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'
Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan has often spoken candidly about her mental health struggles. In a recent interview, Ira shared that she felt 'guilty' and 'useless' for not earning and being financially dependent on her parents in her late 20s.
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.

Sitaare Zameen Par first review: Sudha Murty calls Aamir Khan's comedy-drama an ‘eye-opener' that offers ‘deep philosophical lessons'
One of the most anticipated Bollywood films at the moment, RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par has been creating buzz for quite some time now. This is not just because the movie marks the return of Aamir Khan to the silver screen in a lead role after three years, but also since its trailer promises that the movie will be a heartwarming comedy-drama that offers us some respite amid the flurry of loud actioners we are bombarded with frequently. Now, author and philanthropist Sudha Murty, who recently watched the movie at a special screening, has shared her review of Sitaare Zameen Par. Calling it an 'eye-opener', she shared that the Aamir Khan-starrer is 'a beautiful film'. 'I feel the movie's an eye-opener. Many people don't understand such children whom we call 'not normal'. But this is a very beautiful movie where you understand that they are very sensitive and that they have a pure heart. They always smile, too, because they are so pure in their approach to life. These are great and deep philosophical lessons which we learn from these people (the characters in the film),' she shared after watching Sitaare Zameen Par. SCREEN Exclusive | Aamir Khan says he was asked to do an action film after Laal Singh Chaddha failure: 'I had many offers, but story of Sitaare Zameen Par entered my bloodstream' 'The movie is inclusive of these people, and they have their own kingdom of mind and work. This movie can bring about a lot of changes, actually. We should include them in our normal system and try to rehabilitate them in a normal way. Thank you very much for such a great opportunity to see a great movie by Aamir Khan,' she added. Featuring Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain and Ashish Pendse, among others, Sitaare Zameen Par is penned by Divy Nidhi Sharma. Jointly produced by Aamir and Aparna Purohit, the movie boasts music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, a background score by Ram Sampath, cinematography by Srinivas Reddy and editing by Charu Shree Roy. Sitaare Zameen Par will hit the screens on June 20.

A rare throwback video of Aishwarya Rai dancing with Aamir Khan to the classic song 'Tujhe Dekha To' from 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' is making waves online. In the clip, Aishwarya stuns in a pink lehenga while Aamir keeps it casual in a denim jacket and jeans. Though the event's details aren't clear, the unexpected pairing and the nostalgic soundtrack have quickly grabbed fans' attention. Mixed Reactions: Aishwarya Shines, Aamir Falls Short? While fans loved seeing Aishwarya and Aamir share the stage, reactions to their individual performances have been mixed. One comment on Reddit read, 'Aishwarya carrying the performance on her back.' Another one wrote, 'He looks so awkward.' Another one commented, 'The dress and the colour is so good!!! Also all the ads they did for the soft drink brands they looked dope and had a very addictive chemistry. I wanted more of Aish with mamu but only if he would have dropped his male ego during the shooting of mangal pandey and giving Aish a script like how she demanded instead of putting his own way onto her.

Never Co-Starred, But Always Talked About Despite their stature in Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai and Aamir Khan have surprisingly never shared screen space in a full-length feature film. This old video reignites the conversation around what could have been if they had. Aishwarya has famously delivered romantic hits with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan , but Aamir remains the missing piece in her leading-man lineup. As for upcoming projects, Aamir is set to return to the big screen with 'Sitaare Zameen Par', where he plays a basketball coach. Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai rare video |DDLJ| Tuje Dekha song|
