Aamir
Khan's
wife,
Kiran
Rao
has
left
Filmbay,
her
brainchild
and
a
unique
project
that
she
was
spearheading.
‘Film
Bay'
a
National
Film
Development
Corporation
(NFDC)
initiative,
would
provide
an
alternative,
exhibition
space
for
independent
and
art-house
cinema
and
documentaries
that
may
never
get
a
traditional
commercial
Bollywood
release.
Although
the
project
continues
on
track,
Kiran
Rao
has
parted
ways
with
it.
This
is
because
although,
she
was
passionately
involved
with
the
project
as
its
creative
director,
bureaucratic
delays
caused
her
decision
to
step
down
from
her
post.
Kiran
Rao
shares,
"FilmBay
was
a
dream
project
for
me,
and
when
I
found
an
ideal
space
for
it,
I
took
the
project
to
NFDC
with
a
lot
of
hope
and
expectation.
To
let
go
of
it
now,
after
working
on
creating
a
blueprint
for
the
space
for
three
years,
is
heartbreaking."
Elaborating
on
the
reasons,
she
said,
"Unfortunately
their
ways
of
working
are
very
different
from
mine,
and
I
did
not
want
to
be
involved
with
a
compromised
version
of
my
vision.
So
it
is
with
a
lot
of
sadness
that
I
have
left.
I
hope
that
someday
I
am
able
to
fulfil
my
dream.
I
wish
NFDC
all
the
very
best,
and
hope
that
they
create
a
hub
for
film
culture
which
our
city
truly
deserves."
