Lekha Washington Makes It Insta Official

On May 16, Lekha posted their first picture together on her Instagram. The photo captures a tender moment between the couple. She shared the image on her Instagram Stories without any caption, letting the picture speak for itself.

Actor Imran Khan recently confirmed his relationship with Lekha Washington in an interview with Vogue, putting an end to speculations surrounding their romance. Addressing the rumours, Khan stated, "The speculation that I'm romantically involved with Lekha Washington is true. I'm divorced and have been separated since February 2019." Khan was previously married to Avantika Malik, with whom he shares a daughter named Imara.

In the candid interview, Khan also took the opportunity to address the unfair narrative surrounding Lekha, rejecting claims that she played a role in the dissolution of his previous marriage. He 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 And Lekha's Relationship Story

Imran shed light on the timeline of his relationship with Lekha, revealing that their bond deepened during the lockdown period, approximately a year and a half after his separation from Avantika and nearly a year after Lekha's own separation from her partner. Khan clarified, "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."

After an eight-year hiatus since his last movie, Katti Batti, Imran Khan has resurfaced, sparking immense excitement among his fans. The actor has confirmed his return to films, a revelation his devoted fan base eagerly awaits. 

Additionally, Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan notably attended his daughter Ira Khan's wedding alongside his girlfriend, Lekha Washington. At the Mehendi festivities, Imran Khan joined the bride's group in Udaipur. Zayn Marie, Ira Khan's cousin, joined the duo in the photo, and all three donned floral crowns crafted from white flowers.
