After his daughter's birth, Imran Khan decided to fix himself and be the 'healthiest' and 'strongest' version of himself for her. Imran was quoted as saying:
"I hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside. Luckily, I was working in an industry that had rewarded me financially, so by the time I was 30, I didn't have to worry about money. At that point, it wasn't my career because I wasn't excited by it enough to want to work hard for it. I had recently become a father and thought, ‘This is valuable. This is something I take seriously.' I wanted to be the best version of myself for Imara. I decided it was no longer my job to be an actor. Now, I had to fix myself; be at my healthiest and strongest for my daughter."
The Vogue further reported that Imran incorporated many changes in his lifestyle. He moved out of his lavish Pali Hill bungalow and shiftedton an apartment in Bandra,Mumbaii.
