Aamir has been working on how to be a better husband
Aamir recalled, talking about Kiran, “She said you don’t allow other people to talk. I didn’t agree with her, but I wrote it down. I said, ‘Hmm’. I wrote them in my notes on my phone. I thought it will be useful. I’ve been working every day on them, every day I’m working on them.”
Aamir reveals Kiran never asked him how to be better wife
When the interviewer said that it’s an exercise all husbands should do, Aamir said, “Why husbands? Even wives. Isne mujhe nahi pooncha (She didn’t ask me), ‘How can I be a better wife?’ Aap kabhi puchon toh main batata hun (Whenever you will ask me) list.”
Kiran has a response
Kiran smiled and said, “Okay. Luckily now I’m ex-wife so don’t need to know.”
About Aamir and Kiran
Aamir and Kiran tied the knot on December 28, 2005. They first met during the shoot of Lagaan, in which he played the lead role, and she was an assistant director. They currently co-parent their son Azad Rao Khan. Aamir was earlier married to Reena Dutta from 1986–2002. They share two children–Junaid Khan and Ira Khan.
Earlier this year, Kiran told Zoom how she has to correct people when they call her ‘Aamir Khan’s wife’. She added that ‘everybody sees her as a wife or an ex-wife’. “I am routinely asked, even now at the airport… people go like, ‘You are Aamir Khan’s wife, right?’ They might not even know my name, but the association is directly with Aamir, and I have become accustomed to that. Though now I have to say, ‘Ex-wife’.”
