In his interview with ETimes, Aamir stated:  “It was extremely difficult at that point. After my marriage fell apart, main hil chuka tha (I was shaken). But I am a sportsman by nature, and I never give up. I have always been a happy soul, and I am glad that I am back to being that.”

“I don’t harbour ill feelings for anyone and I wish the best for my ex. Sab khush raho life mein (Everyone should just be happy).” During the pandemic, I got a lot of time to introspect. I started looking at the positives, be it from COVID-19 or my failed relationship,” he added.
