BOMBAY TIMES (February 17, 2014)
It’s a few years since Imran Khan made a name for himself in showbiz. Yet, even today, when he introduces himself to people, he sees eyebrows being raised when he stretches out his hand and says, ‘Hi, I’m Imran Khan.’ The actor knows that happens perhaps because the other person called Imran Khan is the world renowned Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician.

Amused, he recounts, “For my entire life, every time I introduce myself — I get the reaction, ‘Oh, Imran Khan like the cricketer?’ And I have graciously learnt to say, ‘Yes’. But I must tell you that when I got an opportunity to meet the cricketing legend, I walked up to him and said, ‘Excuse me sir, my name is Imran Khan’ and he replied, ‘Oh, so you are the one.’ His reply left me thinking and speechless for a split second.”
