Aamir Khan talks about his failures in marriages: 'Shaadi mein kaamyaab nahi hua, divorce mein...'
Aamir Khan is all set to return to the big screens after 3 years with Sitaare Zameen Par. He is on a promotional spree, leaving no stone unturned to market his upcoming movie in the best possible way. While doing rounds for promotions, Mr Perfectionist talked about his failures in marriages and shed light on his reported cameo in Lokesh Kanagaraj's next.
In a candid chat with Zoom, Aamir Khan underlined that he can pretend or fake that his married life with Kiran Rao is happy, but that would be a lie. 'Humare parivar ke liye bhi ye ek cheez hain jisse hum khush nahi hain. Hum khushi-khushi ye cheez nahi kar rahe hain. Lekin kuch circumstances aise aayein jisme humein lagta hain ki shayad humara rishta badal gaya hain. Toh meri thinking ye hain ki yaa toh main duniya ko jhooth bol sakta hoon aur pretend kar sakta hoon ki Kiran aur main bohot khush hain aur hum log shaadi-shuda hain," said the actor.
(For our family, too, this is one thing that we are not happy about. We are not doing these things happily. However, some circumstances have arisen in which we feel our relationship may have evolved. So my thinking is that maybe I can lie to the world and pretend that Kiran and I are very happy.)
The 60-year-old joked about his divorces and said, "Shaadi me main kamyab nahi hua hun, lekin divorce me main hua hoon (I have not succeeded in marriage, but I have succeeded in divorce)."
For the unversed, the actor has been divorced twice. He got separated from his first wife, Reena Dutta, after 21 years of marriage, and then parted ways with Kiran Rao, having spent 16 years in marriage. The Dangal actor introduced his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, on his 60th birthday.
Aamir Khan breaks silence on his 'rumored' cameo in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie
Apart from his relationships, Aamir Khan also confirmed his rumored cameo in Rajinikanth starrer Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The superstar mentioned that he didn't even hear the script and agreed to the guest's appearance because he is a big fan of Thalaivar.
On the work front, Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par is slated to hit the cinemas on June 20th. The actor will soon join Rajkumar Hirani in the biopic about Dada Saheb Phalke.

In a recent interview with The Indian Express, the actor stated that he even requested director RS Prasanna to cast Farhan Akhtar in the movie. 'To be honest, after Laal Singh Chaddha, I was quite depressed, heartbroken, and emotionally battered because I hadn't had an unsuccessful film in very long.

The 60-year-old actor went on to reveal the reason behind saying yes to the film. He stated, 'I told Prasanna and writer Divyanidhi Sharma we'd discuss the script for a week before the prep once we lock everything. In the first half hour of the first day, as Divya was reading the script, I was telling myself, 'Tell me, why are you not doing this film again? It's a superb script yaar.' So I thought ye toh gadbad ho gayi yaar. And some time had also passed, so I'd recovered from Laal Singh Chaddha being a flop." The sports comedy-drama is a remake of the Spanish hit Champions and features Genelia Deshmukh and 10 newcomers in prominent roles. First Published: June 11, 2025, 15:35 IST

Aamir Khan says he was 'blackout' drunk on his 60th birthday after quitting alcohol, doesn't remember what his family members said about him: 'I'm an extreme person'
Aamir Khan celebrated his 60th birthday in March. It was that day when he also introduced his girlfriend Gauri Spratt to the media. That night when he turned 60, his family members and very close friends organised an intimate birthday party for him. The actor admitted that he has cut down on alcohol immensely, but that day he did drink and he has no memory of what happened later. Khan who is gearing up for the release of 'Sitaare Zameen Par', said during a chat with Mashable India, "Everyone organised a birthday party for me on my 60th. They invited all my near and dear ones, it was supposed to be a memorable day. I don't drink much these, I've cut down alcohol consumption to almost zero. But that day, because it was a big birthday, everybody insisted that I have a drink or two. The thing with me is that I'm not someone who restricts himself; I'm an extreme person. And because I haven't been drinking much, my body wasn't used to it. We started at around 7 pm, and by 9 pm, I knew that I was buzzing.' He added, 'This has happened to me a few times. When I woke up the next morning, I had no memory of the previous evening. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo There were videos and photos, and they told me that everyone said nice things about me, but I didn't remember anything. It was a blackout. I was conducting myself normally during the party, but I have zero memories of my 60th birthday celebration. I was reacting to what people were saying about me, but the memory has been wiped out completely. ' A few years ago, Aamir had confessed that he is now sober due to his past experiences with alcohol. He had said that he took to alcohol in depression when he separated from his first wife Reena Dutta. Aamir said during a chat with Instant Bollywood, "I couldn't sleep at night, and I started drinking. From someone who didn't drink at all, I went to being someone who drank an entire bottle in a day. I was like Devdas, someone who is trying to destroy themselves. I did that for 1.5 years. I was in a deep depression."
