Why has Sanjay Raut compared Sena-BJP ties to Aamir Khan-Kiran Rao

Mumbai, July 05: Amid rising speculations of an imminent alliance with the BJP, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday said his party's with the BJP will remain intact, despite differences in political ways.

"We are not India-Pakistan. Look at Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, it is like them. Our (Shiv Sena, BJP) political ways are different, but the friendship will remain intact," Raut told reporters signalling a thaw in ties between the former allies in Maharashtra.

The Bollywood actor recently announced his divorce but said the couple would "like to begin a new chapter in our lives - no longer as husband and wife, but as co-parents and family for each other".
