Junaid Khan and Ira Khan, the children of Bollywood star Aamir Khan and his ex-wife Reena Dutta, have been making headlines recently. Junaid, who recently made his film debut with Netflix’s Maharaj, has been receiving praise for his performance. However, the release of the film was halted due to a controversy surrounding its content. The Gujarat High Court issued a stay, citing allegations of ‘scandalous and defamatory language’ that could incite hatred.
Director Malhotra P Siddharth clarified that the film is about one man’s ideology and not intended to hurt any community. Junaid also spoke about how his mother, Reena Dutta, ensured that he and his sister Ira stayed away from the limelight during their upbringing.
On the other hand, Ira Khan has been making a name for herself through her social welfare efforts and mental health advocacy. In recent interviews, she opened up about her complicated relationship with both her parents, Aamir and Reena. She shared that her communication with her mother is easier than with her father but emphasized that she is equally close to both of them.
Furthermore, Ira discussed her decision to drop out of college in 2016 due to mental health issues. She expressed regret over that choice, stating that she made it out of fear and panic. Ira also revealed her struggles with mental health, citing a history of disorders in her family, particularly during her parents’ divorce.
Overall, the insights shared by Junaid and Ira Khan provide a glimpse into the complexities of family dynamics and personal struggles, shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals in the spotlight. Their openness about their experiences serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the value of strong familial bonds.
