Bollywood heartthrob Imran Khan made his Hindi cinema debut with the 2008 film Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na and made a space for himself in the rom-com lovers' hearts. Khan in a recent interview with Vogue India opened up about his long absence from Bollywood. He was last seen in 'Katti Batti' opposite Kangana Ranaut. The film did not do well at the box office and received mixed reactions from the critics. 

Khan opened up and mentioned that he hit a low in 2016 and that his daughter Imara was his biggest motivation to take care of himself and start again. He got separated from his wife Avantika Malik and now they both look after their daughter Imara Malik Khan. He said, "I hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside. 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.” Bit by bit, anything that wasn’t essential fell by the wayside. “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."

On his last release not doing well at the box office, Khan said, "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."

Imran Khan was also seen in movies such as Meri Brother Ki Dulhan (2011), Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012), Delhi Belly (2011), Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (2013), and others.
