Hindi film buffs
across the world were shocked when Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and filmmaker Kiran Rao announced their divorce on Saturday. In their 15 years together,
the celebrity couple has collaborated on numerous projects on film sets and
beyond.

Here’s a throwback
to the times when this creative couple collaborated to light up our screens and
our lives:

Lagaan (2001)

It was on the sets
of this Ashutosh Gowariker film, the maiden project of Aamir Khan productions,
that Amir met Kiran for the first time. Kiran was working as an assistant director
for the film. The film went on to get nominated in the 74th Academy Awards in
the foreign language film category.
