Aamir Khan reveals why Imran Khan does not fit in the industry: 'He's not comfortable with herogiri'
Imran Khan made his debut with 'Jaane Jaane Na' and Aamir Khan was one of the producers on the film. While Imran was loved in his first film and went on to do movies like 'Break Ke Baad', 'Delhi Belly' and many others, he took a long break from the industry and hasn't done a movie in a while. In a recent interview, while Aamir was promoting his upcoming film 'Sitaare Zameen Par', he spoke about why Imran doesn't fit in the industry. He said in an interview with Screen, "Imran has a certain creative instinct. He finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct we have. That's not his natural space. Which is why he'd do really well in a film like Jaane Tu and Delhi Belly. He's in his element there." He added further, 'But the moment you put him into a regular Hindi film, he won't fit. He's not comfortable with herogiri. He wants to play a real person. Everybody was offering him mainstream films because he's good-looking. But he wants to be an actor, and not a star." Imran was away from the limelight for a while, but recently, his Instagram posts created a lot of buzz. He started expressing himself on social media. In an interview with Vogue, he also opened up on the reason for his break from the industry. He said, "I 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. 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." Imran was married to Avantika and got divorced in 2019. They have a daughter, Imara. Imran is now in a relationship with Lekha Washington.

Avantika Malik On Divorce With Imran Khan: ‘Would Never Poison My Daughter Against Him'
Last Updated: Avantika Malik says she would never come between Imran Khan and their daughter, calling attempts to hurt their bond "damaging to the child." Imran Khan's ex-wife Avantika Malik has opened up about their separation and its impact on their daughter Imara, stating that she would never let personal emotions come in the way of their child's bond with her father. In a candid conversation on Nayandeep Rakshit's YouTube channel, Avantika reflected on the emotional challenges of their divorce and the decisions she made for the sake of their daughter. Imran and Avantika parted ways after nearly a decade of marriage. When they broke the news of their separation to their daughter, who was just five at the time, it sparked confusion and fear in the child. 'When we told Imara for the first time that I and Imran were not going to be married anymore, the first question that popped into her head was whether she was going to lose her parents," Avantika recalled. She added that having examples within her family helped Imara understand that both her parents would remain constants in her life. Acknowledging that it's often tough for children to accept new relationships in their parents' lives, Avantika admitted it took time for Imara to adjust. 'Every child has a certain preconceived notion of what a family is supposed to look like," she said. Over time, however, Imara adapted. Avantika shared light-heartedly, 'We joke about it now, and I will ask her whether I should get a new boyfriend or not? She tells me there is no need and it is perfect, just the two of us." Avantika was also asked whether her own relationship with Imran ever interfered with co-parenting. She responded firmly, 'I didn't have a very good relationship with my father in my early years, and I was very clear from the beginning that I did not want that for my child." She added, 'If you decide to poison your child… it's because you are bitter and you have certain resentments. I wanted her to have a very beautiful relationship with him, and me trying to damage that is ultimately going to hurt her." First Published:
