Ira mentioned that Reena and Aamir never said it out loud, but it’s possible that they blamed themselves for her situation. She added, “I started my medication when I came home in 2018. During that time, I could tell that both of them were extremely worried because they were going on their own fears and tangents. And I was like, ‘I am the child, I need help right now, we can deal with your fears later’. They never said that or openly blamed themselves, but I am sure they felt those things. Even though they know that it’s not in their control, it’s a culmination of many things. I hope they don’t blame themselves.”

When asked how her parents’ divorce affected her, the 27-year-old shared, “My parents’ divorce wasn’t one day, it was something that changed all our lives since that day. Many good and not good things happened since that day, many things happened that we maybe even didn’t know happened.”

Ira added, “We moved out of the house after the divorce. I was 4 when we moved out but we lived very close by, just like 50 metres away. My dad’s job involves a lot of travelling, it’s a little hard to say if shifting houses affected the dynamic. I am sure it did. But, it was fine! My grandmom also lived in the same building, so were were always around there.”
