Aamir Khan and his ex-wife, Reena Datta were neighbours, when they had fallen in love. After a lot of effort, Aamir had managed to woo Reena, and they got married on April 18, 1986. Together, they have two kids, Ira Khan and Junaid Khan. However, their marriage could not stand the test of time and the two got divorced in 2002.
