Aamir Khan made ex-wife Kiran Rao cry by ignoring her for four days after argument: ‘I made myself inaccessible’
Actor Aamir Khan said that a possible red flag that he used to have is that he'd shut out near and dear ones after arguments or disagreements. On one such occasion, he made his ex-wife Kiran Rao cry.

Actor Aamir Khan said that he is working to improve himself as a person, but there was a time when he’d make himself completely inaccessible to near and dear ones after arguments. On one such occasion, he refused to speak to ex-wife Kiran Rao for four days, at the end of which she had no choice but to break down in tears. In an interview with podcaster Raj Shamani, Aamir said identified his biggest ‘red flags’, and said that he would find it extremely difficult to forgive those who’d hurt him.
Asked if he has figured out a reason why his marriage with Kiran ended, or if there was a toxic trait that he used to display in that relationship, Aamir said, “I am a very emotional person, and earlier, I would shut people out for hurting me. I would create barriers around myself and completely block them out. I made myself completely inaccessible; it was as if I’d erected steel shutters around myself. I used to do this; I don’t do it any more. One day, Kiran and I had an argument, a regular husband-wife argument, and I was very hurt by something she said.”
Aamir continued, “So, to teach her a lesson, I stopped talking to her. One day passed, another day passed, a third day and a fourth day passed. We were living in the same house, sleeping in the same bed. And I would just not respond to her or react to her. On the fourth night, she was trying to speak to me, and I was just not responding to her. Suddenly, she started crying. She said, ‘I don’t know what to do, you aren’t even reacting to me’. And in my head, there were conflicting thoughts. A part of me was hurt and adamant and absolutely unwilling to forgive her, and the other part was scolding myself for doing this to her. ‘Look how hard she’s trying, cut her some slack’, I would tell myself.”
Aamir said that this was a major red flag and flaw that he had to combat, and that therapy helped him in this regard. Aamir was married to Kiran from 2005 to 2021. They share one son, Azad, and continue to maintain a healthy relationship. Aamir said that both Kiran and his first wife, Reena Dutta, are people that he loves dearly, and will always be family to him. They work together on his NGO, the Paani Foundation. He is now dating Gauri Spratt.
