Kiran Rao Reveals Aamir Khan's Reaction To Laal Singh Chaddha's Failure: "He Was Very Affected"

Laal Singh Chaddha was released in August 2022

Filmmaker Kiran Rao is currently busy promoting her directorial project Laapataa Ladies. In addition to speaking about the exciting project in a recent interview with Zoom, Kiran also shared insights into her ex-husband Aamir Khan's reaction to the failure of his last film, Laal Singh Chaddha. She revealed, “He (Aamir Khan) was very affected. But someone like Aamir is such a creative animal. At heart, he's a very creative person and exceedingly good at what he does. Because from a very young age, he has heard stories to the point that I feel it's in his DNA. If you actually did a DNA test you would find a gene for storytelling that's in Aamir. So, you couldn't take that away from him. And honestly, I suppose he needed after having a big box office disaster to take that time off to recalibrate and see where he'd gone.”

Continuing her thoughts, Kiran Rao shared, “And he's (Aamir Khan) one of those few people also I know that won't go out being bitter but also like, ‘Ok. I'll step away first and reassess, what I'm doing wrong, or what I really want to be doing next.' And this renewed Aamir is now producing six films after saying he is not doing anything. So clearly, the time off was useful and kind of productive.”

FYI, Laal Singh Chaddha hit the big screens in August 2022. The film featured Kareena Kapoor as the female lead. Kiran Rao was one of the producers of the Advait Chandan directorial.
