He explained: "Kiran and I love each other so much. We have a lot of respect and love for one another. But people don’t get this and I accept it because we don’t see it usually. Actually, Kiran and I realised that we like each other so much and consider one another family in the truest sense. Kiran and I are actually families. But our relationship of husband and wife experienced a certain change and we wanted to respect the institution of marriage. However, we are always going to be by each other’s side. We are working together. We live close by. But we are no longer husband and wife, and that’s why we decided to call it quits." Image Credit: Insta/_kiranraokhan

Talking about what went wrong in his personal life, Khan told the regional news channel, “Somewhere I didn’t shoulder my responsibilities. I would start with my parents, my siblings, my first wife - Reena ji, Kiran ji, Reena’s parents, Kiran’s parents, my children, all these people I am talking about are my close ones. When I was 18, when I joined the film industry, I got so absorbed, I wanted to learn so much, I wanted to do so much that somewhere — today I realise — people who were close to me, I couldn’t give them time the way I wanted to."

He said, “When Reena and I got separated, there was no one in my life. A lot of people think that Kiran and I met before my divorce from Reena but it’s not true. Kiran and I had met but we didn’t really know each other and we became friends much later”. He also clarified that his relationship with Kiran didn’t end because of someone else. “There was no one back then, there is no one now," he added. Image Credit: Insta/ kiranraokhan
