There is something so special about love stories that they always manage to strike a chord with our hearts. Filled with happiness, joy, love, care, compassion, arguments, and a lot of tears, love stories are indeed a treat to watch and listen about. However, not just in reel life, even real life stories are equally magical, and trust us on this, they do exist. Over the years, we have seen many celebrity couples, whose love stories are no less than a romantic Bollywood movie as they are full of emotions, drama and laughter.
Talking about actor, Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta's love story, it was nothing short of a fairytale! The ex-couple was neighbours, and they would often stare at each other through their windows. Soon, Aamir fell head-over-heels in love with Reena, and it was only after multiple attempts of expressing his die-hard love for her, he was finally able to woo her. Later, due to religious differences, Aamir and Reena had eloped and tied the knot in 1986. The duo was blessed with two kids, Ira Khan and Junaid Khan. However, in 2002, the couple had separated without any ugly spats and arguments, and they still maintain a cordial relationship with each other.
