Housing challenges
Khan's struggle with housing due to religion and profession
Khan also spoke about his struggles to find a house in Mumbai, saying that both his religion and profession make it difficult. "For me, there's an added layer of weirdness. Sometimes people don't want film professionals in their building." "I am a Muslim, even though I don't identify as one, and an actor as well," he said on the show. Meanwhile, after a long hiatus, Khan is set to return to the big screen with Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos.
