Recently, Imran Khan spoke openly about being a single fatherhood. The actor explained that life as a single father isn't easy and that he often faces societal pressures.
Imran said that some parents hesitate to send their children to his house for playdates because he lives alone. He admitted that this experience can sometimes be quite lonely.
The actor also discussed co-parenting his daughter, Imara, and his relationship with his ex-wife, Avantika Malik. He said that single fathers often don't have the same emotional support system as women.
According to Imran, women openly share their feelings with their friends, but men are taught from childhood that they must appear strong and not reveal their weaknesses.
He said, "Society has created a fixed idea of masculinity for men, where emotions and vulnerabilities are not openly discussed. This is why many men struggle internally."
Imran Khan and Avantika Malik's love story is quite old. The two began dating as teenagers. They got engaged in 2010 and married in 2011. Their daughter, Imara, was born in 2013. However, news of their separation surfaced in 2019, and they later divorced.
According to reports, Imran Khan is currently dating Lekha Washington. It's said that their closeness grew in 2020 because they were part of the same social circle.
