Aamir Khan is known as an actor who never shied away from addressing important issues be it societal issues or mental health. Recently, he opened up about amending his relationship with his daughter from his first marriage Ira Khan and revealed that they are taking joint therapy.

In a conversation with his daughter and Dr. Vivek Murthy, he said, “Therapy is so helpful. I think she (Ira) pushed me down that path. I would strongly recommend therapy to anyone who feels the need for it? It has been helpful for me. In fact, Ira and I also have started joint therapy. The two of us go to a therapist for our own relationship. To work on how to make that better and issues which have been there for over years.”

He further stated that it doesn’t matter how intelligent or worldly-wise one is, we know little about our minds. “That a person who has a lot more knowledge and has got the basics right really helps you in leaps and bounds to understand it. In India, a lot of us feel if I go for therapy, I have a mental problem. I don’t want people to know I’m going for therapy. But it is okay need help. I have benefited greatly from therapy,” he continues.
