Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao – who got divorced after 15 years of marriage, co-parent son Azad Khan. But how much of a hands-on father is Aamir to his third child?

Kiran Rao on Aamir Khan as a father
During her recent appearance on Kareena Kapoor’s show, Kiran Rao opened up about co-parenting son Azad with ex-husband Aamir Khan. The ‘Laapataa Ladies’ director said, “It’s tricky. He is a very busy father.” Rao continued, “Honestly, even when we were married, I was doing a lot of the actual primary parenting. Once we got separated and then divorced, I think Aamir also sort of realised how much of that he will have to factor into his life because when you are living together in the same house, it somehow gets managed. But, in order to make time for Azad, it became much more of a conscious decision more recently.”
Kiran Rao further added, “Now, it’s much smoother, and Aamir is more involved in it. Luckily, right now, we are upstairs and downstairs, but whenever we will leave, we won’t be far away. Azad is enjoying his time with his dad a lot more as he is now older. It has reached a place where it is really nice. I feel like I can relax and leave Azad with Aamir.”
However, she went on to add, “Aamir knows nothing about school. I think it’s the majority of the dads’ problem. They are always like, ‘Don’t get us involved in school-related activities, we will take up other things.'”
Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao – who first met during the shoot of Lagaan, tied the knot on December 28, 2005. The couple welcomed their son in 2011 via a surrogate.
