"You know, there are some of his 90s films that have not aged well, and when you look at them through a modern lens, are kind of problematic, and there are moments that are quite uncomfortable."

Speaking about his relationship with his uncle in his previous interviews, Imran praised Aamir about his ability to work tirelessly and be a busy man, because of which he cannot share his struggles with him.

"For the closeness and the consideration that I have for Aamir, he’s a very busy guy. So, we would meet infrequently, he would be eyeball-deep in three films. So, the conversations wouldn’t quite have the chance to get there. Life is such. It was ultimately my mom who was able to help me," he said.

"I grew up in a house with Aamir, my other uncle Mansoor, both of whom were very influential figures. As a young man, learning about masculinity, I certainly took a lot of cues from both of them, " Imran remarked.

Speaking further about Aamir's tenacity, Imran said that the "Perfectionist" actor has a great sense of conviction and fearlessness.

Imran Khan is known to have appeared in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na', 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.' He last appeared on a big screen in 2015 in 'Katti Batti.'
