Imran Khan on quitting Bollywood

“I hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside,” he confessed to Vogue. “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. 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,” the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na actor said.

Imran Khan speaks about Katti Batti box office failure

“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,” the Kidnap actor told the magazine.
