Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, who were together for 15 years, announced their divorce in 2021. Despite their separation, both Aamir and Kiran share an amicable bond, and that was evident when Kiran turned up for Ira Khan’s wedding festivities. Not only with Aamir, but Kiran also shares a close friendship with Reena Dutta, Ira’s mother. In a recent interview, the filmmaker spoke about her bond with Reena and how it often shocks people to see them together.
Speaking to Film Companion, Kiran said, “Whenever Reena and I are out together, the cameras go crazy. They aren’t even interested in Aamir. Reena and I are like okay we’ll stand together and smile because we are friends. Coming to this juncture of being the modern family, I feel great. I am all for being the poster girl of this kind of a modern, inclusive family. There should be more of this. I’m happy to give tips to anyone on how to be friends with their ex’s ex-wives.”
“We need more people showing that marriage is a wonderful relationship and people can move on it and continue their relationship as friends or family or co-parents. We did it when Azad was a surrogate. It was again quite new for people to come out and say this and we were upfront about it,” she added.
Kiran continued, “It doesn’t bother me. I was surprised because you do see other ex-couples being fairly cordial with one another. I guess it isn’t often that people are so close because Aamir and I also work together and we live in the same building. His family is more mine than his in some ways. So I guess that is unusual. But I am delighted that people are… people should take it positively. There is nothing but positivity when it comes to this space.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kiran is awaiting the release of her next Laapataa Ladies, produced by Aamir Khan.
