Bollywood's heartthrob Imran Khan walked in the footsteps of his uncle, Aamir Khan, and stepped into the Indian film industry to become an acclaimed actor. He worked as a child artist in movies like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar before making his acting debut as a lead actor in the 2008 film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

The coming-of-age rom-com also starred Manjari Fadnnis, marking her third Hindi film. Recently, the actress expressed her eagerness to watch her co-star on the big screen again after he has been away from the industry for a while now.

Khan was last seen in the movie Katti Batti back in 2015, after which he directed a short film, Mission Mars: Keep Walking India. Revealing why he decided to quit acting, the Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola actor told Vogue India that he hit a low in 2016 where he 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 shared.

Imran added that he decided it was no longer his job to be an actor. "Now, I had to fix myself; be at my healthiest and strongest for my daughter," the actor concluded.
