Aamir Khan offers condolences after ex-wife Reena Dutta’s father passes away

Film producer Reena Dutta’s father passed away on Wednesday. Her ex-husband, actor Aamir Khan, was spotted arriving at her house to offer condolences. His mother, Zeenat, was spotted some time later. Reena, who has two adult children with Aamir, reportedly lives in the same building complex as him. Aamir and Reena tied the knot in 1986, and divorced in 2002.

Pictures showed the actor stepping out of a car. His mother was seen walking with the help of a nurse, according to Zoom. In an interview with Simi Garewal in 1999, Aamir had revealed  that Reena’s parents ‘were quite upset’ about their relationship. He was in his early 20s at the time, and she was still a teenager. They made the difficult decision to elope. “It wasn’t out of disrespect or rebellion, it was more out of insecurity,” he said.

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.”

Reena and Aamir have two children, son Junaid and daughter Ira. Aamir tied the knot with Kiran Rao some years after their divorce, but they separated as well in 2021. In an interview with The Week, Kiran had spoken about their modern family set-up. She had said, “It comes very naturally to us as people to be inclusive. My family was also at the wedding. It’s something that we honestly didn’t have to think about. We are a family. In fact, we have Monday night dinners where we all get together.”
