Aamir’s Daughter Ira Khan Says ‘I was abused at 14’; Know The Whole Story

Aamir’s Daughter Ira Khan says she was abused when she was 14: Few days after sharing a video claiming she is clinically depressed, Ira Khan, daughter of Aamir Khan has now opened up on the incident which triggered the emotion of horror inside of her. She recalled being abused at the age of 14 and then reaching out to her parents, Aamir Khan & Reena Dutta who helped her soon after.
She spoke about the abuse by someone she ‘kind of knew’ and said this in the video that she shared:
When I was 14, I was sexually abused. That was a slightly odd situation in the sense that I didn’t know whether the person knew what they were doing. I sort of knew them. It wasn’t happening every day. It took me about a year to be sure that they knew what they were doing.
She said:
I immediately wrote my parents an email and got myself out of that situation. Once I was out of situation, I didn’t feel bad anymore. I wasn’t scared. I felt like this wasn’t happening to me anymore, and it is over. I moved on and let go.
Aamir’s Daughter Ira Khan had addressed the video to talk about the ‘privilege’ she spoke about while revealing that she was clinically depressed.
This is the video that she shared on Instagram:
She said:
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.
In her video, she also spoke about the divorce of her parents –Aamir & his ex-wife Reena Dutta– and said that it did not scar her as many would assume.
She further added:
When I was small, my parents got divorced. But that didn’t seem like something that would traumatise me because my parents’ divorce was amicable. They are friends, the whole family is still friends. We are not a broken family by any means.
She added in her IG video that even the amicable divorce was a privilege for her and said:
My parents were very good about being parents to Junaid and me, even after divorce. And when people would say ‘Oh I am so sorry to hear about your parents’ divorce, I would be like (shrugs) ‘What are you talking about? It is not a bad thing. Another privilege I didn’t realise. It could be something that could scar you. It didn’t scar me. I don’t remember most of it but I didn’t feel like my parents’ divorce is something that could bother me. So that can’t be the reason why I am feeling so sad.
