An extremely successful debut, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008), made Imran Khan, in today's parlance, a ‘national crush'. However, he stepped away from showbiz after Katti Batti in 2015. He has been vocal about his personal struggles, the flipside of fame, and his battle with depression. He recently engaged in an interactive session on Reddit, where a netizen called him ‘berozgaar'. Look at what the actor had to say.

A Redditor asked Imran Khan, "Kya bhai, kya chal raha? Sab thik thak? Koi berozgaar wala tana to nahi marta naa? Or marta bhi hai to deflect kaise karte?" Imran Khan replied, "Sab theek bhai! Aise logon se kya kaha jaa sakta hai?" He also added a GIF that read, "Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

A fan asked, "How do you earn money other than from movies?" The actor replied, "I invest wisely and live simply." He was also asked, "You kind of disappeared at your peak. What made you step away from films, and do you ever regret it?" He responded, "I had started to lose sense of who I was outside of my public identity."

Responding to a similar question, Imran wrote, "I've enjoyed my time out of the public eye. It gave me the chance to really process and adjust my relationship with the nature of fame. It's a strange beast and can easily get the better of you if you don't deal with it consciously."
