Aamir Khan has been a doting actor who is fully committed to his craft. However, sometimes this has led to him being avoidant towards those in his real life. While the actor has worked on it in the last few years, during a recent interview, he also reflected on how his actions once hurt his ex-wife, Kiran Rao.
Aamir Khan recalled making his ex-wife, Kiran Rao, cry due to emotional immaturity
Aamir Khan is well known for his perfectionism when it comes to his work as an actor, and he has also been equally candid about his personal life. In a recent podcast with Raj Shamani, Aamir once again opened up about a painful incident that left his ex-wife, Kiran Rao, in tears. During the conversation, the Taare Zameen Par actor was asked about any red flags he might have when it comes to his relationships. Aamir, without a beat, responded by stating that being a ‘workaholic’ was one of them.
In the same conversation, Aamir Khan recalled how he used to be consumed by work in his early years in the industry. He confessed that he was emotionally immature, and it would often get the better of him. Reflecting on an incident in the past, he revealed how he would completely withdraw from those around him and not speak for several days.
Aamir Khan recalled his argument with his now ex-wife, Kiran Rao and revealed how things escalated for him emotionally, despite them being in the same room. He shared that he would not respond to her and shut down completely even when they were physically together. He added that after four days, it got so bad that Kiran started crying. He was quoted as saying:
“Bilkul response nahin kar raha… itna hard… 4th-day raat ko woh mujhse baat karne ki koshish kar rahi thi aur main bilkul jawab nahin de raha tha to ek point pe woh rone lagi aur unhone kaha mujhe samajh nahin aa raha main kya karun aap to bilkul respond hee nahin kar rahe ho.”
Aamir Khan revealed his ego got the better of him
Reflecting on his choices back then, Aamir Khan revealed in the same conversation that he felt a mix of feelings, which kept him from making peace. He added that even though he knew that things were going too far, he couldn’t do anything because of his ego. The actor admitted that being stubborn and proud kept him from forgiving or reaching out. Aamir acknowledged that he wanted to resolve things, but his emotional state didn’t allow him to take the first step. However, he soon found help through therapy and recognised the pattern within himself. He called his inability to forgive once he felt deeply hurt another red flag he has.
