Aamir Khan Says Pak Cricketer Javed Miandad Ruined His Wedding Day

July 2, 2025 – Bollywood icon Aamir Khan has shared a humorous anecdote about how Pakistani cricket legend Javed Miandad inadvertently stole the spotlight on his wedding day. In a recent interview with The Lallantop, Khan recounted how Miandad’s iconic last-ball six during the 1986 Austral-Asia Cup final in Sharjah turned his marriage to Reena Dutta into a bittersweet memory.

Khan, then 21, and Dutta eloped on April 18, 1986, defying family objections. Expecting questions upon returning home, they were relieved to find their families distracted by the India-Pakistan cricket match. “We thought they’d ask where we’d been, but it was the day Javed Miandad hit that six,” Khan said. Expecting an Indian victory to cap his joyous day, Khan was left “depressed” when Miandad’s dramatic shot off Chetan Sharma secured Pakistan’s win, overshadowing his nuptials.

Years later, Khan met Miandad on a flight and playfully confronted him, saying, “Javed bhai, aapne theek nahi kiya. Aapne meri shadi barbaad kardi (You ruined my wedding).” Miandad, amused, asked how, to which Khan replied, “Usi din aapne chakka mara tha (That day you hit a six).” The lighthearted exchange has since gone viral on X, with fans calling it a “legendary crossover” of cricket and Bollywood.

The story underscores the emotional weight of India-Pakistan cricket rivalry, with Miandad’s six remaining a defining moment in cricket history. For Khan, it’s a nostalgic tale of personal joy clashing with sporting heartbreak, now a charming footnote in his storied career.
