Aamir Khan opens up about his alcohol addiction 'I drank a lot'

Bollywood star Aamir Khan recently opened up about his emotional struggles after his divorce from Reena Dutta. In a conversation with Instant Bollywood, he shared how deeply affected he was by the separation

After ending his 16-year marriage in 2002, Aamir felt lost and depressed. He revealed, “When Reena and I broke up the first time, I was in mourning for almost two to three years. I wasn’t working or listening to scripts. I was alone at home, and for almost 1.5 years, I drank a lot. You will be shocked to



know that I was a teetotaler.”

Previously a non-drinker, Aamir began drinking heavily and would finish a bottle every day. He described himself as “Devdas,” someone hurting himself due to lost love.

Eventually, Aamir Khan understood the importance of acceptance. He said, “You have to face your losses and accept that what was yours is no longer there. Cherish the memories and understand their value.” This realization helped him overcome his depression and stop drinking completely.
