Aamir Khan celebrated his 60th birthday in March. It was that day when he also introduced his girlfriend Gauri Spratt to the media. That night when he turned 60, his family members and very close friends organised an intimate birthday party for him. The actor admitted that he has cut down on alcohol immensely, but that day he did drink and he has no memory of what happened later.Khan who is gearing up for the release of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, said during a chat with Mashable India, “Everyone organised a birthday party for me on my 60th. They invited all my near and dear ones, it was supposed to be a memorable day. I don’t drink much these, I’ve cut down alcohol consumption to almost zero. But that day, because it was a big birthday, everybody insisted that I have a drink or two. The thing with me is that I’m not someone who restricts himself; I’m an extreme person. And because I haven’t been drinking much, my body wasn’t used to it. We started at around 7 pm, and by 9 pm, I knew that I was buzzing.”He added, “This has happened to me a few times. When I woke up the next morning, I had no memory of the previous evening. There were videos and photos, and they told me that everyone said nice things about me, but I didn’t remember anything. It was a blackout. I was conducting myself normally during the party, but I have zero memories of my 60th birthday celebration. I was reacting to what people were saying about me, but the memory has been wiped out completely.”A few years ago, Aamir had confessed that he is now sober due to his past experiences with alcohol. He had said that he took to alcohol in depression when he separated from his first wife Reena Dutta. Aamir said during a chat with Instant Bollywood, “I couldn’t sleep at night, and I started drinking. From someone who didn’t drink at all, I went to being someone who drank an entire bottle in a day. I was like Devdas, someone who is trying to destroy themselves. I did that for 1.5 years. I was in a deep depression.”
