Ira Khan Explains Why She Stayed Silent on Student Protests: “I Don’t Look at the News”
Ira Khan said she speaks mainly on mental health and was still deciding how to contribute as student protests over exam irregularities continued.
- Ira Khan, daughter of actor Aamir Khan, addressed her silence regarding student-led protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Posting to Instagram, she explained that avoiding news and social media is a personal choice to protect her mental well-being.
- The ongoing movement at Jantar Mantar, led by the CJP, demands the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. Protesters have sustained a month-long hunger strike seeking broader education system reforms.
- Stressing her reasoning, Khan said, "The first that comes to my mind is that I didn't think I had anything to say that was going to add to the conversation in any manner." She acknowledged the "privilege" of choosing to look away.
- While many film personalities, including actors Naseeruddin Shah and Bhumi Pednekar, have publicly supported the students, Khan maintained she stays away from news to avoid feeling "overwhelmed" or "helpless." Her approach contrasts sharply with industry peers' vocal advocacy.
- Remaining focused on mental health advocacy, Khan stated she is currently "figuring out" how to contribute in a way that aligns with her values. She noted becoming anxious only after a false report suggested her cousin was detained during the protest.
