Imran Khan Backs Jharkhand Student Protests With Sarcastic Post

Published by Parlour News

Bollywood actor Imran Khan has voiced support for the ongoing student protests in Jharkhand. He shared a sarcastic post on social media that read, “Students protesting in Jharkhand. Let’s all ignore them, what could possibly go wrong.” The remark comes just days after he joined a student protest in Mumbai. Imran made his acting debut as a lead in 2008 with Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, directed by Abbas Tyrewala. Before that, audiences had seen him as a child actor in films starring his uncle, Aamir Khan, including Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. In an interview with Filmfare last year, Imran reflected on his early years in the industry. He said he would tell his younger self to be less fearful and more open to adventure and experimentation. According to the actor, early success often brings advisers with strong opinions about what is right or wrong, leading young actors to believe those voices always know best. He added that true creativity flourishes in freedom rather than in trying to meet others’ expectations. …

The collective nostalgia online is at an all-time high, with fans consistently urging him to make a comeback. At the beginning of 2026, those wishes were partly answered when Imran appeared not as a lead, but in a fun, cheeky cameo in Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. The brief appearance only intensified calls for his return. ‘I found myself feeling disenchanted’ Recently, Imran Khan opened up about his relationship with stardom, particularly after he began stepping away from films. In a conversation with MensXP, he reflected on the allure and eventual disillusionment of fame. He said, “A few years ago, when I was around 25 to 30, that phase where you suddenly find yourself famous and making money, you start to indulge, to dabble in the things that come with being a movie star. So you buy a sports car, you …

When Imran Khan made his debut in 2008, he was often introduced as Aamir Khan’s nephew, which led to the perception that he was a classic “born with a silver spoon” star kid. However, Imran has now clarified that while he may have appeared privileged, his financial reality was far more nuanced. Speaking on the podcast Unfiltered by Samdish, Imran explained that although he came from a well-known film family, Aamir Khan’s success never translated into money for him. “He is my mom’s cousin brother. That’s not my money. That’s not coming to me,” Imran said. Imran Khan’s salary increased from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 crore He shared that he grew up with his mother and stepfather, actor Raj Zutshi. His grandfather Nasir Hussain was a successful producer in the 1960s and 70s, but by the time Imran was growing up in the 80s and 90s, the family was “asset rich but cash poor.” While they lived in a large house in Mumbai’s Pali Hill, his pocket money was less than the kids …

While promoting Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola with Anushka Sharma, Imran Khan said that instead of asking relevant questions, reporters focused on trivial matters. Despite being away from films, Imran Khan remains in the news for his honest and candid interviews. The actor, last seen in Katti Batti, was often targeted by the media during his acting days, frequently compared to Ranbir Kapoor. In a recent interview, Imran revealed that about a decade ago, he was more guarded because the media had a “narrow” and “reductive” worldview, often twisting his statements to make them “spicy.” Recalling an incident while promoting Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola with Anushka Sharma, Imran said that instead of asking relevant questions, reporters focused on trivial matters. “We perceived the Matru…as an issue-based film. I was thrown into a room full of people from the press and suddenly, someone asked me, ‘Is film mein Anushka ji ne two-piece bikini pehni hai. Iske baare mein aap kya kahenge? (What do you think of Anushka …
