Bollywood actor Aamir Khan and his daughter Ira Khan have revealed that they have been benefitting from therapy over the years.
On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, the father-daughter uploaded a health awareness video in which while promoting therapy, they explained how seeking therapy is as normal as seeking help from a doctor, teacher, and carpenter in their respective areas of expertise.

“Similarly, if we ever need help with our mental or emotional health, we should seek help, with the same ease and lack of hesitation, from someone who’s trained and is a professional,” said Ira.
“My daughter Ira and me have been reaping the benefits of therapy for years. If you also feel like you’re going through mental or emotional issues, you can seek a trained professional’s help. There’s no shame in that. All the best,” Aamir concludes.
She shared the video on her Instagram Stories too, and wrote, “Because the only criteria to seek therapy is to be human.” In the next Story, she urged her followers to “break the stigma” if they’ve sought therapy too. She then reposted posts from some of the users who opened up on their positive experiences of therapy, including actors Ali Fazal and Vir Das.
On the work front, Aamir is producing Laapata Ladies and Lahore 1947. He will next star in an untitled home production, slated for a release on Christmas 2024.
