Aamir Khan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, got candid in a recent interview with Zoom, speaking openly about his personal life, including his two failed marriages.
In a moment of humour, Aamir 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).”
Reflecting on his journey, Aamir shared how difficult it was for both him and his family to go through those changes, “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).”
Aamir divorced filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2021. The two share a son, Azad Rao Khan. Before that Aamir was married to Reena Dutta, and they have two children together Ira Khan and Junaid Khan.
He recently introduced his current partner, Gauri Spratt, to the media on his 60th birthday.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Aamir Khan is set to return to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, alongside Genelia Deshmukh which is slated for a June 20 release. The film is a spiritual sequel to his acclaimed Taare Zameen Par. It is a remake of Spanish film Champions (2018).
