In an interview with ''[[The Times of India]]'' he talks about his early influence of cinema:
{{quotebox|align = left|width=25em|My parents were still in Patna but I, along with my brother Arif, joined mid-term and stayed with my aunt at Karim Mansion (an old well-known building in Jamshedpur, where they had three cinema theatres, two of which were attached to the house). Even when I went to sleep, I had the sound of cinema in the background and since we lived there, I could go there whenever I wanted even though I was not allowed to. I had made friends with the projectionist and would see him changing reels and call him from his bidi break if the reel stopped in between. I was not studying and I failed. I was so self-conscious after that and for the first three days, I could just not go back to school. This whole embarrassment of failing and craning my neck down and avoiding my friends who had become my seniors, was difficult. Even though I had failed, my father never made me feel worse and was only there to always encourage me. It’s after that, that I started applying myself and excelled in studies and sports and started doing theatre.<ref>{{cite news |work=The Times of India |title=I was an underachiever who lied to look better: Imtiaz Ali |first=Priya |last=Gupta |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/I-was-an-underachiever-who-lied-to-look-betterImtiaz-Ali/articleshow/20014020.cms |date=13 May 2013 |access-date=19 June 2018}}</ref>}} 
He attended [[Hindu College, University of Delhi]], where he took part in college theater. He was very successful in college.
