Imran Khan Reveals He Had To Sell His Ferrari, Move Out Of Bungalow. Here's Why
Imran Khan shared some startling facts about how he went about “fixing” his life following the birth of his daughter Imara.
Imran Khan, the nephew of superstar Aamir Khan, is constantly remembered by his fans and everyday these fans ask for the comeback of the actor, who made his debut in 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. For the unversed, Imran Khan had willingly stepped away from the movies nine years ago, and he is now planning to make a comeback. An innocent comment on an Instagram post made by Zeenat Aman led to a renewed interest in Imran Khan, who was once pitted against Ranbir Kapoor.
In the latest entertainment news, Imran Khan shared that he started looking at his life differently after becoming a father. Talking to Vogue, Imran Khan, who was last seen in 2015's 'Katti Batti', alongside Kangana Ranaut, said that he "hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside."
“At that point, it wasn’t my career because I wasn’t excited by it enough to want to work hard for it,” he said.
“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 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,” he added.
During his interview, Imran Khan also revealed the many changes he has made in his life, including moving out of his plush Pali Hill bungalow. He also sold his Ferrari for a simple life.
"I hit a low in 2016 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. At that point, it wasn’t my career because I wasn’t excited by it enough to want to work hard for it," he said.
Imran and his then-wife Avantika had married in 2011 and the duo welcomed their daughter Imara in 2014. The couple announced their separation in 2019.
Talking about his last film 'Katti Batti', Imran Khan said, "When Katti Batti flopped, I wanted to understand some things, so I began working backwards. What had been the biggest hits of the last two or three years? What were the films that had 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.”
For the uninitiated, Imran Khan had first appeared as a child artist in the films 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' and 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar', both starring Aamir Khan in the lead role.
Imran Khan then made his adult acting debut in 2008 with 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. His performance in the film won him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.
He then starred in a number of films like 'I Hate Luv Storys', 'Delhi Belly', 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' and 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu'.
