In a 10-minute video posted on Instagram, the theatre director stated it took her a couple of 12 months to grasp to make sense of it, following which she confided in her father and mom Reena Dutta. “When I was 14, I was sexually abused. That was a slightly odd situation in the sense that I didn’t know whether the person knew what they were doing, I sort of knew them. It wasn’t happening every day.”
“It took me about a year to be sure that they knew what they were doing and that’s what they were doing. I immediately wrote my parents an email and got myself out of that situation,” Ira Khan stated in a clip on Sunday.
The 23-year-old stated as soon as she was out of that scenario, she did not really feel unhealthy anymore, however she would usually beat herself up and really feel “silly” that she let the abuse occur. “I wasn’t scared. I felt like this wasn’t happening to me anymore and it is over. I moved on and let go. But it was again not something that has scarred me for life and something that could be making me feel as bad as I was feeling when I was 18-20 years old,” she added.
Ira Khan stated even her dad and mom’ divorce did not “traumatise” her because it was amicable. Aamir Khan and Dutta separated in 2002 after being married for 16 years. The former couple can be dad and mom to son Junaid Khan. Ira Khan stated they don’t seem to be a “broken family” and everyone seems to be associates with one another. “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 that your parents got divorced’, I would be like why? It’s not a bad thing.”
Ira Khan stated divorce of 1’s dad and mom might be damaging for kids however it wasn’t one thing that scarred her. “I remember most of it, but it felt like my parents’ divorce didn’t bother me. So, that can’t be a reason why I was feeling so sad.” Ira Khan stated she stored questioning why was she feeling depressed regardless of being pretty privileged. She stated when she felt suffocated or cried, she did not attain out to her closed ones as she didn’t wish to burden them.
“(I thought) It’s not like anyone can help me through this because there’s no reason for me to feel like this because nothing bad has happened to me. I shouldn’t feel like this. I don’t have any reason to feel like this. “And so my very own sense of privilege, my very own sense of feeling that I needed to have a ok cause to really feel like this made me not speak to anybody,” she added.
