Aamir and Kiran said in a joint statement: “During these 15 wonderful years, we have lived a lifetime of experience, joy and laughter, and our relationship has only grown stronger in trust, respect and love. Now we would like to start a new chapter in our life - no longer as husband and wife, but as parents of our son and family for each other.
Some time ago, we began to live separately, and now we feel comfortable enough to formally formalize an agreement to live separately, but at the same time participate in each other's life, like a large family does. We remain loyal parents of our son Azad, whom we will raise and educate together. We will also continue to cooperate in the professional field, including in the Paani Foundation *.
Many thanks to our families and friends for their continued support and understanding of this evolution of our relationship, without which we would not be so confident in this step. We ask our well-wishers for their sincere wishes and blessings and we hope that, like us, you will perceive this divorce not as an end, but as the beginning of a new path. "
