Kiran Rao reveals she had multiple miscarriages before son Azad's birth: 'I was finding it very hard'

Kiran Rao is currently riding high on the success of her second directorial, 'Laapataa Ladies'. Despite the film's lukewarm response at the box office, the social satire managed to win everyone's hearts with its refreshing storytelling. In a new interview, Kiran was asked if she has ever regretted pausing her career to raise her son Azad over the last 10 years. Responding to it, Rao revealed that she suffered many miscarriages before opting for surrogacy to have a child.

In her conversation with Zoom, Kiran revealed her struggles with fertility, highlighting her strong desire to have a child. Recalling the difficulties that she faced, including years of miscarriages and personal health issues, she mentioned that she had to opt for surrogacy. Despite the setbacks, Kiran was overjoyed to welcome her son, Azad. She called it one of the best experiences of her life and emphasised that she has no regrets about dedicating the past years to motherhood over filmmaking.


“The year that Dhobi Ghat was made was the year that Azad was born. And I had tried very hard to have a child. For five years, I had had a lot of miscarriages and a lot of personal and physical health issues. I was just finding it very hard to have a child. I was really keen to have a child, so when Azad was born, it was... I didn’t have to make a decision. Obviously, all I wanted to do was raise my baby,” she said.

“I enjoyed having Azad so much. Those were some of the best years of my life. I’ll never regret not having made a film in 10 years. I have no regrets because I enjoyed it thoroughly,” she said in the interview.

Aamir Khan and Kiran welcomed Azad in 2011 via a surrogate. They are divorced now, and they co-parent Azad.
