Imran Khan confirmed his relationship with Lekha Washington
Imran Khan, who separated from his ex-wife Avantika Malik in 2019, confirmed his relationship with Lekha earlier this month. In an interview with Vogue India said, “The speculation that I’m romantically involved with Lekha Washington is true. I’m divorced and have been separated since February 2019.”
He revealed that he and Lekha grew closer during the lockdown, about a year and a half after his separation from Avantika and nearly a year after Lekha's separation from her partner.
“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 said.
"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 told Vogue.
It's worth noting that Lekha Washington was previously married to journalist Pablo Chaterji, who happens to be the son of the esteemed theatre personality Dhritiman Chaterji.
