Aamir Khan and his first wife, Reena Datta were neighbours and used to stare at each other from their windows. According to reports, Aamir Khan was the first one to fall in love and had tried multiple times to express his love for Reena, only to face rejections. It was later, when Aamir had stopped approaching and wooing her that Reena had reciprocated his love.
It was reported that Aamir Khan was madly in love with Reena Datta that he had also written her a love letter with his blood. Due to their religious difference, Aamir Khan and Reena Datta had eloped and tied the knot on April 18, 1986. However, things did not work well between them as 16 years after their married life, in 2002, Aamir Khan and Reena Datta were granted a divorce. However, their divorce was a mutual one, without arguments, and they still share a great bond.
