Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao got married on December 28, 2005, and parted ways after being together for 15 years in 2021. The couple met on the sets of Ashutosh Gowariker's iconic film, Lagaan. In 2011, Aamir and Kiran embraced parenthood when the couple welcomed a baby boy, Azad, through IVF. When asked about the reason behind their decision to opt for IVF, Aamir and Kiran shared that they had tried conceiving a baby naturally but couldn't due to a series of health issues.
Even after parting ways with each other, Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan are still co-parenting their son, Azad Khan. However, it is true that due to his extremely busy schedule, Aamir couldn't spend valuable time with Azad. Well, it happened not just with Azad; even Aamir's children, Junaid Khan and Ira Khan from his first wife, Reena Dutta, never got the time to spend with their daddy. However, now that Aamir is approaching his 60s, he has started prioritising his family and children.

Moving a bit back in time, famous author, Pradeep Chandra has penned a book on Aamir Khan's life titled, Aamir Khan: Actor Activist Achiever, in which he has shared some rare anecdotes about the star's personal life. In the book, Pradeep mentioned that Aamir's first general impression of Kiran when he interacted with her on the sets of Lagaan was that she was a bright, funny, and lively girl. During the film's shooting of Lagaan, Aamir even borrows a pair of earrings from Kiran for his character, 'Bhuvan'.
Once the shooting was done and dusted, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao moved in different directions. However, they met again on the sets of Dil Chahta Hai, and it was when Kiran reminded Aamir that he owed her a pair of earrings. The actor promised her that he would purchase a fresh piece for her. At that time, Aamir was married to his first wife, Reena Dutta, and the couple went out to buy a pair of earrings for Kiran. Yes! You read it right. Reena was shopping earrings for Kiran, unaware of the fact that the latter was destined to become her husband's second wife.
According to Pradeep Chandra's book, Aamir Khan: Actor Activist Achiever, Aamir and his first wife, Reena Dutta purchased the earrings for Kiran Rao from a shop at Mumbai's Taj Hotel. For the uninitiated, in the following years, Aamir and Kiran met again during the shooting of a beverage product, and it was when they formed a bond and started spending more time together. Although, at the beginning, they were taking it slow and weren't too serious about it, Kiran fell madly in love with Aamir as time passed.
After his divorce from Reena Dutta, Aamir Khan wasn't ready to start a serious relationship with Kiran Rao due to a series of fears. But he was also not in favour of leading a casual relationship with Kiran, who was in love with him. However, as time passed, Aamir realised that Kiran was his home, as he always felt happy and content whenever he was in her company. Kiran and Aamir moved together after the latter took his children, Junaid and Ira's permission, which speaks volumes of their bond.
Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao moved together, and she formed a beautiful bond with Junaid and Ira. As time passed, Aamir became convinced that she would love to spend the rest of his life with Kiran and the duo got married in 2005.
