Imran Khan wasn’t allowed to eat non-veg food in studio while shooting Kidnap, was offered AC lounge after Jaane Tu trailer dropped

Bollywood actor Imran Khan has opened up about his journey with fame. He recounted how things quickly changed for him after the release of his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’s trailer released. And this got him some newfound respect on the set of Kidnap. Imran said that while earlier he was made to sit outside if he wanted to eat non-vegetarian food, things changed after the trailer release as he was now being offered an air conditioned lounge to eat the same food.

Imran said that he had already shot for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and his second film Kidnap, even before his debut film released. He then revealed an incident during the dubbing session for Kidnap, where he found himself relegated to a plastic chair outside the studio due to his non-vegetarian meal. “At some point I had ordered non vegetarian food and they would not let me eat inside the studio. They gave me a plastic chair, put it outside where the cars are parked and I ate there,” he said.

The actor said that he spent a couple of weeks eating in the parking lot until the trailer of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was released. Imran said that things changed after that and there was a sudden shift in people’s behaviour towards him. “I step out and there is a row of these guys standing there with a tray of mutton biryani, plates, spoons, forks. They say ‘sir, why don’t you sit in the air-conditioned lounge’,” he recalled.

Thinking about the sudden change, Khan wondered if the newfound praise was real. He asked, “Now when these guys have spent three weeks making you sit on a plastic chair outside and then the next day they say sir, sir, sir, how much value do you give to this sudden outpouring of love and affection where they are falling over themselves? Do I take it seriously?”

Imran was last seen in the 2018 film Katti Batti. The actor is yet to announce his comeback film.
