When Aamir Khan decided to take retirement

Khan, in an interview with `Reuters`, shared, "I felt that I had not given enough time or bandwidth to my relationships. And that, you know, got me really guilty. And I kind of had a bit of a breakdown." He further shared that it was Kiran Rao who convinced him to stay and not retire from films. Crediting his ex-wife, Aamir added, "She said if you`re leaving films, you`re leaving. You`re leaving us, you`re leaving everything. I was a bit taken aback by that. But then I`m glad I changed my mind and I`m back."
