Imran was quoted as saying, "I hit a low in 2017 where I felt broken inside. Luckily, I was working in an industry that had rewarded me financially, so by the time I was 30, I didn't have to worry about money."

Further, he added, "At that point, it wasn't my career because I wasn't excited by it enough to want to work hard for it. I had recently become a father and thought 'This is valuable. This is something I take seriously.' I wanted to be the best version of myself for my daughter Imara. I decided it was no longer my job to be an actor. Now, I had to fix myself, be at my healthiest and strongest for my daughter."

Talking about Katti Batti's debacle, he said, "When Katti Batti flopped I wanted to understand some things, so, I began working backward. What had been the biggest hits of the last two or three years? What were the films that brought my contemporaries success? Do I like those films? Would I have said yes had they been offered to me? The answer was always No. And, that clarified something for me. What I actually wanted was for the films I was in to be successful."

Imran Khan, the nephew of Aamir Khan and grandson of director-producer Nasir Hussain, made his debut in 2008 with Jaane Tu....Ya Jaane Na. Earlier he worked as a child artist in Aamir Khan-starrer movies. In his career spanning over 7 years, he has worked in over 12 movies. He won the Best Male Debut award at the Filmfare Awards and has entertained the audience with his performances which earned him a loyal fanbase. 

Notably, Imran is separated from his wife Avantika Malik, and is reportedly dating actor Lekha Washington. Recently, he was spotted at his cousin Ira Khan's wedding. 

Certainly, fans must be highly excited for the comeback of Imran Khan after a break of nine years.
