MUMBAI: Jibraan Khan faced the same obstacles as any other young actor when trying to break into Bollywood, despite his remarkable performance as a child actor in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Being the son of renowned veteran actor Firoz Khan didn't give him any advantages. Jibraan had to show his worth by contacting directors and looking for chances, which finally resulted in his most recent Bollywood debut.

The 30-year-old Khan stated that he doesn't identify with "that world" and that his route to celebrity has differed greatly from other star kids'. Looking back on his difficult journey to make his debut, he told the popular news portal, “If it were that easy, I would have been launched years ago. With K3G approaching its 25th anniversary in two years, it’s clear how much time has passed. I believe the industry is segmented, and I belong to a part where such connections aren’t a given.”
He continued, “I remember that, this incident had happened once where I was a frustrated 20 year old and then I told him, take me somewhere, you have worked with all the big names, people know you, you are respected and relevant, so what’s the matter. He said, Jibraan you tell me, I will take you and they turn around and say ‘Firoz Bhai he doesn’t look like an actor. How would that feel?’ and I think that was a very big turning point in my life.”
The newcomer is thrilled to be landing a leading role in films, but he still wants to hold onto the fame he gained from playing Shah Rukh Khan's kid in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, “Till date I am known as Krish Raichand. It is part of my identity and there were times in my life where I used to think that I really need to break out from this, people only put me in that category. But over the years I started looking at it like a positive because I questioned myself that why am I running away from an identity that is only giving me love. There was a time when I started believing in this character as a blessing. Even today, wherever I go in the world, people know K3G as a big Indian celebration. That K3G boy has now evolved into Sahir but Krish is going to be my identity till I am on this planet,” he concluded.
Recently, Jibraan Khan won over hearts in the latest movie, Ishq Vishk Rebound, as Sahir. Pashmina Roshan, Naila Grewal, and Rohit Saraf also starred in the movie. Ramesh Taurani produces the film under the banner of Tips Films Limited, which is directed by Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari.
