Aamir Khan’s Daughter Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles and Parental Divorce
Ira Khan, daughter of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, has candidly discussed her experience navigating mental health challenges, particularly during a period marked by her parents’ divorce. In a revealing interview with Pinkvilla, Ira shared her journey of seeking help and the impact her parents’ separation had on her well-being.
"I don’t think I told him (father, Aamir) that I was putting it on Instagram," Ira said. When she informed both parents of her decision to start medication in 2018, she noted their genuine concern, stating, “During that time, I could tell that both of them were extremely worried because they were going on their own fears and tangents. And I was like, ‘I am the child, I need help right now, we can deal with your fears later’.”
While acknowledging their worry stemmed from a place of love, Ira expressed hope that her parents wouldn’t blame themselves for her struggles. "They never said that or openly blamed themselves, but I am sure they felt those things. Even though they know that it’s not in their control, it’s a culmination of many things. I hope they don’t blame themselves,” she shared.
Ira’s comments shed light on the complex and often unspoken impact of divorce on children. Though Aamir Khan and his first wife Reena Dutta’s separation occurred in 2002 after 16 years of marriage, Ira emphasized its enduring influence.
"My parents’ divorce wasn’t one day, it was something that changed all our lives since that day. Many good and not good things happened since that day, many things happened that we maybe even didn’t know happened,” she reflected.
Ira’s openness about seeking professional help and the emotional landscape surrounding her parents’ divorce resonates with a growing movement to destigmatize mental health conversations.
Aamir Khan has spoken openly about his own experiences with therapy, even revealing in a separate interview that he’s joined his daughter Ira for joint sessions to address issues within their relationship. This family’s willingness to discuss such personal matters shows a commitment to open communication and emphasizes the importance of seeking support during challenging times.
Ira’s story reminds us that mental health is a journey that often requires support, understanding, and professional help. It also underscores the enduring impact of familial changes like divorce and the importance of open dialogue within families navigating these complexities.
