Superstar Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan has revealed that she was sexually abused when she was just 14. The star kid also said that she had wrote about it to her parents.

In a video on Instagram, she said: "When I was 14, I was sexually abused. That was slightly an odd situation in the sense that I didn't know what that person was doing. It wasn't happening every day, so it took me a year to be sure that they knew what they are doing and that is what they are doing and immediately I wrote to my parents and got myself out of the situation."

"Once I was out of the situation, I didn't feel bad anymore. I wasn't scared. I felt like this is not happening to me anymore and it's over. And I moved on and let go. It was not something that has scarred me for life and something that could make me feel bad", she said.

Ira said that she never revealed anything to anyone because she assumed that her privilege meant she should handle her stuff herself, or if there was something bigger, it would make people need a better answer than “I don’t know.”

She also spoke about her parents' divorce in the video, saying that their separation was amicable. She said that her parents are still friends and they are 'not a broken family by any means'.
