Aamir Khan’s marriage to Reena Dutta was reportedly broken down by his ex-partner Kiran Rao, who has strongly denied that their love affair occurred during the making of “Lagaan” as per popular opinion. In a recent interview with Zoom, Kiran explained that her relationship with Aamir began during the filming of “Swades” in 2004, while A.M. was busy working on “Mangal Pandey.” “Aamir and I didn’t really meet, as many people assumed they did” Kiran responded by saying.
She elaborated, saying “We had a few commercials together for Coke with Ashutosh Gowariker in the “Swades” era and that’s when we got our spark back. According to Kiran, she had a boyfriend during the filming of “Lagaan” and did not interact much with Aamir. In 2002, Aamir and Reena parted ways after the release of “Lagaan.” Kiran emphasized that their relationship did not start until 2004, dispelling the myth that she was responsible for Aamir’s divorce. Kiran clarified that she and Aamir went to couples counselling after getting married, realizing the impact their past relationships had on them.
Such counselling is crucial, she said: ‘To get through any difficulties, you have to talk openly and honestly with your partner. Kiran remarked on the importance of honesty and mutual understanding in their relationship. She said: ‘When you marry someone who has been in another relationship, there is always something on your mind that changes. Their dedication to transparency and communication fostered a positive atmosphere, enabling them to address concerns and build chemistry.
Kiran and Aamir’s separation was announced in 2021, but they continue to raise their son Azad, who was born in December 2011. They have a shared passion for each other, as demonstrated by their co-production of Kiran’s latest movie, “Laapataa Ladies.” Their mutual respect and commitment to their family is reflected in their amicable co-parenting and professional partnership.
Ultimately, Kiran Rao rejects the claim that Aamir Khan’s divorce from Reena Dutta occurred because their relationship had taken a significant turn after his ex-wife left him. The importance of open communication, mutual respect, and seeking professional help during relationships is emphasized in their journey. Kiran and Aamir remain together as parents and collaborators, focusing on the family they share.
