Bollywood Actor Imran Khan who has been out of the limelight for the past decade, has opened up about the minimalist lifestyle that he adopted after stepping away from showbiz. From leaving his luxurious Pali Hill bungalow to moving into an empty apartment, the actor discussed his journey of separating himself from external trappings. In an interview with Film Companion, Imran said that he moved out of his fancy bungalow in Pali Hill to an apartment in Bandra five years ago, around the time he separated from former wife Avantika Malik.
Imran said, “I started by moving into what was basically an empty space. I started bringing things into the space based on my requirements. I had a television because I like to watch movies, and I had a sofa. And then, bit by bit, I started to bring in things only based on what I actually need.” The actor continued, “I didn’t have any live-in staff; I had a person who came in every alternate day to do the heavy cleaning. But I bought myself one of those Dyson vacuum cleaners, and said, ‘I will clean myself.’ If I have only three plates, one per meal—breakfast, lunch, dinner—there’s only three plates to wash. So how big can the mess get?”
