Mumbai, Jul 4 (PTI) A day after superstar Aamir Khan and producer-director Kiran Rao announced their divorce, the actor said their relationship might have changed, but they still remain a family. During a virtual event of their NGO Paani Foundation, the duo on Sunday said their decision would have come as a "shock" to some but assured that they are still "together". Aamir Khan And Kiran Rao Divorce Leaves Hina Khan Heartbroken; Says ‘To Be best, Must Learn How To Handle Worst’

"You must have heard about us. You would've felt sad, must've been shocked. But we want to tell you all that we both are happy and still one family. There has been a change in our relationship but we are still together," Khan said in a video call over Zoom while holding Rao's hand.

Khan, 56, and Rao, 47, first met on the sets of the actor's 2001 blockbuster movie Lagaan and tied the knot in December 2005. They welcomed their son Azad Rao Khan in December 2011. In a joint statement issued on Saturday, the former couple said they have decided to part ways after 15 years of marriage and are ready to start a new chapter as "co-parents and family for each other". Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao Announce Divorce, Will Co-Parent Son Azad
