Kiran Rao Admits To Using Aamir Khan's Star Power 'Shamelessly' To Promote 'Laapataa Ladies': I Really Need To

During a candid conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Kiran Rao confessed that she “shamelessly” uses the actor’s star power to promote her upcoming directorial. She stated that the actor has served as a major pillar of strength for her. Discussing how his fame and popularity has been like a bonus to the entire process, she said, “I fully use his star power wherever I can. I am like ‘You’re here, please stand and give us three pictures.’ Because we have a small film and I really need to do everything I can to tell people, ‘Watch this film coming on March 1; it has been made by Aamir Khan.’ I use him shamelessly.”

Rao recently also attended Aamir and his first wife Reena Dutta’s daughter, Ira Khan’s wedding and gracefully posed with the entire family. Talking about how they effortlessly redefine modern family dynamics, Kiran shared, “I guess we didn’t try very hard for it. It’s very natural ‘We are family’ kind of thing. We just don’t think about it so much. It is what it is. This is us. So people, I think find it unusual but we have always all been close and we continue to be. We don’t think that some sort of a social tag defines our real relationships.”

In a previous interview with DNA, Rao had mentioned that she and the ‘Dangal’ actor have been navigating their divorce proceedings with minimal impact of it on their son Azad Rao.

As for ‘Laapataa Ladies,’ you can go watch the film in theatres near you on March 1.
