If a celebrity book ought to be written sharing tips and tricks on how to move on gracefully post-divorce, we would nominate Aamir Khan to do the honours! We cannot stop marvelling at how he has continued to stay connected to his ex-wife, Reena Dutta, and their children, even 18 years after they parted ways. Oh, and if a book must be written sharing tips and tricks on how to juggle intense work with relaxed downtime, we would nominate Aamir for this task too! Both these skills were in evidence as the star joined his kids, family and friends in celebrating Reena’s 50^th birthday.

Despite a gruelingly hectic promotion tour for his upcoming production, Secret Superstar, that has seen him travel all across the country and even abroad, Aamir still finds the time and the inclination to fulfill his personal commitments. On his return from Turkey, he did what it needed including re-scheduling some pressing meetings and engagements, to make sure he could attend the surprise party that his kids Junaid and Ira had planned for mom Reena’s 50^th.

A video has been grabbing eyeballs, which shows the birthday gal ready to cut her cake, even as daughter Ira is busy clicking pictures and making videos of the proceedings, and Aamir, thick in the middle of the action, is popping champagne! Completing this picture of domestic bliss, is Aamir’s wife, the quirky, charming Kiran Rao, happily participating in the fun.

The bond between Aamir and Reena clearly still endures, even if their 15-year-old marriage didn’t. Reena remains a part of Aamir’s world and is invariably a part of all the family functions. “Reena is extremely important and is very much a part of the family and she will always be,” Aamir has revealed in the past. “Our relationship has undergone a change.

From legal point of view, we are divorced. But I think the bond that we share is not going to break with a piece of paper. There is lot of love and regard for her in my heart.”
