In his interview with Humans of Bombay, Imran revealed that he had been shamed for being skinny, highlighting the double standards that exist in how men and women are judged based on their appearance. “The world looks at women and men in a certain way.It is easier for women to call it out,” he expressed.
The actor shared his journey of trying to achieve a certain physique by spending hours in the gym and even resorting to taking steroids. However, he realized that this external pressure was taking a toll on his mental and physical well-being.

“The results are great but the sad things happen when you stop taking them. Because you feel depressed that you don’t have the same body, and I am skinny again. It was all about external pressure. You have to have a conversation with yourself,” he admitted.
Imran also reflected on his battle with depression and how he started feeling complete only last year. The attention on him and the expectation to constantly respond to public curiosity about his life weighed heavily on him. “I felt pressured to stick my head out and show up. The whole process was deeply emotional for me,” he confessed.
