Aamir Khan's Daughter Ira Khan Opens Up About Being Assaulted At The Age Of 14, Says She Wrote An Email To Her Parents

Ira Khan had spoken about her depression sometime back with a video on her social media. It took her some time, but once again, she has opened up about herself and her personal experience with a video on social media and this time, she has spoken about privilege.

In the video, she has opened up about not just being privileged but also about not coming from a 'broken family'. She also opened up about being assaulted at the age of 14. She said, "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."

She had said, “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, “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.”

When she had spoken about her depression, Kangna Ranaut had said that this is what children of broken family often go through.
