Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan recently took to her Instagram account and shared an IGTV where she addressed all the privileges she got in life by being Aamir’s daughter. She even shed light on her depression, sexual abuse, mental health and divorce of her parents. Talking about Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta's separation, Ira mentioned that the fact never traumatised her, she did not feel like their separation bothered her, even her tuberculosis didn't make her feel horrible. She also said that it might have scared many but it didn't scare her.
 
"I was really young when my parents got divorced. But that to me was not something that would traumatise me. It didn't scar me. They were always there for us. They never pressurised us with anything. When I was six I got Tuberculosis and even that didn't make me feel horrible," she quipped in the video. She also pointed out that the divorce turned out to be a ‘privilege’.
 
"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," she further added. 


While sharing the video, a part of her caption read, "I still think there’s a small part of me that thinks I’m making all this up, that I have nothing to feel bad about, that I’m not trying hard enough, that maybe I’m overreacting. Old habits die hard. It takes me feeling my worst to make myself believe that it’s bad enough to take seriously." ALSO READ: Aamir Khan’s Daughter Ira Khan Opens Up On Facing Sexual Harassment At The Age Of 14; ‘I Didn't Know What That Person Was Doing’
