The director and producer said, “I got very lucky that I literally married a family, and a family that I love, I continue to love. The family was highly protective of Reena, and when I got married, Reena was a part of the family. I absolutely love her; she’s a dear friend.”

She also talked about how the family is close with everyone although they are not together. She continued, “I am glad that people take away that it is possible to have this crazy family because this is us; this is really who we are.”

In an earlier interview, Rao opened up about how she managed her divorce with Khan. She mentioned that she did not want her son to be affected by the news. Speaking to DNA, she said, “We decided that we wanted to change the definition of our relationship and end the social contract. We worked at it in a smooth way because we were conscious that Azad should not be, in any way, traumatized by this public breakup.”
