"Javed bhai, aapne thik nahin kiya" - Aamir Khan reveals funny story of how an India-Pakistan match ruined his wedding

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan revealed a funny story of how a match between India and Pakistan ruined his wedding. He appeared in an interview on The Lallantop, where he made the revelation.

In the interview, Aamir recalled the story from his marriage on April 18, 1986. India and Pakistan were playing each other on the same day in Sharjah in the final of the Austral-Asia Cup. In the game, former Pakistan batter Javed Miandad had hit a six off the last ball to win the match for his team.

"18 April ko hamari shaadi hui, 1986. Mujhe yaad hai yeh wahi din hai jab Sharjah mai Javed Miandad ne last ball pe chakka mara. Same day humari shaadi hui. Woh match hum jeet rahe the. Mujhe badi khushi hui. Khushi ki din hai aur ussi din hum Pakistan ko harayenge toh aur maza ayega. Mai bada excited tha. (Our wedding took place on 18 April, 1986. I remember it was the same day when Javed Miandad had hit a six of the last ball in Sharjah. Our wedding was on the same day. We were winning the game. I was very happy. It was a day of happiness and it would be more fun if we beat Pakistan on the same day. I was very excited)," he said.

"Last ball pe pata nahi kaha se chakka mar diya. Baad me mai Javed Miandad se mila bhi tha ek flight pe bohot saal baad. Maine kaha Javed bhai, aapne thik nahin kiya. Aapne meri shaadi barbaad kardi. Ussi din aapne chakka mara tha. (I don't know from where he hit a six on the last ball. Many years later I met him somewhere on a flight. I told Javed that what he did was not right. I told him you spoilt my marriage. You hit a six on the same day)," the actor added.

India had posted a total of 245/7 batting first. However, Javed struck an unbeaten century, scoring 116* as Pakistan won the match by one wicket.
