Bollywood actor Aamir Khan recently shared that he got so drunk on his 60th birthday that he doesn’t remember anything from that night. He said he had cut down on alcohol for a long time, but on that special day, he drank after a long break—and blacked out.
Aamir celebrated his 60th birthday in March with a private party thrown by his family and close friends. It was also the day he introduced his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, to the media.
Speaking with Mashable India, Aamir said, “Everyone planned a party for my 60th birthday and invited my loved ones. I don’t drink these days, but since it was a big occasion, everyone insisted I have a drink. I’m someone who goes to extremes, and since I hadn’t drunk in a long time, my body couldn’t handle it. We started drinking around 7 PM, and by 9 PM, I was already feeling dizzy.”
He added, “This has happened to me before. The next morning, I woke up and couldn’t remember anything from the night before. My family showed me videos and said people shared kind words about me, but I had no memory of it. I was talking and reacting normally, but my mind was completely blank.”

Aamir also talked about his past experiences with alcohol. He revealed that during his divorce from his first wife, Reena Dutta, he went into a deep depression. Speaking to Instant Bollywood, he shared, “I couldn’t sleep at night and started drinking. From someone who didn’t drink at all, I began drinking a full bottle a day. I felt like Devdas, trying to ruin myself. This went on for about a year and a half.”
Now, Aamir says he has become almost fully sober and rarely drinks.
