The entertainment world was rocked when reports confirmed that actor Imran Khan has been served an official notice by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) and Mumbai Police. The notice mandates that the 43-year-old actor leave India by October 28, 2026. Authorities invoked statutory provisions under the Immigration and Foreigners Act following Khan’s brief detention during a political protest at August Kranti Maidan. Holding an American passport alongside an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, Khan now faces severe immigration scrutiny that threatens his continued stay in the country.

Addressing the massive political and legal backlash, filmmaker Kiran Rao stepped up to fiercely defend her ex-husband Aamir Khan’s nephew. Taking to her social media, Kiran slammed the Mumbai Police notice, writing: “43 years old. 40 of those years in India. Studied here. Worked here. Succeeded here. Failed here. Loved here. Fought here.” Her emotional statement quickly went viral, highlighting Khan’s lifelong roots in Mumbai despite his foreign citizenship status and raising widespread support across the film fraternity.

As the October 28 deadline looms, Imran Khan’s legal representatives are moving swiftly to challenge the departure directive. His legal team, led by senior counsel, is preparing an urgent petition in the Bombay High Court. The defense argues that OCI cardholders are not legally barred from participating in peaceful demonstrations and that the notice is disproportionately drastic. The upcoming court hearing is expected to set a major legal precedent regarding the rights of foreign-passport holders living in India.
