Actor Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan, has been openly discussing her mental health struggles for years. She actively advocates for mental well-being, stressing on the significance of seeking help from professionals. On Mental Health Day, Aamir Khan joined Ira in a video emphasizing that there’s no shame in asking for help. In the video, they highlighted how people seek assistance for various things like learning subjects, getting haircuts or fixing things at home, and mental health should be treated with the same openness and acceptance.
In the video, Aamir can be heard saying, “Zindagi mein aise bohot saare kaam hai jo hum khud nahi kar paate. Jisme humme kisi aur vyakti ki madad lagti hai, jo yeh kaam jaanta hai. Aur yeh faisle hum badi asaani se le lete hai, begair kisi sharam ke, begair kisi jhijak ki (There are a lot of things in life that we cannot do ourselves. For that we need the help of others, someone who knows how to do that job. And we take these decisions so easily, without any shame or hesitation).”
Ira also suggests that if someone is facing mental or physical challenges, they should not hesitate to seek help from trained professionals. Check out the video here:
