A difficult phase in Indian actor Aamir Khan’s personal life came into focus after he spoke about his habits following his separation from Reena Dutta.The PK actor had shared that the period after their split had been emotionally challenging for him.

He had revealed that he was not someone who drank alcohol earlier. However, things changed after he found himself alone at home when Reena moved out with their children.

Speaking about that time, he said, “I was a teetotaller until I went through my first divorce with Reena. On the first day when she left with the kids and I was alone at home, I couldn’t handle my emotions.”

The Sitaare Zameen Par actor added that he had access to alcohol at home and decided to try it that night. What started as a one- time decision soon became a regular habit during that phase.

“The next one and a half years, I drank almost a bottle a night. From someone who was not into alcohol at all, that was very extreme,” he said.

The Dil Chahta Hai actor also spoke earlier about the emotional impact of the separation. He said that the end of the marriage had been difficult for both families, but they had tried to handle it with care.

Over time, he moved forward in both his personal and professional life. He continued working on films and remained active in the industry after that period.
