NEET protest: Imran Khan on fellow actors who prefer to remain apolitical, “If you do not pour your heart into your art, your art has no value”

Addressing the role of art and personal conviction, Imran told aspiring actor Riya Jana who shared the video on her Instagram page, “True art is going to have an individual artist’s point of view embedded within it.

If you can’t stand by your opinions and if you do not pour your own heart into your art, your art has no value.”
