We all know Kiran was Aamir's second wife; he was first married to Reena Dutta even before he had made it big in Bollywood. Aamir and Reena were married for over 16 years after the couple had mutually parted ways in 2002.

Kiran Rao had come into Aamir Khan's life during the same time in 2002 during the shooting for his super hit film Lagaan. Kiran had assisted Aamir as an assistant director on Lagaan. Aamir had once told how Kiran and his love story started. He said one phone call changed everything between him and Kiran.

Post Aamir's divorce from Reena, Aamir was emotionally coping and one night Kiran called him to check on him. The call continued for over half an hour, making Aamir happy and relieved. And the rest is history.
