In a recent conversation with The Week, Kiran Rao talked about her close bond with Aamir Khan, Reena Dutta and others. She said that it comes very naturally to them as people to be ‘inclusive’.

She said that her family was also at Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare’s wedding, and it’s something they didn’t have to think about. “We are a family. In fact, we have Monday night dinners where we all get together,” said Kiran Rao.

She further added that they all live in the same housing society. While her mother-in-law stays upstairs, Reena Dutta lives next door, while Aamir’s cousin Nuzhat Khan also lives nearby. Her sisters-in-law also live upstairs. Kiran said that it is because they genuinely like each other as human beings.

She also mentioned that she hangs out with Reena and Nuzhat independently of Aamir too. “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,” she added.

Kiran Rao further explained that if one doesn’t have a familial bond at the end of a marriage, then it’s something they are losing out on.
