Family life

Aamir went directly into films from college and made his first big hit playing ... a college boy. Publicists tried to position him as a teen idol, every college girl's dream. In order to do so, they buried all evidence of his 1988 marriage to Reena Datta, who (though not a professional actress and already married to him at that time) made a brief appearance in a song sequence in his first hit film, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. It was big news when the marriage was first revealed.

However, Aamir's popularity survived the revelation, and his marriage to Reena seemed to have survived too. They had two children and led a quiet, publicity-shunning family life. Reena was even involved, briefly, in Aamir's career when she worked as a producer for Lagaan. It was a big surprise to the film-going public when Aamir Khan and Reena divorced in 2003. Aamir has since been linked romantically to several women, but is still single.
