Kiran Rao is probably one of those few girls who have experienced a fairy tale love affair. Being born and brought up in a conservative Bangalore family, Kiran probably never imagined that she would one day be the 'Mrs Aamir Khan'.
However, the demure & charming Kiran has managed to have an identity of her own. Something that would not be easy when you are Aamir Khan's wife. In this heart-to-heart tete-a-tete with People magazine, Kiran talks about her adorable baby Azad, her step children, and her career plans.
On Azad Rao Khan
Talking about Azad who she had through surrogacy, Kiran Rao says that she used to wonder how she would 'forge' this relationship with the baby she did not carry for nine months. However, the birth of Azad put all her doubts to rest. She bonded and connected with the baby immediately & miraculously. She also mentions that Azad is very friendly and it is easy for anyone to connect with him.
On Aamir Khan
Talking of her love for hubby Aamir Khan, she says that it was this love that made her yearn for a child with him. She says that she is not 'maternal' in the sense that she would not rush to adopt a child if she were not married. However, after 'love' happened, as Kiran puts it, there was "a selfish needs to have a piece of each other".
On Surrogacy
Talking more about the surrogacy, Kiran says that she had not thought of it as an option until she met Dr. Firuza Parikh. She says that she and Aamir were trying to have a child for about six to seven years in the course of which she also underwent a miscarriage. It was only later that they decided to go for surrogacy. Even this though, is not a guaranteed way to have a baby, she says.
On Juanid and Ira
Talking about her step children Junaid & Ira, she says she loves them and has a friendly relationship with them. She says Ira often visits them with friends and baby Azad has taken a liking to her. Apparently, Azad says 'Ira' very cutely which never fails to amuse them.
On Aamir as a father
Talking about Aamir as a father, she says he is a very chilled out dad. After Kiran taught him how to play the piano, Aamir has taken a keen interest to it and also plays it out to Azad. How cute is that!
