Actor Aamir Khan's daughter, Ira has finally taken her first steps in the entertainment industry. Sharing an Instagram picture that shows her on a set, Ira wrote, "I was sitting in the car with @daniellepereira_3 and she turned to me and said, 'Hey Iru, I just realized your career has begun.' And I realized it had." Ira also added hashtags like 'mind blown' and 'grateful' and 'director'.
The photo shows Ira with her back to the camera, facing bright lights, as crew members stand in front of her. The picture has been 'liked' over 3,000 times. Her followers showed encouragement in the comments sections. 'That's a bloody great photo. Also. Damn straight! Looks like we're celebrating tomorrow with some of that pear dessert" , a friend wrote. Another wrote, "Wow that's a flex".
In an interview earlier, Ira had said that her true passion is not acting, but directing. Speaking about directing a stage adaptation of Euripides' Medea, she said, "I've always felt more comfortable and enthusiastic about working off-stage or behind the camera rather than (being) in front of it. I've never felt the inclination to act except if it were in an action film, so I get to learn all the cool stunts. Then again. I can just learn how to do the stunts without a film to work on."
Just like other star kids, Ira's impending entry into the film industry has been much talked about. Her father Aamir hinted that she might be interested in filmmaking and said, "I'm not quite sure what she has in mind but I suspect that she likes the world of cinema and filmmaking. So maybe that's where she would want to go, I don't know."
