Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao have maintained a cordial relationship and have often said that their friendship will remain intact, despite their divorce. Toward the end of last year, when Kiran was hospitalised after falling ill, she reportedly used Aamir’s name and surname on the hospital form, which drew public attention at the time.

Resting at home with books and her pet cat

In the recent picture shared online, Kiran is seen lying in bed with her pet cat beside her. Several books are placed near her feet. She has said that she currently does not have the strength to stand and remains confined to bed due to weakness caused by chikungunya.
