Aamir Khan on Life After Divorce: A Candid Conversation

Aamir Khan, while promoting ‘Sitaare Zameen Par,’ shared candid insights into his personal life, including his marital history. In a lighthearted moment, Khan humorously stated, “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 also discussed the impact of these changes on his family. “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’s divorce from Kiran Rao occurred in 2021; they share a son named Azad Rao Khan. Before that, he was married to Reena Dutta, and they have two children, Ira Khan and Junaid Khan. Khan recently introduced his current partner, Gauri Spratt. ‘Sitaare Zameen Par,’ starring Genelia Deshmukh, marks Khan’s return to the big screen, with a release date set for June 20. The film serves as a spiritual sequel to ‘Taare Zameen Par’ and is a remake of the Spanish film ‘Champions’ (2018).
