Ira is the daughter of Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta, who were married in 1986. They were together for 16 years before divorcing in 2002. The couple has a son named Junaid, who made his acting debut in 2024 with the OTT film “Maharaj.”
Aamir Khan later married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005, but they divorced in 2021. They have a son, Azad Rao Khan, born via surrogacy in 2011. Currently, Aamir is in a relationship with Gauri Sprat, confirming their relationship in 2025, with plans to marry on July 5.
