The duo announced that they are getting divorced and issued a joint statement regarding the matter.
The announcement came months after the couple celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary in December.
“In these 15 beautiful years together we have shared a lifetime of experiences, joy, and laughter, and our relationship has only grown in trust, respect, and love. Now we would like to begin a new chapter in our lives – no longer as husband and wife, but as co-parents and family for each other,” a statement issued by the former couple said.
As per the details of the statement, Aamir and Kiran separated ‘some time ago’ and despite living apart, the couple will ‘nurture and raise’ their son Azad Rao Khan together.
“We began a planned separation some time ago, and now feel comfortable to formalize this arrangement, of living separately yet sharing our lives the way an extended family does. We remain devoted parents to our son Azad, who we will nurture and raise together,” the statement said.
“We will also continue to work as collaborators on films, Paani Foundation, and other projects that we feel passionate about. A big thank you to our families and friends for their constant support and understanding about this evolution in our relationship, and without whom we would not have been so secure in taking this leap. We request our well-wishers for good wishes and blessings and hope that – like us – you will see this divorce not as an end, but as the start of a new journey,” it added.
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and his former wife Kiran Rao appeared together in a video and talked about their separation for the first time after they announced their divorce.
In a video, Aamir Khan and Kiran spoke to their fans and said, “Our relationship might have changed but we are still together. You must be sad, but we just want to say that we are happy and still together as one family.”
The Dangal actor and Kiran can be seen holding hands as they appear together after their divorce announcement.
About their Paani Foundation, Aamir Khan said, “Paani Foundation is like Azad, our kid. So we will always stay together as a family. Pray for our happiness. That’s all we wanted to say.”
Khan and Kiran shocked fans as the couple announced they are partying ways 15 years after their marriage on Saturday.
Aamir and Kiran first met during the shoot of Lagaan, in which he played the lead role, and she was an assistant director. Back on December 28, 2005, the couple tied the knot.
