Ira Khan on Being Sexually Abused at 14

While Ira Khan has already revealed about being sexually abused at a very young age in an Instagram post back in 2020, she once again spoke about it in a recent interview. When asked about how tough it was for her to open up regarding the situation, she replied, ” I was 14, and I kept telling myself, ‘I don’t know whether he knows what he’s doing. Whether he’s doing this on purpose. Maybe it’s just a mistake. It went on occasionally for a year. One day it became very evident. They knew what they were doing.”

This was when Ira finally mustered the courage to share her feelings with someone. She approached her mother, Reena Dutta, and told her everything. Ira revealed that all of this could have been addressed much earlier, and the only thing holding her back was her self-doubt. She said, “Once my internal doubt, self-doubt, judgement, whatever came to a breaking point, I immediately told my parents.”
