Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently shared a nostalgic yet surprising story from one of the most important days of his life — his wedding day. Appearing on a television show, Aamir revealed that his marriage to his first wife, Reena Dutta, on April 18, 1986, was overshadowed by an unforgettable cricket match between India and Pakistan.
According to Aamir, while the wedding festivities were underway, everyone had one eye on the TV screen as the tense match played out. India appeared to be heading for victory, bringing smiles and excitement to the Indian fans — including Aamir himself.

But things took a dramatic turn when Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Javed Miandad hit a stunning last-ball six off India’s Chetan Sharma, leading Pakistan to a historic win in what is now considered one of the most iconic moments in cricket history.
Aamir candidly admitted that the loss left him heartbroken — so much so that despite it being his wedding day, his mood was heavily affected by the match outcome. “I was so upset that Pakistan won, I couldn’t enjoy my own wedding properly,” he confessed with a smile.
Years later, Aamir got the chance to meet Javed Miandad on a flight. Still holding on to that memory, he shared the story with Miandad, telling him how his six not only crushed India’s hopes but also spoiled the mood of his wedding day. The story left both celebrities in laughter, showcasing how cricket often blends into the most personal moments in the lives of its passionate fans.
The incident not only highlights Aamir Khan’s deep love for cricket but also reflects how the game can emotionally impact millions — even Bollywood’s biggest stars — in unexpected ways.
