Aamir Khan breaks silence on ‘love jihad’ claims
Speaking to Rediff, Aamir said his family has always believed in accepting people beyond religious boundaries. He explained that several members of his family are in interfaith marriages, and all of them chose civil marriages without asking their partners to change their faith.
Addressing the controversy, Aamir said, “The truth is that ours is a very inclusive family. Both my sisters are married to Hindus; my daughter is also married to a Hindu. My cousin Mansoor is married to a Christian.”
He further clarified that religion was never a condition in any of his marriages. “Neither Gauri, Kiran nor Reena converted their religion, as we had civil marriages. Gauri is not even Hindu, she is Christian, and not even a practising Christian at that. Life is getting more comical as time passes.”
Aamir married Gauri Spratt at his Mumbai residence on July 5. Before that, he was married to Reena Dutta from 1986 to 2002. He later tied the knot with filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005. The two announced their separation in 2021. The actor shares a cordial relationship with both of his ex-wives.
