Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan amicably parted ways in 2021. They were married for 15 years, and till date, the two of them share strong friendship and professional camaraderie. They also co-parent their son Azad, and the former couple was recently seen promoting Kiran바카라™s directorial venture, 바카라˜Laapataa Ladies바카라™ as well, which is in fact, bankrolled by Aamir바카라™s production house.  

During an interview with Brut India, Kiran talked about her divorce from the actor, and said, 바카라œAamir and I lived together for about a year before we got married, and honestly, we did it more because of our parents. At that time too, we knew that it바카라™s a great institution if you can function as an individual as well as a couple within that institution.바카라

She further highlighted how marriage can have a negative impact on people, especially women. She said, 바카라œI think the thing that we don바카라™t talk about enough is how marriage tends to stifle, especially women. So, how do you know you could perhaps find a way to be more yourself within it, is I think something that is up for debate and discussion.바카라

Mentioning how she 바카라œtook my sweet time so I didn바카라™t have any worry about it,바카라 Kiran mentioned how her strong relationship with Aamir allowed her to deal with the divorce better. Kiaran said, 바카라œThe thing is, Aamir and I were very strong and continue to have a very strong relationship as two humans. We are very connected to each other; we deeply respect and love each other, so that hasn바카라™t changed, and so, therefore, I was not worried. I knew that I needed my space. I wanted to live independently, and I needed that to grow myself.바카라

For those caught unaware, the 바카라˜Dhobi Ghat바카라™ director first met Aamir on the sets of 바카라˜Lagaan바카라™, and despite their divorce, they continue to 바카라œcare for each other and don바카라™t have any problems or deep disagreements바카라. 

Meanwhile, on the other side, Aamir, during ABP Network바카라™s Ideas of India Summit in  February, talked about his separation from Kiran, and shared, 바카라œEk mazedaar cheez hai. Hum log ka divorce abhi hua hai aap log ko pata hi hoga. Ek din shaam ko main baitha hua tha, maine bola Kiran, kya lagta hai as a husband mujhme kya kya kami thi? What can I improve abhi aage chal raha hu life mein. (Here is an interesting anecdote: We recently got divorced, as you all may be aware. In the evening, after we called it quits, I asked Kiran, 바카라˜What did I lack as a husband? How can I do moving forward?바카라™).바카라

Aamir Khan was earlier married to Reena Dutta, and the two filed for divorce in 2002.
