Ira Khan has opened up about her battle with clinical depression on many occasions. Recently, while talking to paps, said that many people think that only those with mental health issues get suicidal thoughts.

Calling the notion false, she said, "A lot of things happen together... It is actually very complicated. Also, people forget that someone with no mental illness can still feel very alone." She also added that one should find something that gives hope in life.

She further said, "Reaching out to people is a very big part. If we know there are many little things people can do to prevent this (suicide)... It's not so dreadful or hopeless, there is hope. People often think if they ask someone if they are feeling suicidal, they might put the thought in the person's head. It doesn't work like that."

The 26-year-old star kid recently launched the Agastu Foundation to aid mental health support. Her father, Aamir, and mother, Reena Dutta, are members of the advisory board of her foundation. Ira also revealed that her father initially funded her organisation.

Earlier, speaking to The Times of India, Ira talked about battling depression and revealed she is still on medication. "Every 8-10 months I will have a big crash. It's partly genetic, partly psychological, and partly social. It took me a while to figure it out. But I have mental health disorders in my family. I also did not make healthy choices and I systematically walked into depression," she shared.
