Imran
Khan's
Girlfriend
Lekha
Washington:
Imran
Khan,
previously
speculated
to
be
in
a
relationship
with
Lekha
Washington,
recently
confirmed
their
relationship
in
an
interview
with
Vogue.
Imran
Khan
stated,
"The
speculation
that
I'm
romantically
involved
with
Lekha
Washington
is
true.
I'm
divorced
and
have
been
separated
since
February
2019." Notably,
Khan
was
previously
married
to
Avantika
Malik,
with
whom
he
shares
a
daughter,
Imara.
Addressing
the
narrative
surrounding
Lekha
as
a
"homewrecker,"
Khan
expressed
his
frustration,
stating,
"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."
Imran
further
stated,
discussing
his
closeness
with
Lekha
and
the
development
of
their
relationship,
'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.
