Aamir Khan Faces Online Backlash Over Personal Life Following Appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 Promo

Bollywood actors Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol, and Preity Zinta are set to appear as special guests on the 18th season of the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. The appearance is part of the promotional campaign for their upcoming film, “Batwara 1947,” which is scheduled for release on August 14.

In a newly released promotional clip for the show, Khan is seen engaging with Bachchan regarding the season’s central theme, “Sochna Padega” (One must think). Khan asks the veteran host to clarify what exactly contestants need to contemplate. Bachchan responds in his characteristic style, explaining that the challenges this season will be complex, requiring participants to think carefully at every stage. Khan agreed with the sentiment, remarking that one truly does need to think.

Following the release of the promotional footage, segments of the online audience directed criticism toward Khan, focusing on his recent personal life rather than the upcoming film. Several social media users targeted the actor over his third marriage, which took place last month. Comments ranged from sarcastic inquiries about a potential fourth marriage to mocking references to the show’s theme, with some users suggesting that Khan should have “thought more” before entering his latest marriage.

Aamir Khan married Gauri Spratt on July 5, 2026, at his residence in Bandra, Mumbai. The marriage was formalized under the Special Marriage Act in an intimate ceremony attended only by close friends and family members. This marks Khan’s third marriage.
