Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan has opened up about her long battle with depression.
Speaking to JEE News, Ira revealed that she was diagnosed with depression five years ago. She told how her mother, Reena Dutta and father, Aamir, helped and supported her during this time.
The star kid recalled: “My mom pointed out that I didn’t want to live so I’d just sleep my way through the day so I’d have fewer hours to live in a day.”
“Every 8-10 months I’ll have a major crash. It’s partly genetic, partly psychological and partly social. It took me a while to figure it out.”
“But I have mental health issues in my family. I didn’t even make healthy choices, and I systematically went into depression”, shared Ira.
The 26-year-old, who has gone through this phase himself, started an NGO called the Augusto Foundation to help those who need help battling mental illness.
The Three Idiots actor helped his daughter set up this NGO. According to Ira, her father and mother are on the advisory board of the foundation, reports JEE News.
