Aamir Khan recently revealed that he and his daughter Ira Khan have started joint therapy sessions to address and resolve issues that have persisted for years.
While conversing in a new video on Netflix, the PK star along with his daughter Ira and Dr. Vivek Murthytali talked about mental health.
Aamir said, “Therapy is so helpful. I think she (Ira) pushed me down that path. I would strongly recommend therapy to anyone who feels the need for it? It has been helpful for me. In fact, Ira and I also have started joint therapy. The two of us go to a therapist for our own relationship.”
He added, “To work on how to make that better and issues which have been there for over years.”
During the conversation the 3 Idiots star also discussed the power of therapy.
He said, “Therapy is a very powerful thing. I'm a fairly intelligent guy. I can think things through. I'm a sensible guy. If there's an issue, I can sort it out for myself. But no, I can't. It doesn't matter how intelligent you are.”
Explaining about the mental health, Aamir stated, “It doesn't matter how worldly-wise you are. We know so little about our minds... That a person who has a lot more knowledge and has got the basics right really helps you in leaps and bounds to understand it. In India, a lot of us feel if I go for therapy, I have a mental problem. I don't want people to know I'm going for therapy. But it is okay need help. I have benefited greatly from therapy.”
Aamir and his first wife Reena Dutta share a son Junaid Khan and a daughter Ira, but the couple parted ways in 2002.
Then he married Kiran Rao and they had a son named Azad Rao Khan, but they divorced in July 2021.
