Kiran Rao, a widely recognized director, left audiences spellbound with her latest movie, Laapataa Ladies. Lately, she shared insights about working with her ex-spouse, Aamir Khan, during her directorial debut Dhobi Ghat (2010). Reminiscing on the experience, Kiran disclosed that at first, she would repeatedly reject his ideas until he asked her to handle him like any other actor.
During an open conversation with Filmfare, Kiran Rao confessed that she could be quite demanding towards Aamir during their collaborations, going so far as to say she sometimes pushed him to his limits on set. As the director, she was known for occasionally dismissing Aamir’s ideas while being more accommodating towards others’ suggestions.
She expressed, “Working on such a minuscule budget film was challenging as I feared I might not accomplish everything I envisioned. I maintained my composure with the rest of the team because I couldn’t yell at anyone else and had to appear competent. However, with Aamir, I could lose my cool. He was my husband.
Following the first day of filming, the actor from Taare Zameen Par approached her and clarified that he was neither her husband nor a producer on set. He politely asked to be treated as any other actor, and requested she explain things calmly. This helped her see her error, and she sincerely apologized for it.
Even though Aamir initially faced obstacles, Kiran commended his commitment to his part. She mentioned that some shots for Dhobi Ghat were taken on bustling Mohammad Ali Road. However, due to the challenges of Aamir moving in and out daily during filming, he resided at the shooting location while she returned home. This setup ultimately helped him immerse himself in his character’s mentality.
Kiran Rao’s initial directorial effort, Dhobi Ghat, is still one of Aamir Khan’s standout performances that leaves a lasting impression. The film showcased significant roles for Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, Kriti Malhotra, and Aamir Khan.
