He felt isolated and this loneliness forced himself to start having alcohol which he continued having heavily for around a year and a half. He said: “I wasn’t working or listening to scripts. I was alone at home, and for almost 1.5 years, I drank a lot. You will be shocked to know that I was a teetotaler. After the split up, I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t sleep at night, and I started drinking.” He added that, “From someone who didn’t drink at all, I went to being someone who drank an entire bottle in a day. I was like Devdas, someone who is trying to destroy themselves. I did that for 1.5 years. I was in a deep depression.”

Aamir explained how after some time he eventually learned to accept the reality and face the loss. He said, “You have to face your losses and accept how important it was for you. Accept that what was once yours is not there now. Also accept how good it was for you when it was there and how much you will miss it when it isn’t there anymore.”

Aamir Khan’s New Relationship

Aamir also revealed that he is no longer into all this and has stopped drinking alcohol as well. Also, recently on his birthday, he introduced his new partner Gauri Spratt to the public and expressed that he feels ‘committed’ with her.
