At the recently concluded Confederation of Indian Industry event, filmmaker and new mum Kiran Rao shared her early experiences as one of the few women assistant directors in Bollywood. She also spoke to Nithya Ramani about hubby Aamir Khan's television debut and her future plans.

How did you like Aamir Khan's new show, Satyameva Jayate? If you are talking about the song, I absolutely loved it. They travelled around the country to shoot this and I was very sad that I couldn't be a part of it. Aamir has worked really hard for it. I think the promos too have reached out to the people.

This show had made my jeena haram in many levels because Aamir has worked on this show night and day and in my house. My house was filled with people for days and nights together. I was waiting for the show to go on air so that my life will go back to normal.
