Kiran Rao On Her Equation With Aamir Khan's First Wife Reena Dutta: "We Are A Family. I Hang Out With Her"

Aamir and Kiran announced divorce in 2021

Kiran Rao, who participated in Aamir Khan's daughter Ira's wedding actively, opened up about her equation with Aamir's first wife Reena Dutta and the family dynamics in an interview with The Week. Reflecting on her bond with Aamir, Reena and others, Kiran said that inclusivity comes naturally to them. Speaking to The Week, Kiran said, "It comes very naturally to us as people to be inclusive. My family was also at the wedding. It's something that we honestly didn't have to think about. We are a family. In fact, we have Monday night dinners where we all get together."

Kiran added, "We also live in the same housing society. My mother-in-law stays upstairs, Reena lives next door and Nuzhat (Aamir's cousin) also lives nearby. It's because we genuinely like each other as human beings. I hang out with Reena and Nuzhat independently of Aamir, too. My sisters-in-law live upstairs and I adore them. These are relationships you shouldn't lose if you get divorced. Aamir and I didn't have an acrimonious divorce; we may have parted as a couple, but we are very much a family."

Kiran Rao also spoke about Ira's gift during the interview. Kiran shared on her Instagram story that she received the "best gift ever" from Ira. Kiran revealed that Ira is a great painter like her mother (Reena Dutta) and eventually she will pursue painting. Kiran said Ira gifted her an oil painting of a street in her beloved city of Berlin. "It's the street where Cafe Cinema is located. I didn't expect it. It was the sweetest gift she could give. In the middle of a wedding, amidst all the planning, to think of individual gifts that would appeal to each of us... We were in tears," she recalled.
