The producers of last year's TIFF breakout discuss India's official submission for the Oscars and the crucial themes and subtle storytelling that made "Lost Ladies" a hit.

When asked how Kiran Rao reacted to his big decision, Aamir said, "She asked me to come to the balcony to talk alone. She said, 'You are leaving us'. I said, 'No, I am not leaving you, I am leaving films'. She said, 'You are a child of cinema, and if you are leaving films, you are leaving us.'"

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aamir Khan was asked about his decision to quit films. Aamir revealed that when he broke the news to his ex-wife Kiran Rao, she burst out crying and said, “you are leaving us.” But Aamir explained to her that he is actually leaving films and will spend more time with his family.

When I heard the story, it really felt very personal to me because I've seen so many women who have not had the agency, the choice that I've had in my life to do as I please," Rao said at a special screening of ‘Lost Ladies'.

When the interviewer suggested that this list might be an exercise all husbands should take on, Aamir cheekily interjected: “Why husbands? Even wives! Isne mujhe nahi pooncha (She didn’t ask me), ‘How can I be a better wife?

Aamir Khan and his ex-wife, Kiran Rao, who are currently celebrating the success of their latest release, 'Laapataa Ladies', have discussed the experience of working together post their divorce.

In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Kiran Rao opened up about wanting to branch out her production house, Kindling Pictures. She shared her desire to work with other producers and other studios as that will help them understand the capabilities of their own production house.

Aamir Khan recently attended a dinner event at Vikas Khanna's restaurant The Bungalow in New York. Kiran Rao was also there.

Oscar 2025 India’s Official entry ‘Laapataa Ladies’ renamed as Lost Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao, gains critical acclaim and begins the Academy Awards campaign.
