Kiran Rao says her parents asked her if she’s friends with Aamir Khan, why not stay married

Laapataa Ladies director Kiran Rao recently shed light on her divorce from Aamir Khan. In a recent interview with Faye D'Souza, Kiran Rao admitted that parting ways was a tough decision to take but mentioned that she is happy they divorced.

“It's been a very happy divorce. I feel relationships need to be redefined from time to time because we change as human beings as we grow. We need different things and this (divorce) is what I felt would make me happy and has made me very happy, honestly.”

“Before Aamir, I was single for a very long time. I really enjoyed my independence. I was lonely, but now I have Azad (her son), so I tend not to be lonely. I think loneliness is the only thing that most people are a bit worried about when they get divorced or lose a partner. I haven't felt lonely at all. In fact, I am supported by both families, his family and mine. So, actually, it has been only good stuff. It's been a very happy divorce,” she added.
