He continued, “I feel that I got lucky because Kiran came into my life. Our journey was very fulfilling and we did a lot of things together–personally and professionally. We are connected on a human and emotional level, and we will always be. We are like a family..”

Further praising Kiran, he said, “I think Kiran is a wonderful mind and she is intelligent. And she even shouts at me sometimes, I enjoy that too. We are very excited about the work we do together.” Kiran also agreed with Aamir and added, “We enjoy working with each other.” 'Sometimes, she shouts at me,' the actor joked.
