On September 22, 2024, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao made headlines as they continue to work together despite their personal separation. Kiran Rao, currently basking in the success of her 2024 film Laapataa Ladies, spoke about her professional relationship with Aamir Khan during a special event. Although the two parted ways as a couple in 2021 after 15 years of marriage, they have maintained a healthy working relationship, co-producing Laapataa Ladies together.
Kiran, when asked about the possibility of future collaborations with Aamir, expressed enthusiasm, saying that she enjoys working with him and is always open to future projects. However, she emphasized that any future partnership would depend on the type of project and the organic progression of the storyline. She shared that while Aamir had produced Laapataa Ladies, she remains open to working with him either as a producer or actor in future endeavors.
In addition to their professional ties, Kiran Rao has recently shared her hopes for Laapataa Ladies to be considered as India’s official entry to the Oscars. The film, which premiered earlier in 2024, is a heartfelt comedy-drama centered around two brides who get swapped during a train journey. It highlights themes of gender equality and women’s empowerment in rural India. Rao has received positive feedback for the film, and even the Chief Justice of India praised its message, further boosting its chances for international recognition.
Despite their divorce, Aamir and Kiran continue to maintain a close bond, both professionally and personally, often seen co-parenting their son, Azad, and attending family events together. Their ability to balance personal relationships with professional commitments has set a positive example for fans and colleagues alike.
