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.
