Aamir Khan says Pak cricketer Javed Miandad ruined his wedding with Reena Dutta, put him in depression: ‘I said Javed bhai aapne theek nahi kiya’

The actor recalled, “It was India-Pakistan match day. The same match where Javed Miandad hit a six on the last ball. We were winning that match so nobody cared to ask us about our absence for so long. I too joined them and was watching cricket, however, Javed’s six ruined it all. Once I happened to meet him on the flight when I told him, ‘Javed bhai aapne theek nahi kiya. Aapne meri shadi barbaad kardi (You ruined my wedding). He was like, ‘Kaise? (How)’ I said, ‘Usi din aapne chakka mara tha. Depression mein chala gaya tha mai. (Your six put me in depression.)'”

A few months later, their parents found out about their secret marriage which brought a huge storm in the couple’s lives. Reena’s parents were so upset that they cut ties with her. It also resulted in her father suffering a heart attack. However, the health scare also became a reason behind bringing the family close. Eventually, Reena’s family accepted her marriage to Aamir Khan. Later, Aamir’s younger sister Farhat tied the knot with Reena’s brother Rajeev. This brought Reena’s father closer to Aamir Khan.

Reena and Aamir stayed married for 16 years. They finalised their divorce in 2002. They co-parents their kids Junaid Khan and Ira Khan.
