In the week leading up to the release of Ishq Vishk Rebound, Jibraan Khan barely slept at night. “I would be up at 5 am. It’s the best feeling ever because I have waited an eternity for this,” says the actor, who is joined by Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan and Naila Grrewal in the YA rom-com. His excitement to see himself on the big screen is understandable, although it’s not his first time. A successful child actor, he played Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s on-screen son in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G, 2001). “There was always something nudging me towards movies. My father is an actor, Firoz Khan [Arjun from BR Chopra’s Mahabharat]. From a young age, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I worked with the best in K3G and learnt so much.”
