She wanted to give all her time to her child, he never opposed it; he was very busy with his hectic work schedules, she never cribbed; and despite their hectic schedules in their respective spheres, they made time for each other, and always encouraged the other to live their dream.
Kiran had a few miscarriages, and so was weak to give conceiving another shot, as Aamir once said in an interview. For him, his wife’s health came first and so, without thinking of what anyone else thinks, he and his wife resorted to surrogacy, and are now proud parents to son, Azad (4 years).
Aamir quoted:
“We are very proud of the whole thing. She had a number of miscarriages. We realised that her uterus lining is very thin for her to carry the baby for nine months. This is why we opted for this method.”

Aamir has two children from his first marriage, and Kiran finds them really well-mannered and grounded. She also happens to share a fantastic equation with both of them. She quotes:
“I love them and they are just lovely kids and I think Reena has done a spectacular job of bringing them up the way she has. They are warm, affectionate, intelligent and grounded kids.”
When celebrities this popular take up and resort to options such as surrogacy, it gives thousands of others the confidence, courage and will to do the same without thinking and listening to the invalid and ridiculous claims that people of the society who oppose such wonderful things give. Dr. Indira Hinduja, who was responsible for delivering the first test tube baby in India, had said:
“It is nice of Aamir Khan to talk about it. He is a top star and people may now no longer mind undergoing a surrogacy treatment and talking about it.”

As Aamir quotes:
“I really value the 16 years Reena and I spent together. I have the highest respect and love for her. I will always have that. She has immense strength of character and patience. She is a valuable part of my life. Our relationship may have altered, but nothing and no one can take away what we have shared.”
Kiran too, is very respectful towards Reena, and there have never been any spats or bad vibes between the two ladies.
When the recent ‘intolerance’ debate took over the nation like a storm, the two stood hand in hand and had each other’s back. They stood strong amidst all misunderstandings and allegations, and gave each other the spirit and guts to come out of the situation. Here is what Aamir had said at the controversial awards night:
“(Wife) Kiran and I have lived all our lives in India. For the first time, she said, should we move out of India? That’s a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make to me. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day. That does indicate that there is a sense of growing disquiet.’’

Aamir on Kiran:
“I love her energy; it is a very vibrant and positive energy which I find comforting and healing. She is a very happy person, her sense of aesthetics and design, and I love the fact that she is totally in love with her creative instinct. Kiran has contributed a huge deal to me- to my personality and to my very hectic fabric. I am much more relaxed ever since she has come into my life.”
Kiran on Aamir:
“A good human being and hugely talented at the same time,” is how she describes him in one sentence. She also admires his sensitivity and goes on to say, “We were quite happy being together.” And, how did she feel when she first realised she was in love with him was something like:
“Oh... this is someone I really want to spend more time with and this is someone I want to know better. But I fell in love with him quite early... a couple of months of spending time intimately with him, I was hooked. We started seeing each other in 2004. Initially, I wasn't sure that I could be friends with a superstar. But in so many ways he is such a grounded person that in four minutes of speaking to him, you forget that he is a star. We like each others company and our friendship is still the basis of our relationship. I moved in with him and neither of us was hung up on marriage. After a year of living together, we decided to get married."
