Speaking about Aamir's second wife, Kiran Rao, Faissal admitted they had little to no interaction.
'Kiran and I... we had never spoken. I don't know her that well. I never spent time and interacted with her, so I can't comment,' he said.

Faissal also mentioned Aamir's current reported partner, Gauri Spratt.
'I've met Gauri, but only like 2–3 times. Not much. I met her first on my last birthday, not this year's. Aamir had known her for years before that, but that was the first time I met her,' he said, adding that he doesn't know much about her either.
