If not for his children, superstar Aamir Khan says he would have quit making films as he was 'angry and irritated' with himself for not being able to spend enough time with his family and loved ones. The 58-year-old said it was somewhere around 2.5 years ago when he realised that his passion for cinema had taken over his life, including his relationship with children Junaid Khan, Ira Khan and Azad Rao Khan.

Around 2.5 years ago, I realised I was so lost in my passion that I hadn't given enough time to my relationships. I was disturbed and unhappy. I would have left films if not for my children. I was angry and irritated with myself,' Aamir said here at News18 India's 'Amrit Ratna 2023' event.

Opening up about being in therapy for two years on the occasion of World Mental Health Day, Aamir said it has been quite a journey. I can't go back to the time when Junaid was 5 or Ira was 4. We need to understand what we want to do with our time. I've become mindful. I've been in therapy for 2 years. I believe we are not trained to do everything.

When one is in stress or is going through emotional issues they should go to a therapist. It has helped me a lot in understanding myself better. I aspire to become a better version of myself,' he said. The actor said he is happy that he is able to fill the gaps in his relationship with his children. With all my kids, I'm like a friend. I'm a friendly father. We share a strong bond and talk openly I'm calmer. My relationship with my kids is better now, he added.
