Mumbai, March 3 (NationPress) The eagerly awaited ‘Lagaan’ reunion recently gathered the legendary cast and crew of the 2001 blockbuster film.
However, a significant absence was Reena Dutta, Aamir Khan’s first wife, who was not present at the gathering. The wedding of filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker’s son, Konark Gowariker, to Niyati Kanakia, daughter of real estate tycoon Rasesh Kanakia, took place on March 2 in Mumbai.
After the wedding ceremony, the family organized a lavish reception that saw numerous notable friends from the industry. Among the attendees were ‘Lagaan’ stars Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh. The Dhoom 3 actor looked sharp in a suit, while his ‘Lagaan’ co-star Gracy donned a beautiful pink lehenga.
Additional cast members, including Aditya Lakhia, who portrayed Kachra in ‘Lagaan,’ and producer Kiran Rao, also attended the celebration.

Interestingly, on the 20th anniversary of ‘Lagaan,’ Aamir reminisced about how his ex-wife, Reena, played a crucial role in the film's production. At a press conference, the PK actor fondly remembered how Reena supported him in realizing his dream.
Aamir noted, "I believe the most memorable aspect is how Reena managed the film. My ex-wife, who was a producer, had no prior knowledge of cinema. Although she was married to me for many years, she had no interest in films. So, when I asked her one night to help with my film production, she obliged.”
Additionally, among other celebrities who attended the wedding reception were veteran actress Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, Vidya Balan, Pooja Hegde, Sonali Bendre, Genelia D'Souza, and Riteish Deshmukh.
