Imran Khan, the evergreen Bollywood heartthrob with numerous successful films to his credit, suddenly took a step back from acting, much to the disapproval of his huge fan following. In recent news, there has been a surge of interest around his potential comeback, which has generated significant buzz among fans, which have been waiting to see him on-screen.

In a recent interview with Vogue India, the 바카라˜Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na바카라™ actor delved into the reasons behind his departure from the film fraternity. He discussed hitting rock bottom in 2016, a year after the release of his last film, 바카라˜Katti Batti,바카라™ opposite Kangana Ranaut, which failed at the box office. The film바카라™s failure had a role to play in the decision-making process of the actor leaving in the industry.

바카라œ바카라˜When Katti Batti바카라™ 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,바카라 Khan said.

Imran Khan continued, 바카라œI hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside.바카라

He added that he did not have to think too much about the financial aspect, stating, 바카라œLuckily, I was working in an industry that had rewarded me financially. So by the time I was 30, I didn바카라™t have to worry about money. At that point, it wasn바카라™t my career because I wasn바카라™t excited by it enough to want to work hard for it.바카라

Around the same time, the 바카라˜Delhi Belly바카라™ actor had embraced fatherhood and decided to focus on his daughter, Imara Malik Khan, born in 2014. 바카라œI had recently become a father and thought, 바카라˜This is valuable. This is something I take seriously.바카라™ 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,바카라 Imran said.

Currently, the actor is contemplating a return to acting but has not disclosed any details about his upcoming Bollywood project, but either ways, his fans are thrilled upon hearing this news.
