Bollywood actor Imran Khan has spoken openly about his mental health struggles as he prepares for his much-anticipated return to films after more than a decade.
The actor, who was last seen in a cameo appearance in Happy Patel, has completed shooting for his upcoming film Adhoore Hum Adhoore Tum. The project marks his comeback after 11 years and stars Bhumi Pednekar alongside him. The film is directed by Danish director Aslam.
In a recent interview, Imran opened up about his personal journey, including his divorce and the process that led him to seek professional help for his mental well-being. He explained that conversations around mental health were still fraught with stigma 8 to 10 years ago, making it difficult for many to recognize or express their struggles.
“Back then, only eight or 10 years ago, there was still a lot of baggage and stigma around just having a conversation about mental health,” he said. “I didn’t have that, so there were no obstacles to overcome. It was more my own feeling of ‘I don’t feel good’ which I was able to define and identify as ‘I don’t feel like the version of myself I see in my head.’
Explaining the disconnect he felt, the Break Ke Baad actor shared that his internal experience no longer matched how he perceived himself.
“If someone asked me about myself, I would describe myself in a certain way. I consider myself a really cool, laid-back guy who doesn’t have a lot of baggage,” he explained.
Imran also stressed the importance of treating mental health with the same seriousness as physical health. He clarified that contrary to rumors, his mental health issues were not solely caused by his divorce.
By speaking candidly about his experiences, the actor hopes to help others recognize their own struggles and encourage open conversations about mental wellness, particularly within the film industry and beyond.
