Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao announced their divorce in 2021 after over 15 years of marriage. And now in an interview with ANI, the ‘ Laapataa Ladies ’ director said her parents were shocked when she wanted to marry him. Rao said, “It was a shocker for them.
They were taken aback. In their eyes, I had a lot of promise. I was someone who wanted to do a lot of things, and they were worried that I might be overshadowed by Aamir’s larger-than-life persona.
When you marry someone incredibly famous, you do lose a part of your own identity. It took me a long time to find my own voice again.” “Aamir has never expected me to be a certain way.
He has always been happy for me to be myself, and that’s one of the greatest things about him. His family is incredibly warm," Rao continued. Kiran Rao , who garnered accolades for her latest film Laapataa Ladies , opened up on her divorce from the megastar and the decision to part ways.
“Aamir and I lived together for about a year before we got married, and honestly, we did it more because of parents. At that time too, we knew that it’s a great institution if you can function as an individual as well as a couple within that institution,” said Kiran while talking to Brut India. She added, “I think the thing that we don’t talk about enough is how marriage tends to stifle especially women.
So, how you know you could perhaps find a way to be more yourself within it, is I think something that is up for debate and discussion.” Ta.
