Aamir Khan finally breaks silence over his divorce from first wife Reena, reveals real reason
Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan is in the news these days for his upcoming film Sitare Zameen Par. The film is releasing on 20 June 2025, meanwhile, Aamir Khan has talked about his personal life. The superstar has told that he married Reena Dutta in a hurry, which was a big mistake of his life. Aamir Khan was asked on Raj Shamani's podcast what is the biggest mistake of his life. To this the superstar said- 'I have made many mistakes, not just one. But I think that it is because of those mistakes that I am what I am today, not only because of my success but also because of my mistakes.' Aamir Khan further said- 'Now I will say one simple thing like this, Reena and I got married very early. I was 21 years old and she was 18-19 years old. In fact, the first day that was legally possible for me to get married was after turning 21, you have to give a month's notice. So 30 days go there. So when I turned 21 on March 14, after that there was a one-month's notice, so it becomes April 14. But Saturday-Sunday was coming. So, the first day on which the marriage of Reena and me was legally possible was April 18.' The superstar further said- 'We got married on 18 April and we knew each other for only four months before that, and even in those four months we spent very little time with each other. We had a lot of love for each other, there was a lot of affection, that's why we got married. But today when I look back, I feel that you should take an important step like marriage after thinking carefully. At that time, in the excitement of youth, you don't understand many things. But later you realise.' Aamir Khan said- 'However, I have had a very good life with Reena. So do not take it from this that Reena was wrong. This is not what I meant at all. Reena is an amazing person and we have grown up together in a way, because we were so young when we got married. Reena and I respect each other a lot and we have a lot of love for each other in our hearts. But I feel that no one should take such a big step so soon and in such a hurry at such a young age.' Aamir Khan said about his girlfriend Gauri Spratt- We met by mistake and then we became friends and fell in love. Regarding his marriage with Gauri, he said- We can never be husband and wife. Regarding both his ex-wives, he said that even today he has a special bonding with both of them. Even today he respects both of them and has a good relationship with both of them.

Aamir Khan calls marriage to first wife Reena Dutta ‘impulsive', feels decision should not be taken ‘in panic': ‘Jawaani ke josh me bahot sari cheezein…'
Actor Aamir Khan recently opened up about his marriage with his first wife Reena Dutta. During a podcast with Raj Shamani, the actor, who is currently in a relationship with Gauri Spratt, called the decision to marry her 'impulsive' and spoke about how he learnt a lot from it. Reena and Aamir got married when he was 21 and she was 19. He was just about starting in films and the two kept their marriage a secret. When asked about the one thing that he regrets doing in his life, he replied, 'Galtiyan maine bahot ki hai. Ek nahi. Reena aur maine bahot jaldi shaadi ki thi. Main 21 saal ka tha, vo 19 saal ki thi (Not one, I have made a lot of mistakes. I got married to Reena pretty early. I was only 21, she was only 19). In fact, we got married the first day I could marry her legally – April 18.' The actor further added that he married Reena in a rush and that the timing could have been different. 'We only knew each other for just four months. We hadn't even spent a lot of time together. We loved each other a lot. However, now when I look back, I realise we should have thought about it. Uss waqt jawaani ke josh me aap bahot sari cheezein nahi samajhte ho (We don't realise a lot of things because we are young and careless),' he reflected. Having said that, Aamir mentioned that he doesn't regret the time he spent with his ex-wife. He shared, 'Meri Reena ke sath zindagi bahot achi kati hai. Iska aap ye matlab na nikaliye ki Reena galti thi. Ye mera matlab bilkul nahi hai (I have had a good life with Reena. Please don't misunderstand my statement. I am not saying that Reena was a mistake. The timing was). Reena is an amazing person. We've kind of grown up together. We respect each other, and have a lot of love for each other. But, I don't think anyone should take such a big step in life, at such a young age, in panic.'

Honestly, I got my biggest gifts in life – Ira and Junaid – from my marriage, and I got to spend 16 years with Reena. You can call it a mistake, but how I see it is: I wouldn't have been here if I hadn't done that.' He also spoke about what caused the end of his marriage to Reena Dutta. Pointing one of the reasons that he mentioned on the podcast was the attention he paid to work during those days. Khan shared, 'I was lost in my films. That's the red flag. I was a workaholic.' In an earlier interview with Rediff, Aamir had revealed how they eloped and kept their marriage a secret till after Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. 'I got married to Reena secretly through court marriage, with three witnesses. My wedding with Reena was most economical. I took Bus 211 and bought a ticket of 50 paise. I got down at Bandra station West, crossed the bridge, landed in the east and walked towards the highway. I crossed that highway and entered Griha Nirman Bhavan, where there is a marriage registrar office. So my wedding cost me less than Rs 10,' he had said. On the work front, Aamir Khan will next be seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel of his 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film is scheduled to hit the theatres on June 20.

Aamir Khan breaks silence on his impulsive marriage to Reena Dutta, the pain of divorce, and finding love 'by chance' with Gauri Spratt
In the glitzy world of Bollywood, some love stories make headlines for their grandeur, while others become quiet lessons in vulnerability and growth. Aamir Khan , who has long been known for his intense roles and meticulous filmmaking, is now drawing the curtain back on his personal life in a way that's as raw as it is reflective. As he gears up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par , his first major film since Laal Singh Chaddha , Aamir has given fans a rare and honest glimpse into the heartbreaks that shaped him. In a revealing conversation on Raj Shamani's podcast, the actor didn't just promote his next film—he revisited the defining emotional chapters of his life, particularly the story of his first marriage to Reena Dutta . And for once, the man who plays complex characters on screen admitted the real-life script wasn't any less tangled. 'We were just kids in love' Married at the age of 21, Aamir recalls the whirlwind romance with Reena, who was just 19 at the time. 'We had only known each other for four months,' he shared, looking back with the clarity that only time can offer. 'There was love, yes. But now I realise that decisions like marriage need a lot more than just feelings—they need understanding, maturity, and time.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Time Could You Save with Clearer Writing? Grammarly Install Now The marriage lasted 16 years—a period Aamir calls beautiful and meaningful—but hindsight has taught him that youth often masks judgment. 'It was jawani ka josh,' he said with a quiet smile. 'At that age, you don't fully comprehend the gravity of certain choices. Reena wasn't a mistake. But perhaps the timing was.' It's not often that a Bollywood superstar uses his platform to talk about emotional immaturity, but Aamir's candour was refreshingly disarming. His reflection wasn't tinged with regret about Reena as a person but about the haste with which they rushed into marriage. You Might Also Like: Aamir Khan to retire after 'Mahabharata'? A look at when he wanted to play Lord Krishna Workaholism: The silent intruder When asked what led to the eventual end of his marriage, Aamir didn't dodge the question. 'I was a workaholic. Lost in my films. That, I think, was a red flag.' The actor confessed that emotional immaturity and professional obsession took a toll on the relationship. He described how, during emotional distress, he would shut down completely, sometimes not speaking for days. This wasn't just introspection—it was accountability. In a world where celebrities often curate perfection, Aamir's honesty stood out. 'Now, I've worked on myself,' he added. 'I've grown emotionally. But back then, I was consumed by my career, unaware of how I was hurting the people closest to me.' From heartbreak to healing—and love again Despite two failed marriages—first with Reena Dutta and then with filmmaker Kiran Rao—Aamir refuses to call any of his past relationships a failure. In fact, he describes both Reena and Kiran as 'amazing people' who have been instrumental in shaping who he is today. 'These women have given me so much—love, friendship, and a lifetime of memories. Even though we're no longer married, the respect and affection remain.' With Reena, he shares two children, Ira and Junaid, and with Kiran, he co-parents their son Azad. The families remain close-knit, and Aamir speaks warmly of how he still shares a bond with both women's families. 'I was close to Reena's father, who passed away recently. That love, it never really leaves.' You Might Also Like: Aamir Khan's cozy airport reunion with girlfriend Gauri Spratt is sweet.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kiran Rao (@raodyness) Enter Gauri Spratt: A new chapter, by chance Now, at 59, just when many thought the curtains had closed on Aamir's love life, the actor introduced the world to Gauri Spratt—a woman he describes as a 'by-chance' blessing. The two reportedly met during a period when Aamir had begun therapy and was focusing on self-love and healing. 'I had started to think maybe I was too old to find someone again. But then I met Gauri. And we connected. It wasn't planned. It just happened.' Aamir confessed that he didn't expect to find such a meaningful connection again. 'We became friends, and from that, love and respect grew. I didn't seek it out—but sometimes life surprises you.' Earlier this year, Aamir went public with their relationship during a media event in Mumbai. Gauri, too, has embraced the spotlight gracefully, sharing how she was warmly welcomed by Aamir's family. When asked if Aamir is a romantic in real life, she laughed and admitted, 'Yes. He makes sure I smile every day.' — filmfare (@filmfare) Beyond the screen: The evolution of Aamir Khan While the world waits for Sitaare Zameen Par to hit the screens, it's clear that Aamir Khan's most transformative role has perhaps been off-screen—as a man learning to love, lose, reflect, and rise again. His journey isn't one of stardom alone—it's about the vulnerability that fame often hides. In laying bare his flaws and growth, Aamir offers a rare celebrity tale that doesn't promise perfection but delivers profound truth. Whether in reel or real life, he continues to be a storyteller—only now, the story is his own.
