Ira Khan Explains Silence on NEET Protests

Ira Khan, the daughter of famous actor Aamir Khan, recently explained why she hasn't spoken out about the NEET protests.

She said she avoids news and social media because it makes her feel overwhelmed and helpless.

Ira shared that her cousin was potentially detained during one of the protests, which really scared her.

She also mentioned that she doesn't feel she has anything meaningful to add to the conversation.

Instead, she focuses her energy on mental health advocacy through her foundation, Agatsu.

Ira believes there should be better communication between the government and students about the NEET paper leak.

She acknowledged that her ability to distance herself from the issue is a privilege.
