Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan opens up on how being a star kid affected her mental health: 'Depression d

Ira said that it would be silly to say that growing up in the family she grew up in, did not affect her state of mind.

She said in some ways, it has helped, and in some ways been unhelpful.

Ira also opened up about a phase when she was diagnosed with clinical depression.

She said that she had the financial resources for effective treatment and people who cared about her, but the ‘depression and fear crippled’ her.

She then went on to form the foundation Agastu in 2021 to help others who face a similar kind of fear, but did ‘absolutely nothing for a year and a half.’

Ira had a depressive episode in July 2022.

She revealed cyclical means every few months, there is a big dip for her.

Usually, the dip lasts two weeks, then she does something which helps her. Ira finally joined Agastu in December last year.

Ira said her family has been supportive from day one and her go to person mostly is her fiance Nupur Shikhare.

‘Even though my family has been very supportive, they didn’t necessarily know how to support me. I needed to articulate it for them. It took efforts from my end their end, to develop communication. It is really difficult to see someone you love, struggle, go through the pain. You start freaking out, you want their problem to be fixed right now, and then you wonder did you do enough. Thus the family goes into their own spiral, as they believe they were not helpful for their person struggling,’ she said.
