Talking to NDTV, she further added that they were worried about divorce as it is always difficult for a child. The filmmaker added that she and the PK actor were very conscious of the fact that it was public for him in school.

Kiran Rao further added, “We got lucky also as we did it during the lockdown and we were very much together when we had this conversation and so it wasn’t like oh we are rushing off to school, or we are rushing off to work and discussing at night. It gave us that time to be private about it and also gave us the time to do it together. So, we kind of held each other’s hands through this process. I’m grateful for that break which COVID gave us for this one reason.”
