Aamir & Reena's relationship

Aamir and Reena’s story goes back to their teenage years, long before Bollywood fame entered his life. The two were neighbours who often exchanged shy glances from their windows. Aamir was smitten early on and pursued Reena persistently. Though she initially declined, she eventually agreed, and the couple married quietly.

Their marriage lasted 16 years, during which they welcomed two children—Junaid Khan, now an actor, and Ira Khan, who prefers a life away from showbiz.

In a conversation with Lallantop, Aamir openly discussed the emotional turmoil that followed their separation. He said, “When Reena and I separated, I drank an entire bottle of alcohol that same night. For the next year and a half, I drank every day. I couldn’t sleep. I would just pass out from the alcohol. I was trying to kill myself.”

After their divorce, Aamir married filmmaker Kiran Rao, with whom he has a son, Azad. They separated in 2021 but continue to co-parent. Earlier this year, the actor made headlines after revealing that he had rekindled a connection with his current girlfriend, Gauri Spratt—someone he first met 25 years ago.
