Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan has recently been open about her body image issues. She acknowledged that facing these emotions is "a little scary."
Ira took to her Instagram and revealed that since 2020, she has alternated between feeling overweight, obese, and unfit. She acknowledged that she still has a lot to learn about herself and her body, but she has seen a slight improvement that inspired her to begin talking about it in public.
In the video, Ira Khan admitted, “Let's address the elephant in the room, me. Yes, I'm fat and I'm actually obese for my age and my height. And I've been struggling with body image issues and with my relationship with my food since 2020.”
The star kid continued, “I'm not as comfortable and confident talking about this as I was with my depression. So, I'm not entirely sure how this is going to go. It's come in the way of my ability to participate in my friends' lives, in how I show up in my relationship with Popoy, in my self-worth and so then work and everything, in a way that I would say is as intense as how my depression would interfere in my life and sometimes still does.”
She further noted, “And so, I want to talk about this. I want to try and unpack what I think, have been thinking, struggled with, still struggle with, just all of it. I hope it helps me. If it helps you, then plus points. I would recommend not venturing into the comment section and if you do, then at your own risk. And let's see how this goes.”

Alongside the video, Ira penned in the caption, “Yes, I’m fat. Been oscillating between thinking I’m fat/unfit, becoming over-weight and being obese since 2020. There’s lot to be said about it. Definitely things I still need to figure out. But I feel at least a small shift for the better so I’ve decided to start talking about it/share. I may not be as articulate or confident as when I spoke about my depression. Unlike like that, this feels a little scary.”
She added, “But I really think it needs to be talked about. I don’t have a diagnosed eating disorder and I’m also not an expert. Just sharing my experiences. Venture into the comment section at your own risk. I know I will be staying far away from it. Let’s see how this goes. #mentalhealth #fat #bodyimage #fit #bodypositivity.”
