Aamir Khan's wife’s dream actor is Deepak Dobriyal: Here is a surprise, hubby Aamir Khan is not Kiran Rao’s dream actor. That accolade belongs to none other than the talented Deepak Dobriyal.
As reported by a leading daily, when Kiran was asked who her dream actor was, the response was not hubby Aamir, or Salman or Shahrukh Khan, but Deepak Dobriyal. "I'd love to work with Salman and SRK too but my dream actor happens to be Deepak Dobriyal," said Kiran.
Deepak Dobriyal is popular with renowned filmmakers Vishal Bharadwaj and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and has stood out in films like Maqbool, Omkara, Shaurya, Gulaal, Kaminey and more recently Daayen Ya Baayen. He will soon be seen in Tanu Weds Manu and in Teen Thay Bhai this summer. Even though Dhobi Ghat has not been successful at the box office, the move has received critical acclaim and maverick director Kiran Rao who has received heaps of praise for her story telling skills and vision.
Deepak Dobriyal surely does have quite a following.
Verve Magazine: Aamir Khan to kiss her wife Kiran Rao on the cover: They don’t have to walk hand-in-hand at every filmy do or party to show their affection. Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao are truly, madly, and deeply in love with each other. Verve is celebrating the season of love February by bringing these two strong minded individuals together for the first time for a (very) cute cover.
The couple who is married for six years shares many things in common, but they have their share of differences too. Yet they have no time for ego clashes; if Kiran believes Aamir understands her in and out, Aamir loves her for what she is. Not to forget, Kiran has introduced him to a wider range of cinema. Yes, this Bollywood couple is driven by the passion for cinema. What makes the Verve cover look so lovely? Aamir’s playfulness, his innocence, and Kiran’s poise and simplicity.
Aamir Khan feel so proud on her wife Kiran Rao: Tonight, Aamir Khan returned to Toronto where he sat down with CBC’s George Stroumboulopoulos for a one‐on‐one interview. The two discussed everything from Aamir’s latest film Dhobi Ghat to the changing face of Hindi films. “I fell in love with the script...and I fell in love with her once again.” Aamir said lovingly of his wife Kiran Rao and director of Dhobi Ghat. He went on to talk about the film explaining that he was sucked in from the very first scene. “I feel so proud of Kiran,” he blushingly revealed. If anything is understood about this man, it’s that the mention of his wife brings a smile to his face.
Aamir was very honest on the show, explaining that he not only thinks in English, but he has never read a book in Hindi. He also said that he has a lot of influences in him that are not purely Indian, which happens when growing up in a big city. Much of the interview brought out a very candid Aamir, which we are rarely privileged to see.
When asked about the changing face of Indian cinema, Aamir made it clear that Hindi films are just one facet of Indian cinema, among films made in 22 languages across the country. He also tried to define today’s mainstream cinema. “What is mainstream cinema? No one can define it.” Adding to this, he explained that the young filmmakers of India are making films that are breaking molds. We completely agree. Go see Dhobi Ghat. You’ll agree too.
Kiran Rao interview: Aamir do not take bath regularly: Now that's a disadvantage of having a celebrity wife. Dhobi Ghat director Kiran Rao leaked Aamir Khan's best kept secret in one of the interviews.
In an interview to Live India, Kiran Rao said, “The one thing that I don’t like about him is the fact that he doesn’t take a bath. And trust me when I say this that his bathing habits are not very regular.” To this the actor jumped in to his rescue and said, “I do take bath when I go out for work. And considering most of the time I step out for work, I take bath most of the time. It is only when I am not stepping out or when I am on a holiday when I don’t take a bath.”
But Kiran is relieved with the fact that she has someone in the house that she can count on to understand her in and out. “We are really happy together. We are both strong minded people but till now we haven’t faced any problem and it has been six years so far. We are more of friends, so we collaborate our ideas. There are no ego clashes; in fact it is purely enriching to be with each other.”
Kiran Rao admits that she puts across certain points firmly when she's directing a movie, and Aamir is acting. “I do tell him that I am doing a certain thing because I am the director of the movie.” To this Aamir added smiling, “And I give her a suggesting and say that I am the actor of the movie.”
When quizzed about the recent patch-up wave in the industry (SRK and Farah patching up), this is what the couple had to say. “See I don’t have any grudges against anyone in the industry. So I really don’t want to comment,” says Aamir. Adding final twist to the tale was Kiran’s answer to the same question, “I am so new to the industry that I am really no one to comment on this. But I must confess that sometimes what SRK says makes no sense to me.”
Kiran Rao to direct Aamir Khan to do a lovemaking scene: Was it difficult for the first-time director Kiran Rao to film her husband Aamir Khan doing lovemaking scenes in Dhobi Ghat?
The movie is releasing on January 21, and recently some new trailers of the movie were launched where Aamir is seen in an intimate sequence with a female co-star. As the movie is about four people and their intertwined relationships, Kiran chose to show intimacy more through the emotional connection between the characters.
While talking to a daily, Kiran confesses that she chose to keep the scenes tame, “I kept those scenes tame! They all had their clothes on. Besides, intimacy is not shown through sex but by a connection that you see between the characters in the film. There is no sex in Dhobi Ghat.” How did Aamir manage to do the steamy scenes? Kiran says he rather wanted to make them more exciting. Not to forget, he is a perfectionist.
