Aamir Khan Reunites with Ex-Wife Reena Dutta After Her Father’s Passing
On Wednesday, film producer Reena Dutta's father passed away, and her ex-husband, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, was seen arriving at her home to offer his condolences. The two, who were married for over 15 years, have two adult children together, Junaid and Ira. Aamir's mother, Zeenat, was also seen visiting Reena's house later in the day.
Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta’s Relationship
Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta got married in 1986 in a simple court ceremony. Despite their love story being filled with challenges, they eloped when Aamir was in his early 20s and Reena was still a teenager. In an interview with Simi Garewal in 1999, Aamir revealed that Reena’s parents were initially upset about their relationship, which led them to elope. However, Aamir emphasized that their decision wasn’t rebellious but rather driven by insecurity and the fear of losing each other.
In another interview, Aamir shared humorous details about their wedding, describing it as very "economical." He recalled, “I got married to Reena secretly through court marriage with three witnesses. My wedding cost me less than Rs 10, as I took a bus to the marriage registrar’s office.”
Aamir and Reena’s Family Life
Although Aamir and Reena divorced in 2002, they continue to co-parent their children, Junaid and Ira. Despite their separation, they maintain a respectful and amicable relationship, living in the same building complex in Mumbai. Aamir has always valued his relationship with his children and has maintained close ties with Reena.
After divorcing Reena, Aamir later married filmmaker Kiran Rao, though their relationship ended in 2021. Despite their separation, Aamir and Kiran continue to co-parent their son, Azad. In a past interview with The Week, Kiran mentioned how naturally their family dynamic works, saying, “It comes very naturally to us as people to be inclusive. We have Monday night dinners where we all get together as a family.”
Aamir Khan’s Support for Reena During Tough Times
Aamir Khan’s appearance at Reena Dutta’s home during such a difficult time shows the enduring respect and support they share, even after years of separation. The pictures from the day showed Aamir stepping out of his car, ready to stand by Reena as she grieves the loss of her father. His mother, Zeenat, was later spotted arriving with the help of a nurse, demonstrating that the entire family remains supportive during tough times.
The passing of Reena Dutta’s father brought Aamir Khan back into the spotlight for his unwavering support towards his former wife. Despite their divorce, Aamir’s gesture highlights the deep respect and connection that still exists between them. This emotional moment reminds us that relationships evolve but love and family bonds remain strong.
