In an interview with a portal, Kiran Rao said, "The year that 'Dhobi Ghat' was made was the year that Azad was born. And I had tried very hard to have a child. For five years, I had a lot of miscarriages, a lot of personal, physical health issues. I was just finding it very hard to have a child. I was really keen to have a child, so when Azad was born it was... I didn't have to make a decision. Obviously, all I wanted to do was raise my baby."

Kiran Rao took a break for 10 years before returning to direction with 'Laapataa Ladies'. She added, "I enjoyed having Azad so much. Those were some of the best years of my life. I'll never regret not having made a film in 10 years. I have no regrets because I enjoyed it thoroughly."

So, we also honestly told the media that we have had a child through IVF surrogacy and we are very happy that we did it, it has brought a lot of happiness in our lives."
