Aamir's daughter: I was sexually abused at 14

Ira opened up about being sexually abused when she was 14 and also said that it was her parents who helped her get out of the situation. In her IGTV, she said, “When I was 14, I was sexually abused. That was a slightly odd situation in the sense that I didn't know whether the person knew what they were doing, I sort of knew them. It wasn't happening every day. It took me about a year to be sure that they knew what they were doing and that's what they were doing. I immediately wrote my parents an email and got myself out of that situation.” She added that the incident didn’t really scare her.

She said, “I wasn't scared. I felt like this wasn't happening to me anymore and it is over. I moved on and let go. But it was again not something that has scarred me for life and something that could be making me feel as bad as I was feeling when I was 18-20 years old. “

Speaking about her parents' divorce, Ira said, "When I was small, my parents got divorced. But that didn't seem like something that would traumatise me because my parents' divorce was amicable. They are friends, the whole family is still friends. We are not a broken family by any means. My parents were very good about being parents to Junaid and me, even after divorce and when people would say 'Oh I am so sorry to hear about your parents' divorce, I would be like 'What are you talking about? It is not a bad thing. Another privilege I didn't realise. It could be something that could scar you. It didn't scar me. I don't remember most of it but I didn't feel like my parents' divorce is something that could bother me. So that can't be the reason why I am feeling so sad."

Interesting to see no one commenting on this thread like they did in Ira's depression thread.

Is it because child sexual abuse is not the IT topic?

Amazing that she shared this!

They didn't prosecute the abuser? Even rich Indian parents would rather brush this under the carpet, eh

I didn't get it, how could the abuser not know what s/he had been doing? Unless it's a she and was confused about her sexuality.

there should be stricter laws for those who abuse children but unfortunately its just a few days in jail and thats it.

bhai itna bhi mat jha.

Not a joke

Why amir hide the criminal, on his show he speaks about to come support sexual abused victims to speak out , but when his family come he hide the criminal , when he is educated. Man with resources.

Imagine the horror , ira has to see his abuser in family gathering

Shameful.
