Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira opens up about her anxiety issues

Ira Khan recently opened up about her anxiety attacks on social media. Taking to Instagram, Aamir Khan’s daughter also said that talking to her boyfriend, fitness trainer Nupur Shikhare and breathing has helped her cope with it. She shared a photo of her after she took a shower, post an anxiety attack. In the picture, Ira is seen in white pyjamas as she posed for a mirror selfie at home.

In the captions, she shared in detail about her condition. Ira wrote: “I’ve started getting anxiety attacks. I’ve had anxiety. And I used to get overwhelmed. And have crying fits. But I’ve never had anxiety attacks before. It’s the difference between panic and panic attacks. Anxiety versus anxiety attacks. As far as I understand it (anxiety attacks), they have physiological symptoms. Palpitations, breathlessness. Plus crying. And it builds. Slowly. Feels like impending doom. This is what mine feels like (sic).”

Her post further read: “It’s a really crappy feeling. My therapist said if it’s become regular (context, I had 1 or 2 over 2 months versus almost every day now), I needed to tell my doctor/psychiatrist. In case anyone needed words to describe how they’re feeling and this can be of any help. It feels pretty helpless... But while it’s building, talking to Popeye and breathing has helped make it not come to an attack. At least for a few hours...hang in there (black heart emoji). P.s. This is me after a long shower after an attack. Showers are a beautiful thing. More on that later (sic).” Reacting to the post, Shikhare posted a red heart, hug and anchor emojis. Actor Shruti Haasan also dropped a red heart emoji.*
