When Imran was very young, his parents divorced, and his mother moved to Mumbai with him. In an interview, Imran stated that his stepfather,Raj Zutshi,was a father figure in his life. He attended Bombay Scottish School, but the new environment and changed family circumstances left him feeling uneasy. During this period, he developed a stutter, his academics deteriorated, and he began to suffer from mental stress.

Later, his mother sent him to the Blue Mountain School in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu. Initially, he experienced depression there, but gradually recovered. He then attended a Gurukul-like school in the forests of Ooty, where there was no electricity or modern amenities. Students washed their own clothes and even grew some of their own food. Imran later admitted that changing schools frequently made him self-reliant, but also led to a certain loneliness.
