Talking about what he has been up to nowadays, Khan confirmed to Pinkvila in an interview, "Actually, I assisted on Brashmastra for almost two years and that is done now. As an actor, the real struggle has just begun to find a good film. What is being offered is not the best, I can say that. I am searching, I am testing, I am auditioning, I am trying to network. It is not as easy as people think."

Before his confirmation, DNA had reported in 2017 that the young lad had been roped in for Ayan Mukerji-directed 'Brahmastra'. While Jibraan, born to Mahabharat's 'Arjun', is best remembered for his role in Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol's 'K3G', he has featured in other movies too. Can you guess which?

Jibraan is best remembered for playing the role of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's onscreen son in Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

Jibraan had also worked in movies like Rishtey, Kyunki Main Jhooth Nahin Bolta, Bade Dilwala and Vishnu Puran.

Jibraan Khan is the son of Mahbharata's Arjun aka Firoz Khan. He was part of the original Mahabharat, directed by BR Chopra, which featured on Television in the 80s. Co-incidentally Firoz Khan is also called Firoz 'Arjun' Khan.

DNA was the first to confirm that Jibraan is part of Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra' featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. A source had revealed in 2017, "Jibraan has been roped in by Karan Johar as a chief Assistant Director (AD) for Dharma’s biggest film till date. Jibraan will now work on Ayan Mukerji’s 'Brahmastra', which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles. He has already started working with the team."

In his interview with Pinkvilla, the actor also spoke about being recognised as Krish (his character from K3G) even now. He stated, "Yes, I won't lie about that. It does happen. I think the respect I get during auditions, is because of the work I have done in the past, and from all of that K3G comes out the best. Wherever I go, it is still the patent question, how was it working on K3G. I don't get bored answering it, but I think it is high time I need a new identity."
