Imran Khan Has Quit Bollywood Confirms Actor Akshay Oberoi

The film industry can be a brutal place for everyone to survive and as we know - not many are able to sustain and have a long career. The nepotism debate continues to be the talk-of-the-town now but there are always cases which surprise one and all and that too not in the right way.

When actor Imran Khan made his debut in Bollywood over 12 years ago, he was immediately touted to be the next big thing and had an amazing career ahead. The next thing we know, he went on to have a decent career ahead for a few years.

However, ever since his films started flopping, he did not get any other projects and haven't starred in a film for a while now. And it can be confirmed that Khan has indeed quit acting. Actor Akshay Oberoi, during his Facebook session with Navbharat Times was quizzed about who is his best friend in Bollywood, to which he instantly replied and took Imran Khan’s name. They have been friends for the past 18 years and him quiting the industry was sealed by him.

Oberoi said, “My best friend in Bollywood is Imran Khan, who is no longer an actor because he has quit acting. Imran is my best friend and close friend, whom I can get up at 4 am and call. Me and Imran have been with each other for almost 18 years, we studied acting together at Kishore Acting School in Andheri West.” When asked if after quitting acting, will he take up direction or writing, Akshay mentioned the next choice totally depends upon Imran.

He said, “See, Imran Khan has left acting at the moment. As far as I know, there is a better writer and director inside Imran, I do not know when he will direct his film himself, I am not going to put any pressure, but as a friend, I think so he will direct his film soon. Also, when Imran directs, I know he will make a wonderful film because his sensibility and understanding of cinema is very high.”

On a concluding note, Oberoi praised Khan for revealing that acting is not his cup of tea without hiding it and routing himself to direction and writing, which he is more passionate about.
