Bollywood actor Imran Khan recently shared insights into his personal struggles and his divorce from Avantika Malik in a candid interview. Now officially in a relationship with Lekha Washington, Imran discussed the challenging period during his marriage and its impact on his mental health.
In a conversation with India Today, Imran revealed that he was grappling with depression when he realized his marriage was faltering. “Without going too much into that part, because I’m hesitant to add a lot of fuel to the gossip fire, but as I was dealing with all of this baggage and my internal struggle, I did find that my marriage and my relationship were not helping any of that,” he stated.
He further elaborated on what constitutes a healthy relationship, emphasizing the importance of mutual support and personal growth. “In an ideal, healthy dynamic between two people, you are both making each other better, healthier, stronger, and supporting each other to be the healthiest, best, strongest version. We were not in that place,” Imran explained.
In an interview with Vogue in March, Imran addressed his relationship with Lekha Washington and the misconceptions surrounding it. Acknowledging their romantic involvement, he stated, “The speculation that I’m romantically involved with Lekha Washington is true. I’m divorced and have been separated since February 2019.” He vehemently refuted the “homewrecker” narrative about Lekha, calling it both misogynistic and dismissive of his own agency. “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 clarified.
Imran Khan’s openness about his personal challenges and his efforts to set the record straight highlight the complexities of relationships and the importance of mental health.
