During a recent conversation with Vogue India, Imran Khan, who always remained protective of his privacy, opened up about his personal life. In 2019, the news of his marriage going through a rough patch made it to the headlines, and a lot was written about him. Reacting to the same, the actor said it was easy to speak about him in his absence.

He continued by confirming his relationship with Lekha Washington and his divorce from Avantika since February 2019. “The speculation that I’m romantically involved with Lekha Washington is true. I’m divorced and have been separated since February 2019,” he was quoted as saying.

In addition to this, he also went on to address the allegations and narrative being drawn about his partner being a ‘homewrecker.’ The actor expressed his anger over the same and shared that his and Lekha’s romance blossomed during the lockdown, almost a year after he was separated from his wife.

“There’s this narrative of Lekha being a homewrecker, which infuriates me because not only is it misogynistic, but it also takes away my agency as an individual,” he said.

He further laid out the timeline of his romance by sharing, “Lekha and I grew close during the lockdown, a year and a half after I had been separated from Avantika and almost a year after she had separated from her partner, not husband as it has been widely reported.”

It is worth stating that despite making several public appearances together, Imran and Lekha never talked about their relationship. This is the first time the actor has cleared all the air around the rumors about his personal life. Earlier this year, Imran and Lekha had also attended Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan’s wedding with Nupur Shikhare.
