I've never had it easy: Imran Khan

Contrary to what people generally believe, actor Imran Khan admits that he never had it easy trying to get a foothold in the industry as an actor, this, despite coming from an illustrious filmy background.

"Not many people know this by my debut film "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" sat in the cans for almost one and half years. I finished shooting for the film, completed " Kidnap" and "Jaane Tu..." still hadn't released. The same happened with " Delhi Belly" too. The movie sat in the cans for three years, with no one willing to buy it. That both films finally released and created quite a buzz is a different story altogether," confesses the star.

Now that the actor has consolidated his position in the industry, he still does not take his work or stardom for granted. "Many have asked me if I chose my roles, for example like in "Delhi Belly", in a bid to shock the audience. Let me tell you, it's not true. If you try to go out there and do something to shock the audience without even giving the script a second thought, trust me the audience will shock you by rejecting the film. I've never accept a role just because I think it's 'hatke'. I have to believe in the script," quips Imran.
