In a rare moment of brutal honesty, Aamir Khan opened up about his emotional unavailability during his marriage to Kiran Rao, revealing how his ego and silence became major red flags in their relationship.
“Main itna hurt ho jaata tha ki main baat hi nahi karta tha. Steel ke shutter aate the,” Aamir confessed, explaining how he’d shut down entirely during conflicts. He recalled a painful episode where Kiran tried to patch things up for days, but he remained cold and distant. “Voh bichari koshish kiye ja rahi hai… main completely ignore kar raha hoon,” he said.
The turning point came when Kiran broke down crying, saying, “Aapne toh mujhe zindagi se cut hi kar diya hai… aisa maine kya kar diya?” Though Aamir felt guilty and wanted to say “It’s okay,” the words never came. “Main apne aap se keh raha tha, par nikal hi nahi raha tha. That’s a big red flag. I was passive-aggressive, unforgiving,” he admitted.
Aamir’s emotional confession sheds light on the silent damage unresolved anger and pride can inflict in a relationship — a rare and powerful moment of self-reflection from the actor.
