From the very start, Aamir has been staying very much dedicated to his acting career. That’s undenying. It’s possible that because of this and also young age, he failed to serve the responsibility of a husband.
It didn’t stop there. While we talk about Reena Dutta’s divorce, other factors also played a huge role in it. Like what? That’s his dating rumors with co-actors including- Preity Zinta, Pooja Bhatt, and model Jessica Hines. It is believed to have caused a rift to some extent.

The actor added saying, “We tried to deal with the situation as best as we could. Reena and I did not lose love or respect for each other post our split.”
Understandably, things between them ended up on a good note. The Taare Zameen Par actor continued to thankhims allowing him him the opportunity to be in her life.
Both of them were pretty much young at the time. He addressed her as a “wonderful person”, and “warm and mature.” Besides his mother and Kiran, Reena is also a very “important woman” in his life.

Naturally, things were not so smooth and easy. You will be surprised to know that their marriage was very much “economical.” It just cost them Rs. 10. He also recalled how he took a bus (211) with a fair of 50 paise and reached the marriage registrar’s office.
Well, not everyone is aware of Reena. What is she up to, at present? She has detached herself from the luxurious, glamorous world. Now, it seems like she is very much into painting. That’s what her social media suggests. Perhaps, she gotten herself involved with several exhibitions.
Not all marriages last till eternity and that’s okay. It’s good that both, Reena and Aamir Khan acted maturely and didn’t end it on a bad note, having hatred and no respect for each other. Things were and are still good between the two.
