Avantika: Imran initiated our breakup
25 Oct
Summary
- Avantika revealed Imran Khan initiated their separation.
- She noted unrealistic expectations damaged their relationship.
- Their marriage ended not due to one event but gradual changes.
Avantika Malik has disclosed that actor Imran Khan initiated their separation, a decision she would not have made herself. She shared that the couple initially separated for six months before mutually agreeing to divorce.
Reflecting on the end of their nearly 18-year relationship, Malik stated the separation represented the "death of the way you perceived your life would be." She attributed relationship strain to unrealistic expectations, noting that individuals should not rely on partners for their own happiness.
The divorce, finalized in 2019, was not the result of a single argument but a culmination of years together and evolving needs. Imran Khan moved into a separate residence in 2018 and has since prioritized co-parenting their daughter.
Khan has since been in a relationship with actress Lekha Washington and reportedly moved in together in 2024. His last lead role was in the 2015 film 'Katti Batti'.
