tied the knot after two years in 2024. Their wedding was a breath of fresh air, completely different from the usual baraat that Indian weddings consist of. Ira arrived in an unconventional outside while Nupur had just shown up after one of his jogging sessions.
Nupur’s fitness craze led him to show up late at his wedding in a jogging outfit. While their wedding may have been very different, it was fun for the couple as well as those who showed up to congratulate the newlyweds.
Ira happens to be the daughter of Aamir Khan’s first wife, and both of her mothers were spotted at the wedding. The couple will also have another huge event in Udaipur, where they’ll be inviting all close friends and family for a lavish party. After all of the extravagant parties, Nupur Shikhare will likely return to being a coach for celebs from Mumbai and all over India.
