Here`s What Imran Khan Said About Dating Lekha Washington
Who says you cannot find love again after separating from your partner? Imran Khan found love again with his girlfriend, Lekha Washington. The Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na actor confirmed dating Lekha. At the same time, he dismissed rumors that called her a `homewrecker` and the reason for Imran`s divorce from his wife, Avantika Malik.
Imran Khan has been on a long hiatus since his 2015 release, Katti Batti, co-starring Kangana Ranaut. However, the last few months have been all about him stirring up the internet with his fancy interview with Vogue and the news of him making a comeback on celluloid.
Imran`s exclusive interview with Vogue had him spill many beans on his personal life, introspecting as an actor, and growing as an artist. He went on to speak about the rumors that termed Lekha a `homewrecker.`
“The speculation that I’m romantically involved with Lekha Washington is true. I’m divorced and have been separated since February 2019,” he said to Vogue India.

Imran Khan further revealed that he grew close to his now-girlfriend during the lockdown, a year after being separated from Avantika.
“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,” he added.
Imran also addressed rumors that painted Lekha Washington a `homewrecker` and were the reason for Imran and Avantika`s separation. Calling them misogynistic, the actor said these narratives only infuriate him.
“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,” said the Luck actor.
