Kiran Rao: Aamir is a bindaas father

We've known Aamir Khan as the perfectionist actor.

He seems to be quite a great dad as well.

In a candid chat with Sonil Dedhia, Aamir's wife Kiran Rao talked about her son Azad, and the kind of father Aamir is:

Aamir is an easygoing and bindaas father. He is very loving, caring and playful and spends a lot of time with Azad.

Aamir allows him to play in the water, and jump on the sofa with dirty shoes on. At the same time, Aamir is paranoid about safety.

As a mother, I am a little restrictive with Azad. It's really quite fascinating to be a mother.

'Aamir and I bond over Azad'

Azad has brought Aamir and me closer in some ways. He has brought so much laughter and fun in our lives that I cannot imagine a time before him.

I always thought I was very happy but after Azad came into our lives, I could see so much positive change in our lives. I'm sure Aamir feels the same.

He has two kids already (Junaid and Ira, from his first wife Reena Dutta) so it wasn't a surprise for him. But it was a big surprise for me!

Azad completes us.

Apart from films and work, we bond over him as well.
