Imran Khan is a famous Indian actor. Filmed in comedies, dramas and melodramas. Connected by blood ties with famous directors - Aamir and Mansour Khanami. He has a grandson to producer and director Nasir Hussein. In this article, you will be presented with a brief biography of the actor.
Childhood
Imran Khan was born in Madison (USA) in 1983. The boy's parents divorced when he was barely 2 years old. Together with his mother, he moved to Bombay. Due to health problems (mental disorders and stuttering) and poor performance, the boy often moved from one school to another. This happened until he got to the school of Nilgiris.
Nilgiris School
At this school, Imran Khan, whose biography is known to all lovers of Indian cinema, studied from 10 to 15 years. The educational institution was located in the village of Geddai and had about 25 students. There was no water and electricity, but wild animals lived. Children often caught the eye of a wild boar. I had to take care of myself on my own. The students themselves washed, cooked, cultivated vegetables, and even built a small dwelling for themselves. There, Imran spent eight months a year, and then returned to Bombay. Since the boy spent most of his time outdoors, he was not very comfortable in the city.
Skip to the cinema
Few know that Imran Khan left the acting family. His grandfather Nasir Hussein was a famous director. In addition, his relatives are famous directors - Mansour and Aamir Khan. It is clear that he was destined to play a movie.
Imran first hit the big screen at the age of three. Mansur Khan filmed it in his painting “The Sentence." Imran played the little Raj. Then there was another episodic role in the film of his uncle Aamir.
With age, Imran’s interest in cinema only increased. As a teenager, Khan decided to make his own films. The first of them was invented on the basis of the plot of Star Wars. The young man shot it on a small camera. Relatives in every possible way supported him. Uncle Mansour helped especially technically.
Relocation to California
At 16, the future actor Imran Khan decided to move to his father in California for higher education. The young man wanted to connect his life with cinema, so the choice fell on a prestigious school in Los Angeles called "New York Film Academy." There, Imran studied as a screenwriter and director. You may ask, how did a boy who received elementary education in the jungle and learned to become a director manage to get into one of the highest grossing films of 2008? It's all about the fateful acquaintance.
Acquaintance with Abbas
After graduating from film school, Imran returned to Mumbai to look for work. The young man wanted to engage in directing. But fate decided otherwise. Khan met with the director Tyrevala Abbas, and he invited him to his project. Imran really liked the script, and he agreed without hesitation.
Before shooting the picture Jaane Tu, Abbas decided to bring together all the actors of the project. The director took them to Panchagi, where they lived together for 10 days. Abbas even came up with joint tasks, after which the guys became more friendly. Of course, this positively affected both the shooting process and the screen interaction of the characters.
Success
After the premiere of Jaane Tu, Imran Khan, films with which are known far beyond the borders of India, became a real star. Critics praised him in their reviews, congratulating him on his successful debut. Most of them predicted a dizzying film career for Imran. The picture Jaane Tu entered the top 5 of the highest grossing films of 2008.
Career development
Imran Khan, films with which Russian viewers watch, continued to develop an acting career. He used an interesting method to select a project. While reading or listening to the script, Imran imagined that he was watching a film. If Khan thought it was worth buying a ticket for this picture, then he agreed to the role.
His next work was the movie Kidnap. There, Imran played a tough and evil guy. That is, the exact opposite of the main character from the Jaane Tu movie. The role was given to Khan with great difficulty. But the audience and critics took the picture with a bang. Another successful work of the actor was the film Luck, where he happened to play with such stars as Sanjay Dutt, Denny Denzogpa, Mithun Chakroborty and Shruti Hassan.
Personal life
At the age of 19, Imran Khan met Avantika Malik. Years later, the actor admitted that this relationship gave him a lot. He became more confident, balanced and learned a lot about himself. Imran’s revelations about relations with Avantika aroused quite a lot of criticism in the press. But Khan himself does not pay attention to this and believes that personal life only helps in a career. He cited Hrithik Roshan, Amir Khan and Shahrukh Khan as an example of his conviction. These actors got married at the very beginning of their career and are still very popular. The engagement of Avantika and Imran took place in 2010 on a farm owned by the bride's family. And a year later they got married. The civil ceremony was held in Pali Hill, in the house of Imran. In an interview, the actor said that he did not want to be in the news with the help of rumors and disputes, and he would keep his personal life away from general attention. At the end of 2013, Imran Khan and his wife learned about the imminent replenishment of the family. In mid-2014, the couple had a daughter, Malika.
