Imran Khan has opened up about the reason why he separated from ex-wife Avantika Malik. In a new interview with India Today, the actor shared that he does not want to add anything more to fuel more gossip to the matter but he was ‘dealing’ with internal struggle and that did not help in sustaining his relationship.

What Imran said

In the interview, Imran said, “Without going too much into that part, because I'm hesitant to add a lot of fuel to the gossip fire, but as I was dealing with all of this baggage and all my internal struggle, I did find that my marriage and my relationship were not helping any of that.”

He further continued, “In an ideal, healthy dynamic between two people, you are both making each other better, healthier, stronger, and supporting each other to be the healthiest, best, strongest version. We were not in that place.”
