Aamir Khan Opens Up on Personal Struggles
Aamir Khan recalls turning to alcohol after his divorce, revealing personal struggles despite career success.

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently recalled the emotional turmoil he faced after his divorce from his first wife, Reena Dutta. Married in 1986 and separated in 2002, the couple share two children, Junaid and Ira. Khan revealed that the breakdown of his marriage triggered a period of heavy drinking, marking a drastic change in his lifestyle.
Turning to Alcohol After Divorce
In interviews, Khan admitted that he consumed nearly a bottle of alcohol every night for about 1.5 years. This was a shocking revelation, considering he had been a strict teetotaller before the separation. He described the day Reena left with their children as a turning point that left him unable to cope with loneliness and emotional pain.
Emotional Collapse Despite Success
Interestingly, this difficult period coincided with the release of Lagaan, which earned Khan immense success and recognition. He recalled the irony of being celebrated as “Man of the Year” while privately battling depression and addiction. His story highlights how even professional triumphs cannot shield one from personal struggles.
Recovery and Reflection
Khan eventually overcame this phase, reflecting on how destructive habits can emerge from emotional vulnerability. He has since spoken openly about his journey, making his struggles relatable to fans and offering a reminder that celebrities, despite their fame, face challenges similar to anyone else.
