Filmmaker Kiran Rao's recently released film 'Laapataa Ladies' completed 50 days in the theatre. The filmmaker has now opened up about her decision to stay away from movies after the birth of her son Azad with Aamir Khan and shared that she had a 'lot of miscarriages' before the birth of her son. 

In a recent interview with Zoom Entertainment, Kiran revealed that she "tried very hard to have a child" but was facing health issues. "The year that Dhobi Ghat was made was the year that Azad was born. And I had tried very hard to have a child. For five years, I had a lot of miscarriages, a lot of personal, physical health issues. I was just finding it very hard to have a child. I was really keen to have a child, so when Azad was born it was… I didn’t have to make a decision. Obviously, all I wanted to do was raise my baby.”
