We have seen her with Aamir Khan at several events and promotions. And her movie Dhobi Ghaat has kept Kiran Rao, Aamir’s wife in the news for some time now. At the release of the first look of the film, Kiran spoke about her husband. She said, “Aamir is a dream actor and producer to work with. We often have our fights and differences, but when it comes to work, he is the best actor and producer to work with,” she said.
Aamir plays a painter in the film and he will be sporting silver streaks in his hair for the movie. The director wife said, “The look was decided unanimously. Yes, we wanted a different look for him in the film and we tried various looks and finally chose this one.”
Kiran had also auditioned her actor husband before taking him on board. “Aamir was not meant to be in the script. I wanted to shoot the film with unknown faces and lesser known actors but we didn’t find anyone. Finally, Aamir said he was ready to work for me. We auditioned him to get a fair idea of the character,” she said.
Keeping Aamir out of the promotional campaign informed Kiran was for purely selfish reasons. “People have known me as Mrs Aamir Khan and I wanted to be known as a writer producer director, ” she smiled and added.
