Aamir Khan's Daughter Ira Admits She Felt "Useless" For Not Earning At 27
New Delhi:
Aamir Khan shares a great bond with his daughter, Ira Khan. Recently, the father-daughter duo had an honest conversation about their relationship that left hearts melting.
In a chat with Pinkvilla, Ira opened up about her internal struggles before launching her mental health foundation, Agatsu. She shared, " Mere maa baap ne mere upar, main 26-27 saal ki hoon, mere upar bahot paise kharch kiye hain, aur main duniya mein bekar insaan hoon, main kuch nhi kar rahi hoon. [My parents have spent so much on me, and at 26-27 years old, I feel like I'm a failure in life, not doing anything.]'
Aamir Khan immediately stepped in to clarify his daughter's feelings. He gently corrected, " Inka matlab hai, paise naa kamana. [She means, not earning money.]'
Ira Khan agreed, "Not earning money, not doing something worthy, before starting Agatsu."
Aamir Khan also spoke about society's obsession with financial success. He said, " Kuch log logon ke kaam aate hain, aur uske awaz mein paisa lete hain, as long as main logon ke kaam aaun, and uske badle paisa loon ya nhi, that's a separate issue. aap logon ke kaam aao, ye kaafi hai. [Some people help others, and take money in return, but as long as I am helping others, whether I get paid or not, that's a separate matter. Helping others is what matters most.]"
Proud of Ira's work, Aamir Khan expressed his admiration for her foundation. He said, ' Aap itna logon ki help kar rahin hain, as a father ye mere liye bahot badi cheez hai. aap paise kama rahe ho ya nhi, wo mere liye important nhi hai, aap kaam accha kar rahe ho, ye mere liye important hai. [You're helping so many people, as a father, this means so much to me. Whether you earn money or not, it's not important to me; what matters is that you're doing good work.]"
Ira Khan is the daughter of Aamir Khan and his first wife, Reena Dutta. They also have a son, Junaid Khan. After their separation, Aamir married Kiran Rao in 2005, but the two parted ways in 2021. Despite their divorce, Aamir and Kiran continue to co-parent their son, Azad. Currently, Aamir Khan is in a relationship with Gauri Spratt.
On the work front, Aamir Khan will be next seen in Sitaare Zameen Par. The film is a spiritual sequel to his 2007 hit, Taare Zameen Par.

Aamir Khan opens up about Junaid Khan's journey in Bollywood; says he struggles with giving interviews
Aamir Khan shared his views on son Junaid's Bollywood career after 'Maharaj' and 'Loveyapa'. He praised Junaid's talent and sincerity, while also noting his weaknesses: interview skills and dancing. Aamir believes Junaid's resilience will lead to success. Junaid will next star in 'Ek Din'. Aamir is also returning to the screen with 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Aamir Khan 's children have stayed out of the spotlight for a long time. When his son, Junaid Khan , started acting in Bollywood with the movie 'Maharaj' in 2024, many fans were curious. Junaid did very well in his first film and impressed people. But his second movie, 'Loveyapa', with Khushi Kapoor, got mixed reactions—some liked it, while others didn't. Now, Aamir Khan has shared his honest opinion about Junaid's acting so far. Aamir's Support and Praise for Junaid's Performances In a recent conversation with News 18, Aamir expressed strong support for his son Junaid's acting abilities. He believes Junaid is a very talented actor and is proud of how well he has performed in both of his films so far. Aamir mentioned that while watching 'Maharaj', he felt like he was seeing the character Karsan come to life, appreciating the sincerity and innocence Junaid brought to the role. He also noted that in Junaid's second film, where he played a mischievous character very different from his real personality, he managed to deliver a convincing performance. Looking ahead, Junaid is set to star in a romantic film called 'Ek Din' opposite Sai Pallavi . Honest Discussion on Junaid's Weaknesses During the conversation, Aamir openly discussed some of Junaid's weaknesses. He noted that Junaid struggles with giving interviews because his sincerity sometimes leads him to say the wrong things, which can cause misunderstandings. Aamir also pointed out that Junaid does not fit the mold of a typical Hindi film hero and admitted that he is not good at dancing. Confidence in Junaid's Future and Aamir's Upcoming Projects Khan believes that although Junaid hasn't yet received the success he truly deserves, his determination and resilience make him a strong contender in the industry. Aamir has full faith in his son's potential. As Junaid prepares for his upcoming projects, Aamir is also gearing up for his comeback to the big screen with 'Sitaare Zameen Par', starring opposite the talented Genelia Deshmukh , marking his first release since 'Laal Singh Chaddha' in 2022.

Aamir Khan's upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par's first audience review has already got fans buzzing with anticipation. Recently, celebrated Indian author Sudha Murthy reviewed the movie, calling it an 'eye-opener' packed with emotional and philosophical depth. 'It's an eye-opener I feel because many people don't understand such children whom we call 'not normal'. But this is a very beautiful movie where you understand they have a pure heart, and always smile because they are so pure in their approach to life," said Sudha Murthy. Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is a sequel to Aamir Khan's 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par, which centered around a dyslexic child – Ishaan Awasthi – portrayed by Darsheel Safary. Aamir Khan plays the role of Ishaan's teacher, who is also the first person to realise that Ishaan is a differently-abled child, and helps him navigate through life. Sitaare Zameen Par movie's narrative revolves around a basketball coach—played by Aamir Khan—who is assigned the task of training a team of differently-abled children for an upcoming tournament. The film is based on the acclaimed Spanish movie Campeones, but is reimagined for Indian sensibilities. After attending a special screening, Murthy called on audiences to watch the film in large numbers, praising its ability to gently awaken society's conscience toward the lives of differently-abled individuals. 'These are very great life lessons, deep philosophical lessons, which we learn from these people," said Murthy. The movie is slated to hit the big screens on June 20. The Sitaare Zameen Par cast includes Genelia Deshmukh and introduces a group of ten young debutants, among them Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, and Vedant Sharma. With moments of laughter, tears, and triumph, the movie aims to strike a balance between entertainment and enlightenment. The film is jointly produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. Music is composed by the celebrated trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Ram Sampath provides the soul-stirring background score, while cinematographer Srinivas Reddy and editor Charu Shree Roy are to be credited for the visual storytelling. Aamir Khan was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, which hit the big screens in 2022.
