Aamir Khan reveals he goes for joint therapy with daughter Ira: 'It has been helpful'

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has revealed that he and his daughter Ira have been undergoing therapy sessions together. The actor, who is been on a break from acting for the past two years, has been spending quality time with his family.

In a video shared by Netflix India, Aamir and Ira can be seen discussing mental health with Dr Vivek Murthy.

"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. 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," said the actor.

Khan asserted that therapy had the power to heal minds. "Therapy is a very powerful thing. I'm a fairly intelligent guy. I can think things through. I'm a sensible guy. If there's an issue, I can sort it out for myself. But no, I can't. It doesn't matter how intelligent you are. It doesn't matter how worldly-wise you are. We know so 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."

This isn't the first time that the father-daughter duo have engaged in a conversation about mental -health.
