Imran Khan on her relationship with Lekha
Earlier in an interview with Hindustan Times, Imran Khan spoke about her relationship with Lekha and gave the reason why he wanted to hide it. He said, “I have consciously tried to shield this part because of the complications of me divorcing and ending my marriage, which is always something that gets everyone... it's a very goss topic, which then leads to wild speculation”.
“I was trying to shield from that ugliness and then in the aftermath of that, starting a new relationship. The weird threads that get attached to it...I have really tried to shield that part of my life and my relationship from public scrutiny.”
Speaking about Lekha he told Hindustan Times, “Lekha has been a tremendously positive and healthy influence in my life as a person, she is caring, supportive, loving to a fault. She has been very helpful. As I've grappled with depression and rebuilding myself, the kind of nurturing and support that I've gotten from her, I don't know that I would have been able to to make this journey without her”.
Lekha Washington was previously married to journalist Pablo Chaterji, who is the son of the esteemed theatre personality Dhritiman Chaterji.
