Imran Khan, once known as Bollywood’s chocolate boy, won many hearts with his debut film Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. While he has always kept his personal life private, the actor has now shared some emotional truths about his separation from wife Avantika Malik.
Imran and Avantika’s love story started when they were just teenagers. After dating for several years, the couple got married in 2011. They welcomed their daughter, Imara, in 2014. But things started to change, and by 2019, the couple quietly parted ways. Until now, Imran had stayed silent about the reasons behind their split.
Imran Khan Shares Why He and Avantika Malik Separated
In a heartfelt conversation with Filmfare (via BollywoodShaadi.com), Imran finally opened up about what led to the end of his marriage. He shared that he was only 19 years old when he entered the relationship and had the best intentions at the time. But as years passed, things started to feel different.
Imran explained, “I got into the relationship when I was very young. I was just 19. At that time, everything felt simple and full of hope. But when you grow older, life gets more complicated. In long-term relationships that start so early, many patterns and behaviors get fixed when you’re still teenagers. As you grow, those patterns might not grow with you. I think we weren’t helping each other become the best version of ourselves.”
The Delhi Belly actor also spoke about how his personal journey with mental health helped him understand what was missing in the relationship. It played a big role in his decision to separate from Avantika.
His Special Relationship With Daughter Imara
Even though his marriage ended, Imran says he has found peace and happiness in being a father to his daughter, Imara. He shared how much he values their bond and how he’s working hard to give her a safe and loving environment.
Talking about his daughter, he said, “Imara and I have built a very close and open relationship. I always wanted that. I want her to feel safe, to know that I’m always there for her. I also want her to feel that she can talk to me about anything without fear of being judged.”
His words touched many fans, especially those who have followed his journey from a young actor to a devoted father.
