Aamir Khan-Gauri Spratt wedding: Why Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao didn't attend the ceremony

Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt's wedding continues to garner attention on social media. Amid the ongoing "love jihad" and fatwa controversy, fans also noticed that the actor's former wives, Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, did not attend his wedding, held on July 5. Now, Aamir's close friend and Lagaan co-star Amin Hajee has revealed the reason for their absence, shutting down rumours of tension.

Why did Aamir's former wives not attend his wedding

During an interview with Reddif, Amin revealed that Kiran was not in India at the time of the wedding. "Kiran was in the UK at the time; Azad flew back for the wedding."

Speaking about Reena's absence, Amin stated that staying away from the ceremony should not be interpreted as a conflict. "I think some absences are natural. Sometimes giving people their space is also a gesture of love and respect. You don’t want to make someone uncomfortable on such an important occasion," he added.

Speaking about Aamir's first wife, he said, "Reena was like a rock. She stepped in to produce Lagaan because she knew Aamir needed her support. Whenever there were disagreements over budgets or production, Aamir never dismissed her views. He would patiently explain why certain decisions had to be made for the sake of the film. There was a great deal of mutual respect between them. When Aamir told us that he and Reena were separating, I was heartbroken."

He also spoke about Gauri and shared, "Gauri is special in her own way. We’ve spent time together in Panchgani, where she enjoys long walks, nature, and a simple lifestyle. She’s an accomplished entrepreneur and has worked in the fashion and beauty business. But she does not talk about her achievements. What stands out about Gauri is her emotional intelligence. She listens before she speaks. She prefers to understand every side of a situation before forming an opinion."

Aamir was first married to Reena Dutta and they share two children, Ira and Junaid. After their separation, he tied the knot with filmmaker Kiran Rao, and the former couple welcomed their son Azad before announcing their separation in 2021.
