Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta’s love story began as just like a typical Bollywood romance. The duo were neighbours in Mumbai, and they used to exchange glances from opposite windows until Aamir came forward to confess his feelings for Reena, which began a whirlwind tale of romance. Reena, who had a reserved and ‘hard to impress’ nature, eventually agreed to date him at 19, and they tied the knot in 1986. After being together through thick and thin for 16 years with two kids, their marriage came to an end. In a recent interview, Aamir recalled how he tried to harm himself following the end of his marriage.
Aamir Khan reveals he became a heavy drinker after his divorce from Reena Dutta
Aamir Khan recently sat down for an interview with The Lallantop where he made a heartbreaking confession about how his divorce with Reena Dutta took an emotional toll on him. He explained that, unlike the media’s description, his separation was difficult. To cope with the same, he used to avoid meeting people and turned towards alcohol to numb his feelings for temporary relief. Recalling the emotional struggle, Aamir said:
“When Reena and I separated that evening, I finished an entire bottle of alcohol, and for the next 1.5 years, I drank every day. I never slept. Mai behosh hojata tha daaru peeke. I was trying to kill myself.”
