Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao parted ways in 2021 but have continued to maintain a friendly relationship. Khan is also one of the producers of Rao's upcoming film Laapataa Ladies. In a recent interview, Rao revealed that she never had a 'big fight' with her ex-husband but agreed that marriage has its own set of challenges.

Kiran Rao on Aamir Khan 

In an interview with Puja Talwar, Kiran Rao spoke about her ex-husband Aamir Khan and life post-divorce. She said, "Anyone who is married will tell you marriage has its challenges. And certainly I have had my share of fights and we have dealt with things. But actually, Aamir and I have never really fought, it is very strange. We have our disagreements, but we never have big fights."

Explaining the reason, the director stated that it is because they respect each other a lot. Rao further stated the advantage of her marriage and said, "We understand each other quite well, it is just a case of finding the right argument to convince the other person or to be convinced. Our relationship is like that; and we are both not like too proud to agree (with each other). And that is one of the advantages of having been in this marriage. We never saw any turbulence of the kind that a lot of people go through. We have had our share of ups and downs, but never anything that I could term even vaguely antagonistic."
