Aamir Khan recently graced the screens of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show,' where he shared a side-splitting incident from his past. During the episode, Aamir reminisced about the time his ex-wife Reena Dutta took him by surprise during their son Junaid's birth. As the conversation veered towards Aamir's keen observations as an actor, he delved into a personal memory.
«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,» Aamir recalled. However, his attempts to calm Reena down were met with unexpected reactions.
«As the labor got intense, I tried to calm her down with it. But I got slapped, followed by Reena Ji saying, 'Stop this nonsense!'. She was in immense pain. She even bit my hand,» Aamir shared with a chuckle.
Reflecting on the intensity of the moment, Aamir noted, «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.»
Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta were married for 16 years before parting ways. They have two children, Junaid
