Bollywood actor Aamir Khan was papped with his ex-wife Kiran Rao and son Azad Rao on Saturday as the trio was seen coming out of a pet clinic.
A video of the family leaving the clinic shows Aamir holding the pet carrier while Azad appeared to be crying. It was later reported that their pet cat had passed away and Azad, who was deeply attached to the pet, could not bear the loss and was seen crying inconsolably.
The clips that have gone viral show the paparazzi zooming in and taking videos and photos of Aamir and his family. Many called out the paps for their insensitive behaviour, while some said that the family needed privacy and that the media should not invade their personal space.
However, so far, neither Aamir nor his ex-wife Kiran has given any official reason behind the visit to the pet clinic or shared any update about their pet.
Netizens took to the comments section and expressed concern over the pet and the family. One user wrote, "His pet dog or cat is not well, I guess."
Another wrote, "Might be some pet lost its life. Sad." A third user speculated that the family may have lost a pet, suggesting that this could be why Azad appeared upset.
Azad is Aamir Khan's son from his second marriage to Kiran Rao. The actor was earlier married to Reena Dutta, with whom he shares two children, Junaid Khan and Ira Khan.
Aamir and Reena parted ways on amicable terms. He later married Kiran Rao, and the two announced their split after 16 years of marriage. They continue to co-parent their son, Azad.
Aamir Khan is married to Gauri Spratt. The couple had an intimate ceremony in July this year. Gauri has worked in the fashion and beauty industry, including with a Bengaluru-based salon business, and later became associated with Aamir Khan Productions.
She and Aamir Khan have reportedly known each other for over 25 years, though they began a romantic relationship only in recent years. She was previously married and has a son from that marriage. Last year, on his 60th birthday in March, the actor shed light on his relationship with Gauri.
