Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan was massively trolled recently for wearing a bikini during her birthday celebrations in the presence of her father. Apparently, a lot of people had a problem with her exercising her choice. Singer Sona Mohapatra had come out in her defense slamming trolls and schooling them that an adult woman doesn't need her father's approval to wear what she wants to.?
Now, she has shared some more photos from her birthday celebration in the presence of parents Aamir and Reena Dutta, sibling Azad Rao Khan, boyfriend Nupur Shikhare, Kiran Rao and actress Fatima Sana Shaikh.?
Defending Ira, Sona Mohapatra had said, "All the people outraging about Ira Khan's choice of attire or linking it to what #AamirKhan said, did or didn't in the past please note; she is 25. A free, thinking, adult woman. Is exercising her choices. Doesn't need her dad's approval or yours. BUZZ off. #Patriachy #India."?
Ira Khan had also opened up about her anxiety attacks recently. She revealed that she faced physiological symptoms due to the attacks and that her boyfriend Nupur Shikhare.?
"I've started getting anxiety attacks. I've had anxiety. And I used to get overwhelmed. And have crying fits. But I've never had anxiety attacks before. It's the difference between panic and panic attacks. Anxiety versus anxiety attacks. As far as I understand it (anxiety attacks), they have physiological symptoms. Palpitations, breathlessness. Plus crying. And it builds. Slowly. Feels like impending doom. This is what mine feels like. I do not know what a panic attack is like," she wrote.?
"It's a really crappy feeling. My therapist said if it's become regular (context, I had 1 or 2 over 2 months versus almost every day now), I needed to tell my doctor/psychiatrist. In case anyone needed words to describe how they're feeling and this can be of any help. It feels pretty helpless. Because I really want to go to sleep (it usually happens at night for me) but I can't because it won't stop. I try to identify my fears, talk myself down. But once it's hit you, I haven't found a way to stop it. You kind of need to ride it out. So far. That's what I've figured.?
¡°But while it's building, talking to Popeye and breathing has helped make it not come to an attack. At least for a few hours. It also depends on if I get re-stressed by another stimulus later. Life's full of variables. If you're trying to be mindful, remember to take them all into account," she added.?
Ira has always been vocal about her mental health. "Hi, I¡¯m depressed. I have been for more than four years now. I¡¯ve been to a doctor and I¡¯m clinically depressed. I¡¯m doing much better now. For over a year now, I wanted to do something for mental health, but I wasn¡¯t sure what to do. So, I have decided to take you on a journey, my journey, and see what happens. Hopefully, we will get to know ourselves slightly better, and understand mental illness better," Ira had said in a video.
