In a rare interview that has surfaced on the internet, Aamir Khan opened up about his personal life and the circumstances around how he met his wife, Kiran Rao. The actor spoke about the trauma following his divorce with Reena Dutta, and how he eventually found happiness with Kiran.
I met Kiran when I was doing Lagaan. She was one of the ADs (assistant directors) on that but at that time, we didn’t have any relationship, we were not even great friends. She was one of the people on the unit. It was after my separation and divorce after some time that I met her again. In that moment of trauma, her phone came and I talked to her on the phone for half an hour. And when I put the phone down, I said, ‘My God! I feel so happy when I talk to her.’ It struck me in that instant that when I am talking to her I am so happy.Aamir Khan

She is a wonderful person as well. Sometimes a relationship doesn’t work but I have a lot of love and respect for her. In fact, we are working together on this Paani project. She is the COO of the company.Aamir Khan
