Imran Khan Opens Up On Stardom, Steroids & Why he was Missing from Bollywood | Karishma Mehta | Ep80
Ойын-сауық
“When I separated in 2019, I was at my weakest-emotionally & physically. I’d say, I was a husk of a human being. I couldn’t even get myself out of bed, I would stay in my pajamas and just be. But the days when I’d have to take care of my daughter Imara, no matter how weak I felt, I’d pull myself up!”
When he made his debut in 2008 with Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na, Imran Khan was immediately coined as the new ‘chocolate boy’ in Bollywood. From becoming the poster boy for romantic comedies to experimenting with roles, he then suddenly vanished from the world of films, for almost a decade.
And today, we have Imran Khan here with us! Join us for a conversation that’s as candid as candid gets. Imranl talks to us about everything-from how his life changed after Jaane Tu to being skinny-shamed in Bollywood, and from fatherhood to struggling with depression, and lots more.
He even answered the biggest question on the internet today about him-when will Imran make a comeback?
This one’s a conversation unlike any other, an actor opening about stardom, steroids, mental health and so much more…Do not miss it!
We also spoke about:
. Imran being a child actor
. The story behind Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
. Not letting success go to his head
. Being skinny shamed
. Co-parenting
. When will Imran be back?

Imran speaks honestly and from the heart . Being a practising psychotherapist I truly appreciate the way he has owned and addressed (and continues to) his mental health challenges.He is no longer afraid of his vulnerability and that makes him truly courageous.Thank you Humans of Bombay.
It's so good that a man, who is also an actor is talking about emotions and vulnerability. It's good that one can go through many waves in life and sail through the waves.

The other side of masculinity ❤ He is right - A Hero doesn’t really need to be masculine or muscular to assert his dominance or power. He can be sweet yet raw like Imran and still win hearts❤

fine but to be honest he is an average actor actually below average. so for him to speak about working for the craft as if he was a great actor sounds rich
It feels so good to hear the backstories from imran khan himself. I saw all his romcoms growing up and nowadays bollywood romcoms can't compare to his films of 10 years ago. When he says he didn't have that bollywood hero aura, I think his aura is what bollywood needs more of, to make memorable films like "Ek mai aur ek tu" and movies that were before their time like "Delhi Belly". Till date, Delhi belly is one of the most hilarious films I've seen as a 20 year old.

He seems like an intelligent gentleman.
Reality of life is what resonates most and is the greatest leveller Thanks to Imran for having the courage to tell his story so honestly
I love the fact that he is so courageous to own is truth and openly share his challenges. Hats off to him❤️ more power to you . Inspiring.
We're all rooting for you, Imran! Be you best self and that will be enough!
I've been a huge fan of him since my school days. When he disappeared from the movies and media, I missed him a lot! I'm currently in the worst phase of my life, I've often thought about giving up too, but I'm trying to survive each day and make my life better in some way, although it's not helping a bit. I re-watch his movies a lot! They remind me of the simple, happy times, they are my comfort movies. I was also a part of #LautAaoImran thingy on social media and I'm so happy he's back with a stronger personality and is talking about mental health! I've watched all of his interviews and they keep me going, they keep me hopeful. As he mentioned how his favorite star helped him in not giving up, he has been the same for me. I hope you keep doing such interviews, more power to you! (As you taught us "Maana kabhi kabhi saare jahaan mei andhera hota hai, lekin raat ke baad hi toh savera hota hai")

I subscribed after listening to this episode with Imran. Wow! what a giant of a man, what a sense of ethics and passion for the craft. Not only was Imran unfiltered, vulnerable and honest, he was so giving in his thoughts. The end note with Michael J Fox was truly uplifting : doesn't matter how many times you fall, as long as you pick yourself up each time. Bravo, Imran ❤Can't wait to see you back where you belong. With a bigger bang and a source of inspiration for all!!
The way he expresses his opinions so calmy is my entire roman empire 😭🤍

He’s so sorted, self-aware and soft as a human…and their conversation is like two friends chatting. Karishma was visibly comfortable (which she largely is) and admiring him for reasons we do too. Wishing him happiness and good health.
I got soo excited when I got to know that imran khan came on the podcast ❤❤ He is a cutie
appreciate how he has acknowledged and continues to address his mental health challenges. His courage to embrace vulnerability is truly inspiring. Thank for highlighting a man who, despite being an actor, openly discusses emotions and vulnerability, demonstrating that it is possible to navigate life's ups and downs with resilience.
He was my fav actor . ❤ Most of my classmates had crush on him ...More Blessings to you Our Artist ❤

He is a gem man❤
Very proud of Imran that despite of going through personal challenges he sticks to the right principles. Such as not doing ads for only the money, which ppl like SRK, Ajay Devgan others endorse (tobacco or paan masala products)
Thank you for sharing this from the heaet Imran! You speak straight from the heart and how a lot of men have gone though and feel.
I think he got bored and unexcited about the type of roles that was offered to him. So he decided to take a long break and focused on himself and venture on activities that he wanted to do.
Love this guy he is soo true so authentic and so relatable dats y he was missed sooo mucchhh😊
Amazing interview and amazing host. Thx for inviting Imran..It's not easy irrespective of ones financial status. Eventually we all have to find a way to build our lives. His interview with Barkha Dutt is a must watch too....
Such a Beautiful conversation between the host and guest, amazing podcast, nice to see imraan after a long time, keep up the good work 👍👏

Intellect is in his genes but he needs to prove himself massively and not be in the shadows of his mamu jaan Aamir Khan. Now, competition is huge and audience choice has changed moved mainly into performance, content and new makers. He needs to start interacting with the new block and ask for her work. Start delving more into stage, web series and films at last.

As a Pakistani I fully support love respect and support India sovereignty and territorial integrity from Pakistan 🙂

Bro went through Maslow’s hierarchy
His offline personality was always amazing. His interviews in his initial days were also very different and wise. Only problem with him was, he was a mediocre actor.
He's rediscovering himself and consciously shedding the image he had managed to create with the fame he got which does not resonate to his true self.

Halfway through I google why he separated from his wife .. ummm seems like he cheated on her with her best friend .. so how is it that he is the one who got emotionally shattered .. victim mentality at its best lol
I see some similarities to Aamir Khan
This lady doesnt let snyone speak ! Too much interruptions !!!
the guy could hardly act and had zero expressions.. looks dont always matter. hope he has improved on his acting skills and not just his tattoos

Lol😂... If I'm imran khan.. I would rather produce films! Hope u blossom one day!
Costely home cars many expensive gifts whats he says
Wat happened he did not become super star
He isn't even a good actor to begin with. It's just his PR team campaign. He got ample chances during his time and he couldn't match upto the talent that was around at the time. It will be even more difficult now since there's even more talent available. Even if he gets another chance, it's highly unlikely he will be able to make it. However, he speaks well. So , he should probably look into podcasting, hosting etc.
All I hear is privileged people problems.
