She has a Tamilian mother and an Irish father; notably, her grandfather was a freedom fighter.
Aamir Khan, who has been an avid smoker, has quit this bad habit as he shared this news at the trailer launch of his son Junaid Khan’s film Loveyapa.
“I have given up smoking, smoking is something I love very much and it’s something I enjoy. Kya bolun, sach baat hai yeh, jhooth toh bol nahi sakta. Itne saalo se main cigarette pee rha that, ab pipe peeta hu (what can I say, it’s the truth, I can’t lie. I’ve been smoking cigarettes for years, now I smoke a pipe). Tobacco is something I enjoy. It’s not good for health. Kisi ko nahi karna chahiye (No one should do it),” the megastar shared.
Now Kiran Rao, his ex-wife, told Filmfare, “I tortured him (Aamir) a little bit. He would give me some suggestions, and I’d be like, ‘No, do it like this.’ Since it was my first film and we had a very tiny budget—a micro-budget—there was this constant panic that I wouldn’t get to do what I wanted.”
She added, “I was patient with everybody else because, obviously, I couldn’t shout at everyone—I had to show that I knew what I was doing. But with Aamir, I could snap because he’s my husband.”
“I’m very happy to say that I’ve quit this bad habit. And whoever is watching or listening, I want to tell them too to please quit it. It’s not a good habit. I felt I wanted to quit, my son’s career is starting too. I made a resolve in my heart. I’m quitting, whether it (Junaid’s next film) works or not, I’m doing this independent of that). As a father, I wanted to sacrifice. Aur kahin universe mein ja ke uska kuchh ho. Aap log prarthana kariye, dua kariye. (Hope it does something somewhere in the universe. You guys pray and wish for that, too),” Aamir said.
