Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, who recently made headlines due to their separation after 15 years together, got married on December 28, 2005, in Panchgani. Although their wedding was a simple and private event, filmmaker Kunal Kohli described it as truly unforgettable.Kunal Kohli’s Account of the Secret WeddingDuring an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kunal Kohli recounted a humorous story about Khan’s wedding plans.He explained that while scheduling the shoot for 'Fanaa' between October 2005 and March 2006, Aamir asked for ten days off from December 23, 2005, to January 3, 2006. When Kunal inquired about the reason, Aamir revealed he was marrying Kiran Rao but insisted, “Lekin yeh baat tu kisi ko bata nahi sakta.” Despite Kunal’s insistence on informing their producer Aditya Chopra, Aamir stopped him, saying, “baat aise hi fail jaati hai.” He assured Kunal that apart from those ten days, he was available to shoot anytime and anywhere.Producer’s Concerns Over the Ten-Day Break
Kohli explained that when Aditya Chopra saw the shooting schedule, he immediately questioned the reason for the ten-day break. He wondered if the time off was for Christmas or New Year’s celebrations. Kohli clarified that it wasn’t the case and that neither Kajol nor Aamir planned a holiday during that period. Despite this, Chopra was skeptical and insisted that shooting should continue during those ten days, making it challenging for Kohli to convince him otherwise.The Secret Revealed and Producer’s ReactionIn 2005, when Aamir made his wedding to Kiran Rao public, it didn’t sit well with Aditya. He confronted Kunal Kohli, asking, “Tune mujhe bola kyun nahi?” To which Kunal explained that Aamir had requested him to keep the news confidential until the right time.Life After Marriage and SeparationThe couple welcomed their son Azad via surrogacy in 2011.
