It so happened that during the shoot of Rakesh Omprakash Mehra's 'Dilli 6' starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, the director was left in a fix when his Assisant Director had to fly back to his home in the US.
Mehra shared this with his friend Aamir Khan who at once volunteered to help.
But though Aamir was eager to fly down to Jaipur to support Mehra, he couldn't take any time out as he himself was too busy with the shooting of his next film Ghajini.
But this wouldn't stop Aamir from lending a helping hand to Mehra. Aamir suggested that his wife Kiran Rao (who has previously assisted Ashutoh Gowariker) would go to Jaipur.
It was a sweet sign from Aamir bearing in mind his relations with the Bachchan's. When asked about Kiran as the AD to Mr. Rakesh Mehra he answered 'She is a thorough professional and very sincere at work.'
So do we see Kiran Rao following the footsteps of her husband as a director? After all we know that with Aamir around making a film would be much simpler.
