Imran on his relationship with Lekha

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Imran opened up about how he started dating Lekha, admitting he was trying hard to hide it. He said, “I 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”.

“I was trying to shield from that ugliness and then in the aftermath of that, starting a new relationship. The weird threads that get attached to it...I have really tried to shield that part of my life and my relationship from public scrutiny,” he further shared, adding, “Lekha has been a tremendously positive and healthy influence in my life as a person, she is caring, supportive, loving to a fault. She has been very helpful. 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 to make this journey without her”.

There are reports that the couple has rented a house together in Mumbai. As per Money Control, Imran and Lekha have leased the apartment in the Bandra area of the city from director Karan Johar. The rent of the apartment is ₹9 lakh per month.
