Kiran Rao has said that her romance with ex-husband Aamir Khan ‘didn’t exactly start’ when they worked together in ‘Lagaan’ (2001), although it is believed that she was the reason for his divorce from Reena Dutta. In an interview with Zoom, Kiran clarified that she started dating Aamir while assisting Ashutosh Gowariker during the making of Swades (2004), when Aamir was working on Mangal Pandey.

Kiran clarified that she was not dating Aamir during Lagaan.
Kiran Rao said, “Many people think that Aamir and I were connected on Lagaan, but that was not the case at all. Aamir and I got together during Swades, he was going to shoot Mangal Pandey at that time. We had shot some commercials for Coke with Ashutosh Gowarikar and that’s where Aamir and I reconnected. After 3-4 years of tax. I was not in touch with him. In fact, I hardly spoke to him on Lagaan. I was actually seeing someone else during Lagaan. When Aamir and I started going out in 2004, everyone thought it started when we were shooting for Lagaan and that led to the divorce, which was not true.
Revealed that she and Aamir started dating after divorce
Aamir and Reena Dutta ended their marriage in 2002, a year after the release of Lagaan. Talking about how she and Aamir went for couples counseling after marriage, Kiran said, “When you marry someone who is in another relationship, you come with some baggage that will affect your relationship. I strongly recommend couples counseling. Aamir and I did couple’s counseling. It becomes a neutral ground where you talk about your needs, how you see the other person and It was very beneficial for me. It helped that Aamir and I agreed that we both had to be honest with each other, no matter what the situation was.”
Kiran and Aamir married in 2005 and announced their separation in 2021. Kiran’s other recently released film, Lapata Ladies, was co-produced by Aamir. They continue to co-parent their son, Azad, born in December 2011. Ira Khan and Junaid Khan are Aamir’s children from his first marriage with Reena.
