Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao parted ways in 2021 after being married for almost 16 years. After their divorce, the couple has continued to be with each other on good terms. In a recent interview, Rao opened up about when she met Khan for the first time. She even spilled the beans and revealed when they started dating each other.

Appearing on Cyrus Broacha바카라s podcast, Kiran Rao spoke in detail about her past relationship with ex-husband Aamir Khan. She revealed that they met on the sets of 바카라Lagaan바카라. She said that Reema Kagti had asked her to join the films and she agreed to do so because she was in between jobs. Despite not having seen many Hindi films, she agreed to join. Reflecting on the 바카라huge risk바카라 Aamir was taking with the film, she noted it was a sports film set 100 years ago in Awadhi, a completely different dialect. She said, 바카라When I was in charge of getting all of them into layers and layers of their outfits, it was quite an experience. It was like a film school for me.바카라

Rao, who was an assistant director on the sets of 바카라Lagaan바카라, recalled that the initial three-month shooting schedule was extended to six months. She shared that it was a particularly eventful year for her, as she also worked on 바카라Monsoon Wedding바카라 during that time.
