MUMBAI: Imran Khan, nephew of actor Aamir Khan and director-producer Mansoor Khan, and the grandson of director-producer Nasir Hussain, appeared as a child artist in the films Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992). He made his adult acting debut in 2008 with the romantic comedy Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na.
Back in 2020, his longtime friend Akshay Oberoi announced that Imran has quit acting to pursue a career in direction.
Now, Imran Khan's niece Zayn Khan shared an update on him on Instagram. On Sunday, Zayn replied to a fan's question during an Ask Me Anything round on her Instagram Stories, asking about Imran's whereabouts. Last year, Imran officiated Zayn's marriage.
On Sunday, a fan asked Zayn, “What's Imran Khan doing these days?” Zayn replied, “He is being a father and he is being himself and I think he is really happy and when people pull back asking for space, we should give them that.”
Akshay Oberoi had earlier said, “My best friend in Bollywood is Imran Khan, who is no longer an actor because he has quit acting. Imran is my closest friend, whom I can get up at 4 am and call. Me and Imran have been with each other for almost 18 years, we studied acting together.”
He continued, “See, Imran Khan has left acting at the moment. As far as I know, there is a better writer and director inside Imran, I do not know when he will direct his film himself, I am not going to put any pressure, but as a friend, I think so he will direct his film soon. Also, when Imran directs, I know he will make a wonderful film because his sensibility and understanding of cinema is very high.”
On the personal front the Delhi Belly actor was dating his childhood sweetheart, Avantika Malik, till his 20s. And then the couple had finally tied the knot on January 10, 2011. After three years of marriage, on June 9, 2014, the lovebirds had embraced parenthood for the first time with the arrival of a little girl, Imara Malik Khan. However, their relationship had hit a rough patch in 2019, and reports of their separation were all over the media. Avantika even left Imran's house and had moved to her parent's house.
