You might still remember Imran Khan. No, not the politician (who loves rubbing lentils on himself (don’t google that)) but the actor or should we say ex-actor who also happens to be Aamir Khan’s nephew. So after taking a step back since he lost interest in doing films, Imran has finally been spotted at a public event where the paps got him and his girlfriend, Lekha Washington.
Since 2021, there have been rumours of Lekha and Imran being involved. Imran and his ex-wife Avantika separated in 2019. Many have assumed that it was Imran’s career that created issues in their marriage, but it seems Avantika was already heartbroken when she left Imran’s house with their daughter to move into her mother’s place. After starting what seemed like a successful streak in Bollywood, Imran pulled out all the stops to renovate his grandfather Nasir Hussain’s bungalow in Pali Hill in 2012. Married in 2011, the couple have an 8-year-old daughter.
OK, that’s not even the awkward part, so here goes. Avantika and Imran + Lekha and her husband Pablo were friends for years. Lekha and Avantika used to comment on each other’s social media posts and even used to wish each other for birthdays and stuff.
This is why Avantika was bummed for quite a long time after their separation. It seemed it took her time to finally accept Imran and Lekha are together and he’s not coming back. No one knows for sure when Lekha and Imran happened but they all said it was all hush-hush in the beginning and when the cat came out of the bag, both spouses were shocked!
Obviously, who would want to be living ‘Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna’ in real life?
Lekha is an actress and an artist as well. Here’s an interesting photoshoot she did with her then-husband before their KANK-inspired story took over.
As for Imran, he has quit acting, but he was supposed to turn director and that was years ago. We don’t get news anymore on him, since his family has been private on that end. They have accepted Lekha for quite a while now, they attended family events together but take care not to have their pictures taken together. The Khan family are quite modern, they even accepted Chotimaa.
Maybe there’s no pressure for him to get out there and make a career for himself…Or maybe he already is, but on the down low.
Maybe now that Avantika has allegedly moved on, Imran and Lekha feel confident coming out in public.
By the way, remember when there was a blind item about him indicating that a young married star who swings the other way and is in a relationship with his wife’s brother which is why the brother accompanies them on trips? That was back then when the brother was single. Truth is out now! The brother too has gotten married, and his wife is expecting.
Come to think of it now, maybe Imran’s Bollywood colleague Raymond (you-know-who) was feeling extra naughty that day!
