This actor tried to kill himself after divorce, suffered depression, became alcoholic, fell in love again at 60, his name is..., girlfriend is...
Aamir Khan may be Bollywood's thinking man's superstar, but even he wasn't immune to emotional breakdown. In a recent interview shared by The Lallantop, Aamir confessed he spiralled into self-destruction after his divorce from Reena Dutta in 2002—his first wife and the woman he married in secret in 1986. 'When Reena and I separated, that evening I finished an entire bottle of alcohol, and for the next 1.5 years I drank every day,' Aamir said. 'I never slept. Main behosh ho jaata tha daaru peeke. I was trying to kill myself.' What pushed Aamir to the edge? During this period, Aamir completely withdrew from work and people. The irony hit when he was named Man of the Year in the same year Lagaan released. 'I found it very ironical,' he said—celebrated by the world, but crumbling in private. How did he cope with grief and healing? This wasn't the first time Aamir reflected on that turbulent chapter. Speaking to Instant Bollywood earlier, he had said, 'When Reena and I broke, I was in mourning for almost 2–3 years. I wasn't working or listening to scripts… I drank a lot. You will be shocked to know that I was a teetotaler.' What helped him eventually was acceptance: 'Accept that what was once yours is not there now. Also accept how good it was for you when it was there, and how much you will miss it when it isn't.' Has Aamir Khan found peace again in love? Aamir went on to marry filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005, but they too separated in 2021 after nearly 16 years of marriage. Now, at 60, Aamir has introduced a new chapter—Gauri Spratt. In a recent event, he presented her publicly and shared that his family has welcomed her warmly. From battling inner demons to finding love again, Aamir Khan's emotional candour reveals a man unafraid to show his flaws, proving that even perfectionists bleed.
