Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan admits feeling ‘guilty' and ‘useless' for not earning money at 27: ‘Main duniya mein bekar insaan hoon, kuch nahi kar rahi'
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Ira recalled a time a few years ago when she felt guilty for not contributing financially. 'Main 26-27 saal ki hoon, mere maa baap ne mere upar bahut paise kharch kiye hain, aur main duniya mein bekar insaan hoon, main kuch nahi kar rahi hoon. (My parents have spent a lot of money on me. I am 26–27 years old, and I feel like a useless person in this world. I am not doing anything),' the 28-year-old shared.
Aamir interrupted and said that Ira wanted to imply that she was 'not earning money or doing something worthy' before she started Agatsu Foundation, their mental health support NGO. He added that it was never an issue for him that Ira wasn't pursuing a source of income—instead, he felt proud that she chose to dedicate herself to helping others.
'Aap paise kama rahe ho ya nahi, wo mere liye important nahi hai. Aap kaam accha kar rahe ho, ye mere liye important hai.' (You are helping so many people, and that means a lot to me. Whether you are earning money or not is not important; the good work you are doing is),' the Dangal actor said and continued, 'Money is actually a promissory note that everyone decides to agree to — or else it's just a piece of paper.'
For the unversed, Ira Khan is the daughter of Aamir Khan and his ex-wife Reena Dutta, and sister of actor Junaid Khan. Meanwhile, on the professional front, Aamir will next be seen in Sitaare Zameen Par.
