‘After
the
split
(with
Reena
Dutta),
I
couldn’t
sleep
at
night.
So
I
started
drinking.’

After
his
divorce
with
Reena
Dutta,
Aamir
Khan
took
to
the
bottle
and
the
phase
lasted
for
18
months.
‘Main
Devdas
tha,’
he
flashbacks
in
an
interview
to
Instant
Bollywood.
‘I
was
in
mourning
for
two-three
years.
I
was
at
home
all
alone
for
one-and-a-half
years
and
I
drank
a
lot,’
he
added.
Aamir

Ira.
They

‘I
drank
an
entire
bottle
in
a
day.
Before
that,
I
was
a
teetotaler.
After
the
split
(with
Reena),
I
couldn’t
sleep
at
night.
So
I
started
drinking,’
