Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira reveals advice she received from her ‘aunt’ Kiran Rao when she told her about battling depression

Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan recently opened up on being clinically depressed. On World Mental Health Day, Ira had revealed that she is suffering from depression for the last 4 years.

She has shared the first part of her video series in which she will discuss depression. In part one of the video that she posted on Instagram, Ira said that ‘different people show their depression differently’. “What can you say to someone who’s depressed as way of advice when you don’t really know how their depression is effecting them? What should you say? What should you not say?”, she captioned the video.

Ira Khan started the video by saying about the different advice she got from people after posting her first video about depression. People asked her to stay positive, keep busy and workout. Ira then said that she went to around four doctors and they, including her parents and her ‘Kiran aunt’ (Aamir’s wife), advised her ‘to stop being busy, stop jumping from one thing to the next… Just be… Just slow down’.

Ira said that she used to enjoy working out, but she is scared of it now. She said, “I used to work out a lot, but now I’m scared of working out, which is frustrating because I loved working out a lot.”
