Kangana Ranaut compares her life with Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira after she revealed she’s depressed: ‘Difficult for broken families children’

Kangana Ranaut compared her journey with Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan who had revealed she has been clinically depressed for last 4 years. ‘At 16, I was facing physical assault...’ she wrote.

Kangana Ranaut has compared her story with that of Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan a day after she revealed her diagnosis of clinical depression. Ira had shared a video on the World Mental Health Day, saying that she has been depressed over four years now.

Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira had shared that she has been diagnosed with depression, which elicited a comment from Kangana Ranaut.

“At 16 I was facing physical assault, was single handedly taking care of my sister who was burnt with acid and also facing media wrath, there can be many reasons for depression but it’s generally difficult for broken families children, traditional family system is very important,” Kangana wrote while sharing Ira’s video. She appears to be hinting that Ira’s depression is due to the fact that her parents divorced, a fact that didn’t go down well with many people on social media. Ira is Aamir’s daughter with first wife Reena Dutta.

In the video, Ira confessed that she has been depressed for more than four years. “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, understand mental illness better.”

Talking about public perception of depression, she added, “Let’s start from where I started. What do I have to be depressed about? Who am I to be depressed? I have everything, right?”

Kangana has often spoken on mental health, also taking indirect swipes at Deepika Padukone as well. She has often targeted people for running ‘mental illness ki dukaan’.
