Actor Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, who have been together for 15 years, decided to part ways. The couple, in a joint statement, announced that they have decided to "begin a new chapter in our lives - no longer as husband and wife, but as co-parents and family for each other."
The actor married Kiran Rao in 2005 and they welcomed their son Azad through surrogacy in 2011. Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao met on the sets of 'Lagaan' (2001) where Rao was an Assistant Director and tied the knot in 2008.
In a long statement, they revealed that they were planning their separation for some time. The couple also said that they will continue to be ‘devoted parents’ to their son, Azad and they will raise him together. "We will also continue to work as collaborators on films, Paani Foundation, and other projects that we feel passionate about,” the statement read.
