The inner world of Imran Khan : Bollywood News

Noticing my imperceptible shiver with the blast from the air conditioner, he solicitously jumps to his sock-covered feet and props himself up on his toes to tone down the room temperature. Then in a flash he is back in interrogation mode. Born in Wisconsin, America, to Nuzhat Khan (director Mansoor Khans sister) and Anil Pal, he moved to Mumbai with his mother after his parents divorce. He was a year and a half at the time. In all the schools he went to - including Bombay Scottish (Mumbai), two schools in Ooty, a nature-based gurukul in the Nilgiris, Bangalore and Fremont high school in Sunnyvale, California, he was always the new kid in school. It was really tough. I didnt grow up being considered cool or dating a lot of girls. I was into science and books and not into sports. I was always the odd one out at parties, sitting in the corner, knowing barely two or three people.

Imran admits that constantly moving from school to school made him more independent but also a bit of a loner. I dont socialise a lot and like silence. I cant be on all the time - I need occasions when I am with absolutely no one so I can reset, recharge, rejuvenate and then come back out. He has only just started to make friends in the industry - think Ranbir Kapoor - since he grew up not knowing anyone. Though fond of listening to music, he cant abide television. He actually doesnt own a TV or a cable connection. Surprising, considering that he is an obsessive movie buff and watches three to five movies a day (on his computer) and is happiest when at a movie theatre.
