Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta’s Love Against Everyone
Neighbors turned lovers, Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta had to face a classic problem—the displeasure of their parents.
When Reena’s family found out about their relationship, they made her promise that she would never meet the young actor. But love finds its way, doesn’t it?
A Secret Court Marriage
Instead of losing each other, the couple made a plan.
Aamir found out that he had to be 21 years old to get legally married, so he patiently waited for March 14, when he finally reached that age.
A few days later, they secretly got married in court—no family, no pomp and show.
Perfect Cover-Up
After saying “I do”, both of them got tense. “I thought everyone would ask why they were waiting so long,” Aamir recently told The Lallantop.
They were afraid that their families would question them about their suspicious disappearance.
But fate gave them an unexpected alibi—an India-Pakistan cricket match in which everyone’s eyes were glued to the TV screens.
No one noticed that the new bride and groom were missing!
Woh Infamous Six
The wedding day seemed blessed—India was winning, and their secret was safe.
Aamir sat down to watch the match with his family, trying to act normal on the biggest day of his life.
Then the day came. Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad hit a legendary last-ball six, snatching victory from India.
When the whole country heaved a sigh of relief, Aamir felt as if he had been personally cheated.
From Wedding Bliss to Cricket Blues
“I went into depression,” Aamir admitted. Years later, fate brought them face to face with Miandad on a flight.
Without stopping, he told the cricketer: “Javed bhai, you did not do the right thing. You ruined my marriage.”
Confused, Miandad asked how, and Aamir explained, “You had a stroke that day. I went into depression.”
When the secret came out
The honeymoon phase did not last long. After a few months, their families got to know the truth, and there was a storm.
Reena’s parents were so sad that they broke off their relationship with her.
Due to tension, her father also had a heart attack.
Getting the family back together
Sometimes a crisis becomes an opportunity. This health scare actually helped in healing family wounds. Slowly, Reena’s parents accepted the marriage.
Later, Aamir’s sister Farhat married Reena’s brother Rajiv, which brought the families even closer.
Although their marriage ended after 16 years in 2002, Aamir and Reena raised their children, Junaid and Ira Khan, together—a different kind of happy ending from the cricket-filled wedding day they had earlier planned.
