Kiran Rao or Mrs. Aamir Khan spoke to TOI recently and gave sound bytes about hubby Aamir and her directorial venture. Some excerpts:

On Aamir:
My working with Aamir was pretty accidental. I am not from a filmi family. A friend of mine who was working with Lagaan asked me if I would like to work as part of the team, and I agreed. Prior to that, I must have watched, like, ten Hindi movies in my life. I didn’t know much about Hindi films at all” – “and one of the films she did know about was Rangeela ,” Aamir gleefully interrupts here. Rangeela?

I had to write a paper on Rangeela when I was in MCRC in Jamia,” Kiran explains. And then tells us about another Aamir connection. “Oddly enough, for no particular reason, QSQT was the first complete Hindi film I ever watched, as a young adult. I must have been about 14 then. I’ll never forget that because, it was the first movie I watched on our new VCR.”
