The couple shared a beautiful marriage and even welcomed their son, Azad, in 2011. However, after nearly 15 years together, Aamir and Kiran parted ways in 2021. But what’s beautiful about their equation is that the couple remain good friends and often collaborate on projects, including their nonprofit, Paani Foundation, which they co-founded in 2016. Aamir even produced Kiran’s critically acclaimed 2024 film Laapata Ladies, and the duo continues to explore further projects to collaborate on.

The marriage lasted for 13 years till Saif and Amrita decided to part ways in 2004. While the couple isn’t friends per say, they continue to hold deep regard and respect for one another, as reiterated by Saif multiple times on Karan Johar’s hit talk-show series Koffee With Karan. The duo has two children—Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Khan—both of them currently active in Bollywood.
