Kiran Rao Opens Up About Relationship Timeline with Aamir Khan Amidst Divorce Speculation
The conjecture surrounding director Kiran Rao’s alleged involvement in the dissolution of Aamir Khan’s first marriage to Reena Dutta has persisted for years. However, Kiran has finally shed light on her bond with Aamir, dispelling misconceptions and setting the record straight on their love story.
Contrary to popular belief, Kiran Rao clarified that her romantic entanglement with Aamir Khan did not commence during the filming of the iconic movie “Lagaan.” In a recent revelation, she disclosed that they began dating several years after collaborating on the memorable cinematic venture.
Amidst the backlash and trolling she faced for her relationship with Aamir, who was previously married to Reena Dutta, Kiran Rao addressed the unjust blame thrust upon her for the demise of Aamir’s first marriage.
The couple’s separation occurred in 2002, a year following the release of “Lagaan.” However, the genesis of their affair dates back further than commonly assumed. Kiran Rao unveiled that she and Aamir Khan rekindled their connection during the filming of “Swades,” not “Lagaan” as widely speculated.
She clarified that their relationship blossomed while she assisted Ashutosh Gowariker, coinciding with Aamir’s preparations for “Mangal Pandey’s” shoot. This revelation dispels the erroneous timeline surrounding their romantic involvement.
Reflecting on her relationship status during the “Lagaan” days, Kiran Rao disclosed that she was involved with someone else at that time and had minimal interaction with Aamir on the set. She emphasized that their romantic journey commenced in 2004, refuting claims that their connection during “Lagaan” led to Aamir’s divorce.
Addressing their current status, in 2021, Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan parted ways. Despite their separation, they have been spotted together on various occasions, maintaining a professional collaboration.
Kiran’s active participation in the wedding festivities of Aamir’s daughter, Ira Khan, earlier this January, underscores her continued involvement in significant family events, despite their personal separation.
In her conversation with Zoom, Kiran Rao provided a clear and accurate account of the timeline of her relationship with Aamir Khan, dispelling myths and offering insight into their enduring bond amidst divorce speculation.
