She added, “I think the thing that we don’t talk about enough is how marriage tends to stifle especially women… There’s so much responsibility on the woman to run the house, to keep the family together… I took my sweet time, so I didn’t have any worry about it.”
Regarding her relationship with Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao said, “I knew I needed my space. I wanted to live independently, and I needed that to grow myself. I felt that it was for my own growth, and Aamir acknowledged that as well and supported that… So I didn’t fear a divorce.”
For the unversed, Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan got married in 2005 and parted ways in 2021. On the work front, Kiran’s latest Laapataa Ladies received positive reviews on its release last month.
