She was asked if she had ever heard rumours about Ramesh’s affairs before or during their over three-decade-long marriage. Kiran firmly said, “I haven’t heard of any affairs Mr Sippy has had.”However, the interviewer pressed on, describing Ramesh as “a colourful man” who “had at least two affairs”. At this, Kiran chose to set the record straight without letting it affect her peace. She calmly replied, “I don’t care, maybe it was there. But I know this much that after meeting me, I don’t know of any affair till today.”When the interviewer once again claimed that Ramesh “was in a relationship with two actresses”, Kiran brushed it off by saying, “Hoga (Maybe), but that is the past. I don’t want to talk about it. I wouldn’t even comment on it.”On her equation with Ramesh’s children: ‘I don’t want to be their mother’Kiran also spoke warmly about her relationship with Ramesh’s children from his previous marriage — Rohan, Sonya and Sheena. When asked about the common portrayal of stepmothers as witches, Kiran shared how she has always respected boundaries.“They call me by my name, they call me Kiran. Nobody calls me anything else, it’s a wonderful relationship… I think if you know your boundaries, then the relationship won’t go sour. You need to know, ‘I can say this, I can’t say this. This isn’t my area, I don’t want to meddle here’,” she explained.Kiran also revealed that they have never had any fights or arguments. In fact, they make it a point to celebrate special occasions together. She added that the age gap between her and the children isn’t very wide. “Age wise also I’m somewhere in between, it’s not like the kids are really kids for me,” she said with a laugh.When asked if she ever felt like telling them that she wanted to be their mother, Kiran was clear and respectful. “I don’t want to be their mother, they have a mother,” she stated.Ramesh and Kiran’s marriage: A bond of over three decadesRamesh and Kiran tied the knot in 1991.
