Aamir Khan on Relationships: Reflecting on Marriage and Divorce

Ahead of the release of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par,’ Aamir Khan offered a glimpse into his personal journey. In an interview, he openly talked about the challenges of his past relationships. With a touch of wit, Khan remarked, “Shaadi mein main kamyab nahi hua hoon, lekin divorce mein main hua hoon” (I wasn’t successful in marriage, but I’ve been successful in divorce). He elaborated on how these changes affected his family, acknowledging that it wasn’t an easy experience. “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 [Rao] aur main bohot khush hain aur hum log shaadi-shuda hain (My family also has to face this, and it is not a happy scenario. Certain circumstances have made us rethink our relationship. So my thinking is I can either pretend that we are quite happy).” Khan divorced Kiran Rao in 2021 and has a son with her, Azad Rao Khan. Prior to this, he was married to Reena Dutta, with whom he has two children, Ira Khan and Junaid Khan. Khan also recently introduced his current partner, Gauri Spratt. His upcoming film, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par,’ co-starring Genelia Deshmukh, is scheduled for release on June 20. The film is a spiritual sequel to ‘Taare Zameen Par’ and a remake of the Spanish film ‘Champions’.
