Actor Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan opens up about her struggle with body image. She shared a video admitting that she is not as confident and comfortable talking about it as she has been about depression.
Ira shared an Instagram video in her Instagram post, in which she said, “Let’s address the elephant in the room, me. Yes, I’m fat, and I’m really fat for my age and my height. I’ve been struggling with body image issues and my relationship with food since 2020. I’m not as comfortable and confident talking about it as I was with my depression. So, I’m not entirely sure how that’s going to happen. It was my decision to participate. Coming in the way of potential. My self-worth, work and everything.”
Ira said, “It’s as intense as my depression can and sometimes does interfere with my life. So, I want to talk about it. I want to try and figure out who, I think, still struggles with it. I hope this helps. Plus points if it helps you. I would recommend that you don’t go to the comments section. And if you do, at your own risk. Let’s see how it goes.”

She captioned her post, “Yes, I’m fat. Swinging between thinking I’m fat/unfit, becoming overweight and obese since 2020. There’s a lot that can be said about it. Of course I still need to figure things out. But I feel like at least a small change for the better so I’ve decided to start talking/sharing about it. Maybe I’m that Not as vocal or confident as I was when I talked about my depression. On the contrary, it feels a little scary.”
“But I really think it needs to be talked about. I don’t have an eating disorder and I’m not an expert. Just sharing my experiences. Come to the comments section at your own risk. I know I’ll be far from it. Let’s see how it goes,” the mental health advocate highlighted.
