New Delhi: Bollywood
couple Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao have named their newborn son Azad
Rao Khan after scholar and freedom fighter Maulana Abul Kalam Azad,
Aamir's "great grand uncle".
"Hey guys, most excited to share with y'all that we have finally
chosen a name for our baby boy...Azad. Azad Rao Khan. I left the
final choice to Kiran, and she has named him after my great grand
uncle Maulana Azad, the great freedom fighter, whom the family is
most proud of," Aamir revealed on social networking site Facebook.
"Azad means free or liberated. We want to thank everyone for their
warm wishes and blessings, and needless to say we are absolutely
overjoyed and feel most blessed. Much love," added the
actor-producer.
Aamir-Kiran's son was born Dec 1 through IVF to a surrogate mother
at a private clinic in Mumbai. The couple resorted to IVF due to
medical complications.
This is Kiran's first baby, but Aamir has a son, Junaid, and a
daughter, Ira, from his first wife Reena.
Aamir ended his 15-year-old marriage with Reena in 2002, and
during the shooting of Ashutosh Gowariker's "Lagaan", he and the
film's assistant director Kiran ended up together.
They tied the knot in 2005.
In 2009, Kiran got pregnant, but she had a miscarriage. However,
the duo now feel "blessed" with the newborn.
