Overview
- Aamir Khan, speaking on Duologue with Barun Das and widely reported this week, said he drank almost a bottle every night for about a year and a half after his 2002 separation from Reena Dutta.
- He said the drinking began the day Reena left with their children and he was alone at home, which he said he could not handle emotionally.
- He described himself as a teetotaller before the breakup, saying he had only tasted alcohol once or twice for film scenes.
- Indian Express, Times of India, Hindustan Times, Times Now, Mid-day, Telegraph India, and Bollywood Hungama all cite the Duologue episode as the source for his account.
- Coverage places the disclosure in the context of his cordial co-parenting with Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, his relationship with Gauri Spratt, and his production Ek Din slated to release on May 1.
