Aamir Khan’s Daughter Ira Khan Opens Up On Facing Sexual Harassment At The Age Of 14; ‘I Didn't Know What That Person Was Doing’
On World Mental Health Day, Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan made a big revelation and had said that she’s been suffering from depression. In her short video, the star kid opened up about mental illness and stated that we should have more conversation. Now Ira Khan recently took to social media and opened up about several incidents that have happened with her over the years. Ira shot for a selfie video revealing why feels depressed despite being a privileged kid. While speaking about the same, Ira revealed that she was sexually abused at the age of 14.
Ira Khan revealed that when she was sexually harassed, she had immediately written a mail to her parents and they soon got her out of the situation. She revealed, “When I was 14, I was sexually harassed. That was slightly an odd situation as I didn't know what that person was doing and if they knew what they were doing. It wasn't happening every day. So it took me a year to be sure that they knew what they are doing and that is what they are doing. Immediately I wrote to my parents an email and got myself out of the situation. Once I was out of the situation, I didn't feel bad anymore. I wasn't scared. I felt like this is not happening to me anymore and it's over. And I moved on. It was not something that has scarred me for life and something that could make me feel bad."

Iran Khan posted a video and wrote alongside, “My privilege. I never spoke to anyone about anything because I assumed that my privilege meant I should handle my stuff on my own, or if there was something bigger, it would make people need a better answer than “I don’t know.” It made me feel like I needed a better answer and until I had that answer, my feelings weren’t something I should bother anyone else with. No problem was big enough to ponder too long about. What would anyone do? I had everything. What would anyone say? I had said it all.”


“I still think there’s a small part of me that thinks I’m making all this up, that I have nothing to feel bad about, that I’m not trying hard enough, that maybe I’m overreacting. Old habits die hard. It takes me feeling my worst to make myself believe that it’s bad enough to take seriously. And no matter how many things I have, how nice to me people are because of my dad, how nice to me people are because they love and care about me... if I feel a certain way, a certain not nice way, then how much can rationally trying to explain these things to myself do? Shouldn’t I instead get up and try and fix things? And if I can’t do that for myself? Shouldn’t I ask for help? #mentalhealth #privilege #depression #repression #divorce #sexualabuse,” read her caption further.
