"You make me feel 304.8 cm tall," wrote Imran Khan in the caption
Katti Batti star Imran Khan, who recently gained traction after responding to a fan's comment regarding his Bollywood comeback, has been active on social media more than ever before. In his latest post however, the actor spoke about being so acquainted with negative responses so much that he felt people saying good things to him was a bit "weird." On Tuesday, Imran Khan posted a picture of himself from a previous photoshoot. In the caption, the actor while expressing gratitude to his fans wrote, "Sorry about the silence... when you've lived so long in darkness, the sunshine can feel unbearably bright at first. I've been flooded with so many message of love, support, and encouragement that it felt weird. Unnatural. I couldn't absorb that much positivity, so instead I went looking for the ugly words, the hurtful ones that sound more like the Voice in my head, because that feels more familiar to me. I checked reddit (still reliable), the comments sections of news articles, wherever I could find words sharp enough to cut myself with."
Imran Khan continued, "And then a funny thing happened. There I was, poking and slicing away trying to feel 'normal', but somehow the edges of the words seemed less sharp... the tips less pointy. They weren't drawing blood the way they used to. They just didn't work anymore. And I think I know why."
The Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na actor signed off by saying, "We all have scars, old wounds that still ache. But love heals. Love is empowering and uplifitng, and if you are fortunate enough to receive the kind of love that I have, I think it starts to fill in those scars. It covers you in a layer of protective armor. You may never fully grasp the extent to which your love empowers me, but know that I am grateful. You make me feel 304.8 cm tall."
