In a recent interview, Imran Khan shared about his challenges, including his separation and battle with depression. In the splendid wonderland of the Indian film industry where most heroes’ sob stories are hidden behind layers of glory, the hard-hitting revelations of the young sensation Imran Khan recently brought to the headlights a subject, which, though, is not much in vogue with the Indians despite being highly essential – Mental health.
Imran shares at season 2 of “Be A Man, Yaar!” In terms of the show’s themes, it is possible to focus on the topics that relate to strength and frailty and the importance of respect for one’s psychological health. Imran discussed that in more detail about the pressure that people put on each other and the impact it has on the mental health of people. “How do you respect a man who’s not earning, not going to work, just crying about his feelings? That narrative weighed heavily on me,” he shared. This internal struggle left him battling anxiety and depression, leading to sleepless nights, “I would wake up in the middle of the night, 4:00 am, just lie there, heart racing, throat constricting, unable to breathe,” he recalled.
It was a turning point in the story of Imran when due to several factors he was on the verge of doing the unimaginable. “I guess for a while I had this sense that okay, so this is how it ends,” he admitted, describing the haunting feeling. However, at that moment, something inside him snapped back to reality—the thought of his daughter growing up without him was unbearable.
Imran also spoke openly about his recent divorce, describing it as both painful and necessary. “For both of us to thrive, we had to make a difficult decision. It’s gut-wrenching, and heart-wrenching, but it has made me healthier and stronger. I don’t see anything wrong with people changing the status of their relationships,” he reflected.
Imran also talked about issues of body image and education problems and successes, his travelling, and his relationship with his uncle, Aamir Khan. He said, although he is friends with Aamir, he could never share his problems with him.
Speaking of mental health issues, even in the diverse and glamorous show business of Bollywood, Imran Khan’s confessions may help others open up. He also stresses the importance of addressing the issue of mental health by exposing the audience to the challenges he went through including depression and social pressures. His story expressed the importance of going for help, accepting change, and putting a focus on the well-being of the individual.
