Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, known for his emotional depth and unwavering professionalism, was notably absent from the much-anticipated re-release of the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, held recently to commemorate the film’s 30th anniversary. While fans hoped to see the iconic cast reunite for the special event, sources close to the actor have now revealed that Aamir was in “no state” to attend the celebration due to a personal tragedy linked to Pahalgam, Kashmir.
The tragedy in question reportedly involved a deeply personal loss for the actor while he was in Pahalgam for a quiet retreat. Although Aamir Khan has not made an official public statement, insiders shared that the incident left him emotionally shaken, prompting him to withdraw from all scheduled appearances, including the Andaz Apna Apna re-release screening.
The event, which saw co-stars Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, and director Rajkumar Santoshi make an appearance, was a nostalgic affair celebrating the film that has grown into a cult favorite over the decades. While the absence of Aamir was noted, his colleagues and fans expressed their full support and understanding. A close friend of the actor said, “Aamir was truly heartbroken. He wanted to be there, but given what happened in Pahalgam, it just wasn’t possible. He needed space and time.”

Released in 1994, Andaz Apna Apna was initially a box office underperformer but later became a beloved comedy through word-of-mouth and television reruns. The film is now celebrated for its iconic dialogues, memorable characters, and the rare pairing of Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.
This latest re-release was designed not only as a nostalgic trip down memory lane but also as a tribute to Indian cinema’s timeless charm. While fans missed seeing Aamir Khan revisit his character Amar on stage, many took to social media to send their prayers and support, using hashtags like #WeMissYouAamir and #AndazApnaApna30.
As fans hope for Aamir Khan’s recovery from this difficult time, the actor is expected to return to work later this year once he has had the time to heal. Meanwhile, the legacy of Andaz Apna Apna continues to bring smiles across generations, reminding everyone of the magic of cinema—and the real-life humanity of its stars.
