Bollywood actor Aamir Khan got married to his first wife, Reena Dutta, in 1986. Reportedly, Reena, who was Aamir’s neighbor, initially said no when he proposed to her. But later on, they started dating in the early 80s and Reena even had cameo in a song in Aamir’s movie, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Aamir had earlier revealed that he and Reena opted for court marriage and the wedding cost him less than Rs 10.

In an old interview with Rediff, Aamir had revealed that his marriage with Reena was ‘economical.’ The actor had said, “I got married to Reena secretly through court marriage, with three witnesses. My wedding with Reena was most economical. I took Bus 211 and bought a ticket of 50 paise. I got down at Bandra station West, crossed the bridge, landed in the east and walked towards the highway. I crossed that highway and entered Griha Nirman Bhavan, where there is a marriage registrar office. So my wedding cost me less than Rs 10.”

Aamir has opened up about his ‘traumatic’ separation with Reena multiple times. The couple parted ways in 2002 and Reena took custody of their kids–Ira and Junaid.
