The story of Khan's marriage garnered major public attention when it was first revealed.
During the years of 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', Khan married Reena Dutta. His parents did not approve of their marriage because of her not being a Muslim. As a result, Khan's marriage remained a secret both from his parents and the media for a while. Reena Dutta made a brief appearance in the popular song sequence 'Papa Kehte Hain' in 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'. The story of Khan's marriage garnered major public attention when it was first revealed. Even so, Reena Dutta maintained a low profile and continued her job at a travel agency. They had two children, a son named Junaid and a daughter, Ira, and led a quiet family life away from the public eye. Reena was involved, briefly, in Khan's career when she worked as a producer for 'Lagaan'. In December 2002, Aamir filed for divorce, ending his 15-year marriage with Reena taking the custody of both their children.
On December 28, 2005, Aamir married Kiran Rao who was an assistant director to Ashutosh Gowariker during the filming of 'Lagaan' where they both had met.
