Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao reveal their struggles while trying for a baby, watch video

On his part, Aamir encouraged couples to try IVF and surrogacy without feeling stigmatised about their own natural shortcomings.  “My mother used to tell me when I was kid that when you will be a parent it is only then that you will realise what it is to be a parent. And I used to wonder what it is like to be a parent. But she was so right. When I had Junaid (eldest son from ex wife Reena), it just changed my life. And there are so many parents — even single parents — who are unable to have a child and the fact that Dr Firuz and Jaslok are able to give this joy to so many people out there is really wonderful. It’s really changed the lives of many people.”
