Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who is gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, recalled how his biggest red flag in a relationship was being passive-aggressive towards loved ones when hurt or upset. The actor opened up about his relationship with his second ex-wife Kiran Rao and revealed there was a time when he went without speaking to her for more than three days, which left her crying. 
Aamir Khan would shut down when hurt 
In a group interview, Aamir shared, “When I used to get hurt from people close to me, I used to shut down. If I`m upset with Reena (Dutta) or Kiran, I used to get so hurt that I wouldn`t talk to them. Steel shutters used to come. Now, those poor people are not able to reach me. They want to pacify me. They want to apologize to me. You feel like you`re talking to a wall. That`s a very big red flag.”

He continued, “I remember once Kiran did something, and I got very upset. I stopped talking to her for about 3 days. And the poor thing is trying. I`m ignoring her like she`s not there in my life. How can a person be so hard? She started crying on the third or fourth day and said, ‘I don`t understand what I should do with you. You`re not answering me. You`ve cut me off. What have I done?’ The highlight is that when she`s crying, I`m feeling bad too. But I can`t say, ‘It`s okay.’ I was very passive-aggressive.”
