  1. I am a Kerala guy. We used to watch more realistic movies (Parallel) than commercial movies. We appreciate natural actors. We don't give more appreciation to any Bollywood actors than Mammootty, Mohanlal, Fahad, PrithviRaj etc. We have huge respect to Nana Patekar, Nasiruddin Shah, Irfan Khan, Manoj Vajpai and a few more

    Trust me I have huge respect for this guy. He was very nice and was far better than Ranvir sing, Kartik Aryan, Tiger Shroff etc.

    I wish you to be happy and come back to this world. We love you and respect the way you talk ❤️

  2. I have seen only one movie of his (delhi-belly) but always found him to be intelligent. Listening to him talk I resonated so mant things personally about how to look and deal with the world around us. Hope he finds his place and peace in this world.

  3. Commercial success – Gets a ferrari. One of very few in Mumbai (i think only other ones were owned by Sachin and Hritik)
    Commercial failure – Material things dont matter….
    😆 🤣

  4. Two Indians who are working or related to hindi cinema but are talking in English. If imran can't make conversation in Hindi or Urdu then how could he become a successful actor like Amitabh Srk or Aamir Khan. All the greats of hindi cinema are fluent in Hindi and Urdu language while actors like Imran and newcomers struggle to speak good hindi and Urdu. That's why they struggle to dilevering a good dialogue with good expressions.

  5. Anupama Chopra doing a great job, listening like a professional counsellor, or like a loving family member, fully present and feeling the pathos of the interviewee. Touched by that posturing and the compassionate listening, as Khan pours out the deepest darkness he went through.

    Kudos to Imran for being blunt and open about mental health.

  6. Imran is a perfect example of a 90s kid (I'm the same age as him), who has been unable to come to terms with how drastically and for the worse things have changed in the world – not just the entertainment industry, but the world around him. We were born into simpler times – TV had recently been introduced (Mahabharat every Sunday morning), more personal interaction, friendly banter with everyone, no internet, or cell phones. Days could be spent daydreaming. Everything changed post 2000. He seems like an empath who feels things deeply, and is just not cut out for the cut-throat world of cinema, which looks glamorous on the outside, but is soulless on the inside.

  7. Its so good to see him back! Thanks for doing this! He's unlike most of the bollywood celebrities, very genuine, thoughtful, intuitive, sensible and kind of a relatable guy! Hope he makes a comeback and tell us some great stories, JTYJN is a cult classic btw, hope he knows this! ❤

  8. Anupama says the movie that worked did not have toxic masculinity… JTYJN did have Genelia being slapped and Paresh Rawal, a policeman harrasing Ratna Pathak Shah and who can forget Delhi Belly 😅. Have some ethics Anupama

  9. I don’t think the film industry or being an actor specifically is for him, he can try his hands on other things like directing and producing. But for the people who wants him back in front of the screen are riding on nostalgia and forgetting that he wasn’t the best at acting by a long shot.

  10. I’m sure he’s a really nice guy and he speaks very well. But let’s be honest, as an actor, Imran had a very limited range and while he shone in his debut, his other films only highlighted that limited range. I think he’d make a good writer or director.

  11. I personally really like him as an individual and an actor. He seems very empathetic, sensitive, genuine and relatable person not like other actors in Bollywood. He has gone through a lot emotionally after all that he is talking with so much honesty….it is really brave of him as a man to talk about his fears, anxiety, vulnerability is awesome.
    I even liked most of his movies back then and really want hime back on screen.

  12. I, for one, definitely want IK back. There was a calm restraint in his performances (even in something as wacko as Delhi Belly) that I really bought into. And those Filmfare hostings with Ranbir are gold!
