Actor Imran Khan, a favorite among Gen Z followers, has been summoned to leave India after taking part in a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Mumbai. The Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) issued a directive for Khan to depart the country by October 28 following his arrest during the demonstration.
The actor was seen in a police van, posting a selfie with the caption "Apparently I’m going for a drive". This act of defiance won him a wave of admiration, as fans praised his humor and casual demeanor. The incident sparked a surge of support for the unpretentious and relatable star, with fans posting messages like "Simping nahi rukhni chahiye" (The simping shouldn't stop) on social media.
During the protest, Khan was seen speaking to a protester on camera, stating that true art should embody the individual artist's perspective. He emphasized that if one cannot stand by their views and pour their heart into their work, their art lacks value. Khan's sudden resurgence as a pop-culture figure was fueled by the affection of younger audiences, particularly those who admire his on-screen character Jai Rathod.
Jai, a character known for his sensitivity and refusal to resort to aggression, resonated with Gen Z, who now view him as a soft-boy icon. The actor's reemergence into the limelight came after a period of relative obscurity, following the box-office failure of Katti Batti (2015) and his divorce from Avantika Malik in 2019. Born into a prominent Bollywood family as the nephew of Aamir Khan and director-producer Mansoor Khan, Khan moved to Mumbai with his mother at a young age following his parents' divorce.
His acting career took off with the film Jaane Tu. Ya Jaane Na, which led to roles in various movies such as Kidnap (2008), Luck (2009), and romantic comedies like I Hate Luv Storys (2010), Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011), and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012). Despite some box-office disappointments, Khan's recent support for protesters showcased his ability to separate his public persona from his personal beliefs, earning him newfound appreciation from Gen Z.
