Speaking on Duologue with Barun Das, Aamir Khan opened up about the separation and 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 at that time. I had never drunk alcohol. I had consumed it once or twice for a couple of scenes, but that was only because I had to for the scene. I was not into alcohol at all.”
