Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently met Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray at his residence, Shivtirth, in Mumbai. The meeting attracted considerable attention because it came amid a legal controversy involving Aamir’s nephew, actor Imran Khan, who has challenged a notice directing him to leave India.
Aamir reportedly visited Shivtirth on Sunday, October 18, accompanied by his partner, Gauri Spratt. The meeting generated speculation about whether the actor had discussed his nephew’s legal situation with the political leader.
However, the MNS subsequently clarified that Aamir’s visit had nothing to do with Imran Khan’s case. Neither the timing of the meeting nor the identities of those present should be taken as evidence of a connection between the two developments.
Aamir and Raj have known each other for years and have shared a cordial relationship. The exact purpose of their latest meeting has not been publicly detailed.
Why Is Imran Khan Facing a ‘Leave India’ Notice?
The controversy surrounding Imran Khan began after he participated in a protest in Mumbai on October 10, 2026.
Imran, who holds US citizenship and an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) registration, reportedly attended a demonstration organised by Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) at August Kranti Maidan. The protest called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Imran and his girlfriend, Lekha Washington, were reportedly detained during the demonstration. His participation subsequently attracted political attention, and former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya sought an inquiry into the matter.
The Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in Mumbai later issued Imran a notice directing him to leave India by October 28, 2026. The notice reportedly concerned alleged violations of immigration law linked to his participation in the protest.
The development has placed the actor’s immigration status and his legal rights as an OCI cardholder under scrutiny.
Imran Khan Moves Bombay High Court
Challenging the FRRO notice, Imran Khan approached the Bombay High Court on October 17, 2026.
In his petition, the actor reportedly described the notice as arbitrary and unjustified, arguing that it was issued without giving him an opportunity to present his side. He has sought legal relief against the direction to leave the country.
Imran has also highlighted his longstanding connection with India. According to reports, he has lived in the country since he was approximately two years old and has cited his education, professional career and family ties as part of his case.
His petition challenges the legality of the notice, and the matter remains subject to judicial consideration. The filing of the petition does not itself determine the outcome of the dispute.
The case has attracted attention because it involves questions surrounding immigration rules, OCI status and the participation of foreign nationals in political demonstrations.
MNS Clarifies Aamir Khan’s Meeting Was Unrelated
The timing of Aamir Khan’s visit to Shivtirth led to speculation that he might have sought Raj Thackeray’s assistance or discussed Imran’s legal challenge.
However, the MNS clarified that the meeting was not connected to the actor’s nephew or his immigration case.
This clarification is important because no confirmed information establishes that the two men discussed the FRRO notice, the Bombay High Court petition or the protest.
Aamir and Raj have previously met on social occasions, and their longstanding acquaintance provides a possible explanation for the visit without requiring a connection to the ongoing controversy.
Until either party shares further details, the specific subjects discussed during the meeting remain undisclosed.
Who Is Imran Khan, Aamir Khan’s Nephew?
Imran Khan is an actor best known for films such as Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, I Hate Luv Storys and Delhi Belly. He became a popular face in Hindi cinema before stepping away from regular film appearances.
The actor has recently returned to public attention, partly because of his personal and professional developments and now the legal dispute surrounding his immigration status.
His participation in the October 10 protest brought him into a political controversy that has since moved to the courts.
The legal proceedings will determine how his challenge to the FRRO notice is considered. Until a decision is reached, the allegations and arguments made by the parties should be distinguished from any final judicial findings.
What Happens Next?
The immediate focus remains on Imran Khan’s legal challenge to the notice directing him to leave India by October 28, 2026. The Bombay High Court proceedings could clarify the next steps in the matter.
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan’s meeting with Raj Thackeray has drawn attention because of its timing, but the MNS has expressly denied a connection to Imran’s case.
For now, the two developments should be treated separately: Imran’s immigration dispute is before the court, while the purpose of Aamir’s visit to Shivtirth has not been publicly disclosed.
