Aamir Khan opens up about his fallout with Juhi Chawla
The actor recalled an incident when, after a fight with his ex-wife Kiran Rao, he gave her the silent treatment for four days, which left her in tears. Aamir added that a similar situation had once played out between him and Juhi Chawla. He said, "This was one of my biggest flaws and red flags. I used to get so hurt that I would forgive the person with whom I had a disagreement. Juhi aur mera jhagra hua, 7 saal chala (Juhi and I had a fight, it continued for 7 years)."
"Maine 7 saal tak Juhi k saath baat nahi ki, jabki hum saath mein kaam karrahe the. 7 years. And choti si baat pe main upset hua tha usse. Usne kaafi koshish ki thi, Juhi. Main tas se mas nahi hota tha. Reena mujhe bolti thi, 'Kaese karrahe ho tum? Milo use, khatam karo (I didn't talk to Juhi for 7 years, even when we were working together. I got upset with her over a trivial matter. Juhi tried a lot. I wouldn't budge. Reena told me, 'How are you behaving? Meet her, end the fight)," Aamir added.

Aamir had said, "When she got to know about my divorce with Reena, she called me up and asked to meet. Juhi had been close to both Reena and me, and she wanted to sort our differences. Juhi somewhere knew I might not pick up her call, but still she called me. That touched me and I knew the friendship hadn’t been affected a bit between us. We might not have been on talking terms, but had continued to care for each other."
