Imran Khan recently expressed his thoughts on Bollywood films from the 90s that haven’t necessarily stood the test of time.

Imran Khan Calls Aamir Khan’s Raja Hindustani Uncomfortable To Watch

The Break Ke Baad actor shared some insights during a recent interview with Filmfare. Khan reflected on his career and experiences watching films while growing up. He noted that many examples from that era wouldn’t resonate well today. Imran said, “There are some of his 90s films that have not aged well, and when you look at them through a modern lens, they are kind of problematic. There are moments that are quite uncomfortable. Raja Hindustani, which was a staggering hit, is very uncomfortable to watch. You look at it and you go, ‘This is wrong; we are not supposed to…’ so there are a fair amount of 90s films that are uncomfortable by today’s measures.”

About Raja Hindustani

Raja Hindustani was directed by Dharmesh Darshan and released in 1996. It featured Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor in a love story. It is about a cab driver who falls in love with a wealthy woman. The film was a monumental success in the 90s.

Imran Khan On Aamir Khan’s Role In His Life

Throughout the interview, Imran also noted that he has always admired Aamir, both in a personal and professional capacity. “I am tremendously led by him. Through life, whenever I am facing a dilemma, I think, ‘What would Aamir do?’ I may not exactly approach it in the same way as him; a lot of our methodologies and beliefs are different, but at its core, he has always been driven by integrity and authenticity. Your guiding principle must come from what is morally justifiable and then what is the most truthful and most authentic way that we can render this story. Those are kind of the core guiding principles which I have learnt from him, which I still adhere to.”
