Have a long way to go." She added in her caption: "Be curious."

Ira Khan, in one of her previous Instagram entries had revealed that she was "sexually abused" at the age of 14 and that it was after communicating with her parents Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta that helped her get her out of the horrific situation that she was engulfed in. "It took me about a year to be sure that they knew what they were doing and that's what they were doing. I immediately wrote my parents an email and got myself out of that situation," Ira Khan said.
