Later, Reena confessed to him that she felt the same way about him just when Aamir had given up hope. In 1999, the actor said during an interview, “I spent a little more time than natural in front of my window. I just told her that I loved her.” He further continued, “And I hoped that she felt the same about me.”

He wanted to stay away and get over her as soon as possible.
