Bollywood actor and Aamir Khan's nephew, Imran Khan, has landed in a fresh controversy after Mumbai Police reportedly issued a notice asking him to leave the country. The directive follows his participation in a political protest, giving Mumbai Police until October 28 to leave India. The unexpected order has drawn mixed reactions from the film industry and the public alike.
