Aamir-Khan-Reveals-Dark-Phase-After-Divorce-from-Reena-Dutta

Aamir Khan shares the pain behind the spotlight. From Lagaan to loneliness, his truth stirs hearts.

Aamir Khan has shared one of the most painful chapters of his life, revealing how his 2002 divorce from Reena Dutta sent him into a long and silent struggle. While the world saw him as the face of success with Lagaan, Aamir was privately dealing with a storm of emotions, fueled by alcohol and depression.

Opening Up About the Darkest Time

In a recent conversation with The Lallantop, the actor opened up about what he called the darkest period of his life. After his separation, he turned to daily drinking, often to the point of losing consciousness. Aamir admitted that he wasn’t just escaping the pain; he was trying to end it. His words were raw: “I was trying to kill myself.”

Applause Outside, Emptiness Within

And ironically, during this same phase, the whole world was applauding him. A historical milestone was becoming Lagaan, and Aamir was crowned Man of the Year. The applause outside could never fill the void inside. He put a stop to work, and slowly it became almost impossible for anyone to see him.

What Led to the Collapse

Aamir said the immaturity of emotions and early marriage contributed to the downfall of his relationship. He also cited his obsession with work, admitting to losing focus on what mattered. The success did not heal his heart; rather, it increased the unacceptable contrast.

The Road to Recovery

Aamir came back from all of these tragedies. The acceptance came first. He began to see what was lost as something precious. Gradually pulling himself out of that hole, he stopped drinking and started to think. The pain stayed for quite a while; he just never allowed it to define him.

A Bond That Transformed

The love story between Aamir and Reena had started in their youth. They were married for 16 years and had two children. Even after the split, they stayed respectful and co-parented their kids. Their journey didn’t end in bitterness; it turned into a different kind of understanding.

A Message That Goes Beyond Stardom

Now at 59, Aamir continues to speak with honesty about emotional health, offering a rare look into what public success often hides. His openness reminds many that pain can live behind fame, and healing begins with truth.
