He got separated from his first wife Geeta. In a recent interview, Kiran has opened up on her marriage and revealed that the things that were speculated about their marriage, didn't bother her as she was never the home breaker.She said during a chat with Lehren, "See, marriage would have bothered me if I was the home breaker, but I already knew their situation, so it’s not like I broke their house. So I was okay with that, and that was never the worry.

And to tell you, I have always gotten better along with older people somehow, men or women. Maybe I was too mature at my age. But boys of my age, I could never tune with them mentally. So yes, he was much older, but that didn’t bother me, neither did it affect anything.

”Talking about Sippy and the qualities she admired in him, Kiran said, "His personality. I saw a man who was so huge and big, but not for a minute, not with anybody, even the spot boys on the set would he raise his voice or misbehave.

And this was commendable, because people change with success. Even if one of their films become a hit, they behave as if they have arrived. But here was a man who had given hit after hit, but so humble, so proper.

I mean, if ladies would come, he would stand. So I liked him for the human being he was.”Sippy had three children with his first wife Geeta - Rohan Sippy, Sheena, and Sonya. Though Sippy and Juneja have no children together, she considers his children as her own.After Ramesh, now his son Rohan Sippy is also a well-known director known for movies like 'Kuch Na Kaho', 'Bluffmaster', 'Dum Maaro Dum' among others.
