Bollywood actor Aamir Khan recently opened up about his first marriage with Reena Dutta, stating that he deeply loved her. Despite beginning their journey on a happy note, unforeseen circumstances led to their separation, a development he said he never anticipated.
Speaking in a recent interview, Aamir revealed that the divorce took an emotional toll on him, leading to a period of distress and alcohol dependence. “The time following my divorce from Reena was extremely difficult. For nearly three years, I struggled to focus on work, distanced myself from film shoots, and avoided script narrations. I often remained alone at home, unable to sleep or cope with the situation. In an attempt to find solace, I turned to alcohol. I had no prior experience with it, but suddenly, I found myself consuming a bottle a day. This phase lasted for about a year and a half, during which I battled severe mental distress. It took considerable time to recover and come to terms with the reality that life must continue, even without those we cherish,” he said.
Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta were married in 1986 and have two children, Ira and Junaid. They divorced in 2002, following which Aamir married filmmaker Kiran Rao. However, their marriage ended in 2021. The actor is currently in a relationship with Gauri, a fact he confirmed during a recent press meet on his birthday.
