Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is riding high currently with Sitaare Zameen Par, which has won hearts of viewers and critics alike. But off-screen as well, it is the actor’s personal life and his candid, straightforwardness that keeps winning him accolades. He explained divorce as not a battle, but an agreement between two individuals who still have care and sympathy for one another. There was no courtroom melodrama, no nasty fallout, just one meeting with one legal advisor, and a polite agreement to go your separate ways.
Aamir Khan On His Ex Wives
During a recent interview with Filmfare, Aamir spoke candidly about his earlier relationships and gave a rare insight into the adult, matured relationship he has with his two divorced wives, Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao.
That his two divorces had been facilitated not by two rival sets of legal professionals, but by a single attorney was the biggest surprise for most fans. It was a testament to the dignity and class with which they had ended their marriages. Aamir explained how both Reena and Kiran were important figures in his life and still remain so even after the breakup of their marriages.

More Details
The actor wed Reena Dutta in 1996 and had two children with her, Junaid and Ira. Following their divorce in 2002, he wed director Kiran Rao in 2005. The couple broke up in 2021 and share son Azad whom they co-parent. Despite the two divorces, Aamir indicates that his bond with both women is still intact, anchored in decades of history together and true friendship.
He said that during periods of personal crisis, both Reena and Kiran would be the first people he would go to and they, likewise, would do the same. That built-in support mechanism, he says, is something they’ve deliberately maintained, not out of duty but because of the bond they forged over the years.
Aamir also spoke about his current relationship with Gauri Spratt, stating that she’s getting to know a part of him which is more self-aware and emotionally mature. On the professional Aamir Khan is busy with the release of Sitaare Zameen Par going past crore at the box office within a week.
