Ira Khan Says “I don’t want to pursue films,” Focuses on mental health work and personal well-being : Bollywood News

Ira Khan has made it clear that she does not plan to enter the film industry, choosing instead to concentrate on mental health advocacy and her personal life.

Ira Khan Says “I don’t want to pursue films,” Focuses on mental health work and personal well-beingIn a recent interview, Ira said, “I’ve been working full-time at an NGO for the past five years, with one break in the middle for my mental health. It is my career. I don’t want to pursue films.” She explained that her decision stems from her own experiences with depression and her desire to work in a field that feels meaningful to her.

While her brother Junaid Khan has stepped into acting, Ira said films are not her calling. She noted that her work allows her to engage creatively in ways that align with her values, without being part of the entertainment industry.

Speaking about lifestyle changes, Ira shared that she now prefers quieter social settings over loud nightlife. She emphasised the importance of sleep, smaller gatherings, and maintaining routines that support her mental health. According to her, these shifts are a result of better understanding her own needs.

On the personal front, Ira described married life with Nupur Shikhare as steady and uncomplicated. “Life after marriage has been pretty much the same as life before marriage,” she said. She also mentioned that living with her husband and mother-in-law has been comfortable, especially since they were already sharing a home before the wedding.

Ira added that she feels secure in her relationship with her parents and believes she can approach them without hesitation if she ever needs support.

Her remarks reflect a conscious decision to step away from the expectations often associated with her background and focus instead on work and routines that prioritise stability and well-being.
