But after returning from the wedding, Ira Khan had posted a video, revealing how she was not able to be as involved in the wedding as much as she had wanted to due to her battle with mental health. Ira Khan had said, "I wanted to be part of the wedding. I didn't want to just be in bed and cry. But I slept a lot. Feel bad for not being as involved as I wanted to be... I can be happy for their wedding and still feel like absolute c***." Updating about her current mental state, Ira had stated, "I am okay but I'm also crying a lot." Ira had captioned her post as “Hello again FT. Wiza TRIGGER WARNING: It’s not a happy, positive video. It’s not an unhappy, negative video either. But I’m.. blah and if you’re low, it may or may not be the best thing to watch. You be the judge. And clearly I mumble. A lot. Will be more conscious next time. #thehappycompany #therapizeindia #mpower #depression #blabber #burnout #cat #mentalhealth."
When Ira Khan had opened up about her battle with depression, Kangana Ranaut had commented on the same, saying "there can be many reasons for depression but it’s generally difficult for broken families children, traditional family system is very important." Denying 'broken family' as the reason behind her depression, Ira had said, "When I was small, my parents got divorced. But that didn’t seem like something that would traumatise me because my parents’ divorce was amicable. They are friends, the whole family is still friends. We are not a broken family by any means. My parents were very good about being parents to Junaid and me, even after divorce. And when people would say ‘Oh I am so sorry to hear about your parents’ divorce, I would be like (shrugs) ‘What are you talking about? It is not a bad thing. Another privilege I didn’t realise. It could be something that could scar you. It didn’t scar me. I don’t remember most of it but I didn’t feel like my parents’ divorce is something that could bother me. So that can’t be the reason why I am feeling so sad."
