Imran Khan calls GF Lekha Washington a ‘positive influence’ in his life

If there is an actor whose comeback is desperately waited for by fans, then it has to be Imran Khan. From starting an entire movement on social media to constantly asking him about his next project, fans cannot seem to keep calm. But apart from his professional life, his personal life too interests the fans a lot.

Imran Khan on the influence GF Lekha Washington has in his life

Talking to the Hindustan Times about his relationship with Lekha Washington, Imran Khan quipped that he understands how the media works and admits that he is still bemused by the level of excitement and interest of fans in him. The Kidnap actor revealed, “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.”

Further praising Lekha, Imran said that she has been a tremendously positive and healthy influence in his life. He revealed that as a person she is caring, supportive, and loving to a fault. “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 make this journey without her,” concluded the actor.
