Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao divorced!

As people are fighting the menace of #CoronaPandemic, comes a shocking news of superstar #AamirKhan and his wife of the last 15 years #KiranRao calling it quits. Yes, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao are heading for divorce. They are parting amicably without washing dirty linen in the public. Both were contemplating to go separate ways for quite some time and now they have reached a mutual decision to live life without each other.

Aamir Khan married his lady love Reena Dutta at quite an young age and their association lasted for about 15 years after Aamir fell in love with Kiran Rao. During the making of ‘Lagaan’, Kiran Rao was an assistant director and used to be in close proximity of Aamir Khan. Incidentally his first wife Reena was a producer of the said movie. After the completion of Lagaan Aamir decided to divorce Reena as he was planning to marry Kiran. His marriage with Kiran too lasted for 15 years and today both issued a joint statement that they are separated for good. Aamir has two children from his first marriage, Junaid and Ira, and one son, Azad Rao Khan from his second wedlock.

Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao issued a joint statement which reads, “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 begin a new chapter in our lives – no longer as husband and wife, but as co-parents and family for each other. We began a planned separation some time ago, and now feel comfortable to formalise this arrangement, of living separately yet sharing our lives the way an extended family does. We remain devoted parents to our son Azad, who we will nurture and raise together. We will also continue to work as collaborators on films, Paani Foundation, and other projects that we feel passionate about. A big thank you to our families and friends for their constant support and understanding about this evolution in our relationship, and without whom we would not have been so secure in taking this leap. We request our well wishers for good wishes and blessings, and hope that – like us – you will see this divorce not as an end, but as the start of a new journey.

Thanks and love,
Kiran and Aamir.”
