Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta separated in 2002 after 16 years of marriage. After getting divorced, both of them took care of their children together. Meanwhile, Junaid Khan has spoken openly about his childhood and the experience of growing up with divorced parents. 

Junaid Khan shared this on his parents' divorce

In fact, while recalling his parents' divorce, Junaid Khan shared, "It was good. I think my parents got separated when I was eight years old. But they never let us feel that in reality. I never saw them fight till I was 19. The first time I saw my parents fight, I was 19. So we never saw them disagree or fight. They were always. When it came to us (Junaid and his sister Ira) they were one unit. So, I think that's the way they did it well. I think it was probably a maturity thing to do. I mean two good people are not always good together and that way we, at least I got a childhood in which both parents were happy".

Junaid Khan also told that his parents and sister Ira Khan meet each other regularly. He said, "It is great. We meet often. We all live within the same 100 meter radius. So we meet often. Actually every Tuesday evening we have tea with the family. So, mother, Ira, me and father, sometimes some of us are not free, but otherwise every Tuesday evening we meet, where all of us are four or three or two. We have been doing this for the last few years. We meet quite often".

Junaid Khan also spoke about how his father has “evolved” over time. “I think as time goes by, we all evolve as human beings. As he is growing up, he wants to spend more time with us. Sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes it is like, ‘Papa please…’ Overall it is mostly a good thing. Personally, I don’t think I missed it that much. Papa was always there. It’s not like he was completely absent. In fact, sometimes it was like, ‘Koi Baat Nahi, Mat Aana’ (It’s okay, don’t come).”
