Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who is prioritising his relationship with family at this phase of life, revealed that he and daughter Ira have been undergoing therapy sessions jointly to fix their inter-personal problems, reports NDTV.
In a recent video shared by Netflix India, Aamir, along with his daughter Ira, can be seen discussing mental health with Dr. Vivek Murthy.
He says in the video, “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. In fact, 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.”
Asserting the power of therapy to heal minds, The superstar also said, “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.”
