Aamir Khan says Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad ruined his wedding with Reena Dutta: ‘Depression mein chala gaya tha main’

Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta got married when they were really young. Aamir had just turned 21. They had fallen in love as they were neighbours when they first met each other. Of course, their parents were against each other and Reena’s mother made her promise her that she won’t ever meet him.

Thus, the duo secretly had a court marriage. This was even before Aamir’s debut film ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ had released.In a recent interview, Aamir shared details of his wedding and how Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad spoilt his wedding day for him. Aamir and Reena had run away and got married. They returned home as if nothing had happened. He said, “Mujhe laga sab puchenge kahaan the itni der (We thought our families will question us about being so late).”

But luckily for them, that day there was an India-Pakistan match and everyone was so engrossed in it. Thus, nobody even noticed that they were not at home.But the match put Aamir in depression. He said, “It was India-Pakistan match day. The same match where Javed Miandad hit a six on the last ball. We were winning that match so nobody cared to ask us about our absence for so long. I too joined them and was watching cricket, however, Javed’s six ruined it all.

Once I happened to meet him on the flight when I told him, ‘Javed bhai aapne theek nahi kiya. Aapne meri shadi barbaad kardi (You ruined my wedding).

He was like, ‘Kaise? (How)’ I said, ‘Usi din aapne chakka mara tha. Depression mein chala gaya tha mai. (Your six put me in depression.)'”Later, when Reena’s parents got to know of their secret wedding, they were quite upset with her. Her father also suffered a heart attack. But that eventually got the families closer and Reena’s family accepted her wedding. Later, Reena’s brother got married to Aamir’s sister Farhat. However, Aamir and Reena got divorced in 2002.
