Leaving the entire film fraternity and their fans in shock, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan and his producer-director wife Kiran Rao on Saturday announced the news of their divorce after 15 years of marriage. The two released a joint statement wherein they stated that they would now embark on a new chapter of their lives as co-parents and family for each other.
Soon after the news surfaced, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao started trending big time on social media and many took to social media to share their reaction on Bollywood’s power couple’s separation. On Monday, actress Kangana Ranaut too shared her thoughts on Aamir & Kiran’s separation. Kangana took to her Instagram story and spoke about inter-fate marriages and the bringing up of children.
She wrote: "At one point In Punjab most families raised one son as a Hindu and another one as a Sikh, this trend has never been seen among Hindus and Muslims or Sikhs or Muslims, or anyone else with Muslims for that matter, with Aamir Khan sir's second divorce I wonder in an interfaith marriage why children come out only Muslims why woman cannot continue to be Hindu, with changing times we must change this, this practice is archaic and regressive... if in one family if Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, RadhaSwami and atheists can live together then why not Muslims? Why must one change one's religion to marry a Muslim?" questioned Kangana.
Meanwhile, a day after announcing their divorce, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao on Sunday shared a video message for fans that said the two are now in a happy space and still consider each other a part of the same family. The 'Ghajini' star also opened up on the status of Paani Foundation.
