During the interview, Imran said, “Without going too much into that part, because I'm hesitant to add a lot of fuel to the gossip fire, but as I was dealing with all of this baggage and all my internal struggle, I did find that my marriage and my relationship were not helping any of that.”

He further continued, “In an ideal, healthy dynamic between two people, you are both making each other better, healthier, stronger, and supporting each other to be the healthiest, best, strongest version. We were not in that place.”

Imran and Avantika's relationship

Avantika tied the knot with Imran in 2011, and they have a daughter named Imara. Rumors of their separation began circulating around 2019, although neither Imran nor Avantika publicly commented on it at the time. Avantika, however, hinted at the separation through her social media posts. In 2021, she shared a post about feeling 'stuck' and finding comfort in the 'darkest nights.' Last year, it was reported that Imran and Avantika had decided to go their separate ways.
