Junaid Khan never saw Aamir and Reena fight till he was 19
In an interview with Vicky Lalwani, Junaid Khan spoke about his parents’ divorce and said, “It was good. My parents split up, I think, when I was eight. But they never actually let us feel that. I never saw them fight till I was 19. The first time I saw my parents fight, I was 19. So we never saw them disagree or fight. They always… When it came to us (him and Ira Khan) they were a single unit. So, I think that way they did well. I think it was probably a mature thing to do. I mean two good people aren’t always good together and this way we got, at least I got a childhood with both parents being happy.”
Aamir and Reena Dutta got married on April 18, 1986. Reena also had a small part in Aamir’s Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. They have two children, a son named Junaid and a daughter, Ira. While Junaid made his debut with the streaming movie Maharaj, Ira, has stayed away from the profession of acting so far. She tied the knot with her long-time boyfriend Nupur Shikhare, who was Aamir’s fitness trainer.
Reena was involved briefly in Aamir’s career when she worked as an executive producer for the actor’s Oscar-nominated film Lagaan. In December 2002, he filed for divorce and took custody of both children.

It is a complex story that explores love and its challenges, blending humor and heart to create an engaging cinematic experience. This project is backed by Phantom Studios and AGS Entertainment.
