Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is getting a divorce from his second wife Kiran Rao after 15 years of marriage.
They have given an official statement,”In these 15 beautiful years together we have shared a lifetime of experiences, joy, and laughter, and our relationship has only grown in trust, respect, and love.
Now we would like to start a new chapter in our life – no longer as husband and wife, but as co-parents and family to each other.
We began a planned separation a while back, and now feel comfortable formalizing the arrangement, sharing our lives as one extended family despite living apart.”
Further, they added, “We are dedicated parents to our son Azad, whom we will raise together.
We will also continue to collaborate on films, our foundation, and other projects that we feel passionate about. Many thanks to our families and friends for their continued support and understanding of this development in our relationship, and without whom we would not have been so safe to take this leap.
We seek best wishes and blessings from our well-wishers and hope that – like us – you will not see this divorce as the end but as the beginning of a new journey.”
Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao meeting took place on the sets of Lagaan
“I met Kiran during the movie Lagaan”. At that time Kiran was just a member of my team. She was then assistant director.
When I met Kiran after my divorce from Reena, we still had nothing special. She was not even my friend. One day I got a call from Kiran and we talked for around 30 minutes.
After the conversation with Kiran, I knew why I jumped up in happiness, I was feeling the joy inside me. After that phone call, I started liking Kiran, and eventually, we started dating.
We dated each other for 1-2 years and we also stayed together. Then I realized that I cannot think of my life without her. The best thing about her is that she is a strong woman. Then I named my relationship and then we two got married.”
Kiran and Aamir also have a loving son. Aamir has named his son Azad Rao Khan. Kiran Rao is the second wife of Aamir Khan.
Aamir’s first wife is Reena Dutta. Aamir and Reena got divorced in 2002. Aamir has two children Ira and Junaid from Reena.
