The Great Indian Kapil Show: Aamir Khan recalls his ex-wife Reena Dutta slapping him during son Junaid Khan's birth

During his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Aamir Khan shared an insightful story about his ex-wife Reena Dutta's labor during the birth of their son Junaid Khan.
When Kapil Sharma inquired about Aamir's observations of people's behavior as an actor, Aamir responded with a humorous anecdote involving Reena. He recalled, "It was the day when Junaid was about to be born.Reena Ji was in labor. We were at the hospital. And as a good husband, I practiced some breathing exercises. As the labor 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."
Speaking about the emotional intensity of the moment, Aamir shared, "Later, I realized 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 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."

Aamir and Reena were married for 16 years before parting ways amicably. They have two children, Junaid Khan and Ira Khan. Aamir later tied the knot with filmmaker Kiran Rao, with whom he had a son named Azad Rao Khan. Despite their divorce after 15 years of marriage, Aamir and Kiran continue to co-parent their son and maintain a friendly relationship. Aamir and Kiran even collaborated on the movie 'Laapataa Ladies.' It was earlier released on the big screen and is now available for streaming online.

On the professional front, Aamir is currently working on his next film 'Sitare Zameen Par'. The film is said to be a second chapter to his blockbuster hit 'Taare Zameen Par'.
