Aamir Khan and second wife Kiran Rao have announced their divorce. In a very dignified manner, the two have issued a joint statement in which they have said that they remain devoted parents to their son, Azad who they will raise together. Given below is the complete statement of the actor-producer-director and his director-wife:
“In these 15 beautiful years together, we have shared a lifetime of experiences, joy and laughter, and our relationship has only grown in trust, respect and love. Now we 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. We began a planned separation some time ago, and now feel comfortable to formalise this arrangement, of living separately yet sharing our lives the way an extended family does. We remain devoted parents to our son, Azad, who we will nurture and raise together. We will also continue to work as collaborators on films, Paani Foundation, and other projects that we feel passionate about. A big thank you to our families and friends for their constant support and understanding about this evolution in our relationship, and without whom we would not have been so secure in taking this leap. We request our well-wishers for good wishes and blessings, and hope that — like us — you will see this divorce not as an end, but as the start of a new journey.
Thanks and love,Â
Kiran and Aamir.
Kiran and Aamir had gotten married 15 years ago, after the latter divorced his first wife, Reena.
