Bollywood actor Imran Khan has finally broken the silence on rumours about his separation from estranged wife Avantika Malik. Confirming his divorce, the actor also spilled the beans on his newfound love with girlfriend Lekha Washington. In an interview with Vogue, Imran said, “I’ve been out of the room for a very long time. In my absence, it has been easy to speak about me. The speculation that I’m romantically involved with Lekha Washington is true. I’m divorced and have been separated since February 2019. 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."
“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," the actor added.
