Ira Khan, daughter of Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta, has been using her platform on social media to raise awareness about mental health. Through her posts, the emerging filmmaker openly discusses her emotions and daily experiences, aiming to shed light on the importance of mental well-being. In her recent post, Ira revealed her feelings of fear and loneliness, highlighting her personal struggles and methods of coping, ultimately contributing to the conversation on mental health.
On Saturday, Ira Khan took to her Instagram handle and echoed her thoughts through a series of slides, which she had captioned with yellow heart emojis. She penned, “I’m scared. I’m scared of being alone. I’m scared of being helpless. And of feeling helpless. I’m scared of all the bad things in the world (violence, illness, apathy). I’m scared of being lost. Scared of being hurt. Scared of being muted. Not always. Not every day. You’ll see me laugh, work, live. But when I’m scared… it cripples me.”
Expressing further, Ira elaborated, “Fear often feels worse than the thing itself. The tangible, we can overcome. The fear is endless and as powerful as our imaginations. I forget that I’m loved by very capable people who will find me if I’m lost. Take care of me if I’m hurt. I forget that I’m a capable person. There’s not much to do about that. Fear has that effect. What helps me is to find someone else (or a song, movie, anything) that either physically makes me feel safe or reminds me of the things I’ve forgotten, giving me hope and patience for this fear to pass. Ideally I do both.”
Following Ira’s candid post about feeling scared and lonely, her husband Nupur Shikhare responded with loving reassurances, expressing his presence and affection with a heartfelt comment. Playfully, Ira teased him about the subject of her previous slide. Actor Ali Fazal also chimed in, offering words of encouragement and comfort to Ira, affirming her value and presence in the vastness of the universe. Ira responded to Ali’s uplifting message with a couple of hug emojis, appreciating the support and love being shared.
Ira Khan and Nupur Shikare’s wedding was truly a dreamy affair. Earlier, Ira provided a glimpse into their magical wedding by sharing a teaser on her Instagram. The video beautifully captures poignant moments, from Aamir Khan getting emotional to Ira delivering her heartfelt vows. In her caption, Ira said, “This is only a teaser but neither Ethereal nor us could wait. We wanted to celebrate in the mountains, with the people we love. And we did. It was stunning when we were there but we didn’t realised we were getting married in Rivendell. Nupur, now we have to watch the third Lord of the Rings) It is difficult to put all the love and feelings of that day into words. Thankfully, we have this video instead.”
Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare got engaged in 2023. Notably, Nupur Shikhare is a renowned professional trainer known for his expertise. He has collaborated with celebrities, including Aamir Khan, Sushmita Sen, and others.
