Bollywood actor Aamir Khan experienced a ‘proud dad’ moment as his daughter, Ira Khan, received the Inspiring Youth Award at the 10th edition of The CSR Journal Excellence Awards in Mumbai on Saturday. The event witnessed the presence of Aamir’s first wife and Ira’s mother, Reena Dutta, and Ira’s fiance, Nupur Shikhare.

Ira, the CEO and founder of the Agatsu Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on mental health and wellbeing, expressed her gratitude on social media. She shared a selfie with the award, saying, “Thank you for the honour, @thecsrjournal I got to share a stage with so many cool people! Thank you to the entire @agatsufoundation team – the official team and the unofficial team – for being on this journey with me ❤️ you’re the reason I can do what I do.”
