Bollywood actor, Imran Khan will always be remembered as the charming romantic lead in films like ‘Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na’, ‘I Hate Luv Stories’ and ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’. But away from the silver screen, the actor says one person has had the biggest influence on the choices he makes today, his daughter, Amara.In an interview with Malini Agarwal on Not Done Yet, Imran was asked a question that many parents are finally thinking about. When the host asked how he would feel if his daughter grew up and decided to date someone like him, Imran’s answer revealed how much fatherhood has shaped his outlook on life.“In a way, I think that’s what informs my life choices. It’s okay. You know, these role models of our parents. Yes, it’s all the stuff inside the baby. Yes, for sure. And it’s actually thinking about something like that that drives me to try to be the best version of myself.”Instead of giving a straight answer, the actress used the question to explain how being a parent has made her more aware of her own behaviors, habits and emotional patterns.
Imran Khan on learning from the past
Imran touched on a topic he has frequently addressed in recent years: self-awareness. The actress has often spoken about therapy, personal growth and understanding how childhood experiences continue to affect adult relationships.According to him, many of the patterns that people carry in their lives are picked up from what they saw growing up. Being a parent, however, creates a new level of responsibility, as children often learn more from observation than from instruction. For Imran, this awareness has become the driving force behind his efforts to evolve as a person.
Fatherhood changed his priorities
The actor has largely stayed out of the limelight in recent years, choosing to focus on family and personal well-being. During this journey, he says that his daughter has remained at the center of decision-making. Rather than measuring success by career milestones or public perception, Imran sees many of his choices through a simpler lens: whether they set the right example for Amar.Her answer suggests that the idea of her daughter one day choosing a partner with similar characteristics to her own has become an unexpected source of motivation, pushing her to constantly improve.
