Aamir Khan separated from his second wife, Kiran Rao, in 2021. Ever since then, they have been co-parenting their child, Azad. The actor has a busy schedule, and because of this, he cannot spend much time with his kids. However, Kiran has had her own set of challenges, managing her son. Kiran had revealed that Aamir had no idea about Azad's school.
Earlier, during an interview with Kareena Kapoor Khan on the chat show titled, What Women Want, Kiran revealed that Aamir was clueless about Azad's school. She admitted that he was a busy father, and even when they were married, she had to do most of the primary parenting. Kiran complained:

"Only Aamir knows nothing about school. I think it’s majority of the dads’ problem. They are always like, ‘Don’t get us involved in school-related activities, we will take up other things.' Once we got separated and then divorced, I think Aamir also sort of realised how much of that he will have to factor into his life because when you are living together in the same house, it somehow gets managed. But, in order to make time for Azad, it became much more of a conscious decision recently.”
Shedding light on the challenges of being a single parent, Kiran said Azad has been a good boy. This was because, as she was a single mother, she and her son had an understanding bond. Kiran revealed that the great thing about being a single mum was building great connections with your kid. They are each other's support system; she wants nothing more than to hang out with her son whenever she is low. Kiran added:
"I can tell him listen, I am really feeling down. He is very empathetic and good kid. He has good sense of humour. He makes me laugh like crazy.”
The Laapataa Ladies director also agreed that as a mother, she has bad days and feels like breaking herself. She also said that Aamir could only sometimes co-parent with Azad because he had his own schedule. However, she feels blessed because her parents have been her biggest support. They do help her, but she has her days when she switches off completely. In Kiran's words:
"We also have kids who begin to adapt to our lifestyle and support us. And it is great for them to have mums who demand times for themselves where they can know that it’s okay for them to have their own time as they are not just here to look after me.'”

Aamir married Kiran in 2005. He was previously married to Reena Dutt. Aamir has a son named Junaid and a daughter named Ira from his previous marriage. In a podcast, he expressed to Rhea Chakraborty that his child Ira suffered from depression. He needed her, while Junaid lived a life without him. Talking about Azad, he said that his childhood won't come back.
Do you think that Aamir Khan should give more time to Azad as a co-parent?
