Aamir Khan Shares Ex-Wife Reena Dutta Slapped Him, Bit His Hand During Labour: ‘Tried To Calm Her Down’

Aamir Khan recently opened up about learning human emotions when his ex-wife Reena Dutta was in labour. The actor recently made an appearance at The Great Indian Kapil Show, where he opened up about his career and shared some funny and noteworthy moments from his life. One such moment was the time when Aamir’s ex-wife ended up slapping him while she was in labour.

During his appearance, Aamir was asked if he notices the behaviour of people as an actor, to which the actor said that he observes and notices it big time, during strange situations. Speaking with Kapil Sharma, he said, “Let me give you an idea of what I notice. It was the day when Junaid was about to be born. Reena Ji was in labour. We were at the hospital. And as a good husband, I practiced some breathing exercises. As the labour got intense, I tried to calm her down with it. But I got slapped, followed by, ‘Stop this nonsense!’ Reena Ji was in immense pain. She even bit my hand.”

Aamir further added, “Later, I realised what was happening around me. I noticed one thing when a person is in immense pain, like what women go through during childbirth. I didn’t even plan this. It is just happening to me. I looked at Reena’s face, and when she was experiencing that pain, normally we think that a person’s face would contort with pain, but it is not that. When the pain is immense, the expression is one of surprise. It is disbelief. A person is in denial. She could not fathom the intensity of her pain. That I noted as an actor. Later, I said this to Reena when she came home with Junaid, and she was furious! (laughs).” 

Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta’s marriage lasted for almost 16 years, and together they have had two children, Ira Khan and Junaid Khan. Aamir Khan married Reena Dutta in 1986. They parted ways in 2002. After that, the actor married Kiran Rao in 2005. They separated in 2021 and continue to co-parent their son, Azad Rao.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Aamir Khan is all set to make his comeback with RS Prasanna’s Sitaare Zameen Par and Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lahore: 1947. While the actor will be starring opposite Genelia D’Souza in the former, he will be producing his maiden collaboration in the latter, which will see Sunny Deol in the lead.
