Imran's grandfather was a Bengali from Kolkata who married a British woman. Imran's father is an Anglo-Indian of Bengali Hindu descent who studied with Mansoor Khan at IIT Bombay and now works as a senior manager at Yahoo in California .
Imran's mother is a Muslim of Pashtun and Arab descent from a film family, daughter of the director-producer Nasir Hussain , sister of director-producer Mansoor Khan and cousin of actor Aamir Khan .

After a period of depression in Coonoor, Khan adjusted and grew into the environment; he later described his experience there as "phenomenal," although his grades remained poor. When the principal of that school left to start his own school, Khan and several other students followed him to a Gurukul in the jungles of Ooty .
