Mumbai: Despite the divorce, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao remain friends and are an integral part of the Khan family. Kiran was present at all the events that took place in the family, including Ira Khan’s wedding. Aamir and Kiran’s equation has been questioned by netizens and they also wondered why they got divorced if they could have remained friends. Well, Kiran’s parents think the same. In an interview with Faye D’Souza, when asked if she faces the question of why she got divorced from Aamir if they could have remained friends, Kiran revealed that her parents have asked her the same question.
Kiran Rao reveals why she divorced Aamir Khan and continues to be friends with the superstar.
“I think I was very keen to make space for myself and feel independent again. We have a strong equation as co-parents, as a family really, to avoid divorce. I will be able to take personal time for myself comfortably knowing that Azad’s father is also my friend, family too. It took me a while to get there mentally and emotionally, even for Aamir. We needed to be secure in the fact that we are not going anywhere. We are there for each other for the long haul. We just don’t need to be married for that.”
Kiran is very happy after her divorce from Aamir Khan.
In the same interview Kiran revealed that it has been a very happy divorce for her, “I thought this is what will make me happy. And it has made me very happy. Before Aamir, I was single for a very long time. I enjoyed my freedom a lot. I was lonely, but now I have freedom so I am not lonely. I think loneliness is the only reason a lot of women worry about when they want to get a divorce or lose their partner. Luckily, I have not had to face that at all. I get a lot of support from both my family and his family and my friends. So it has been all good things. It has been a very happy divorce”.
Kiran and Aamir Khan were married in 2005 and are jointly raising their son Azad, born in 2011.
