Eventually, when she had to move out of the house with her daughter Imara, it was extremely difficult for Avantika. She recalled, “It was very hard. It was the worst thing I had to go through. You just don’t know anything anymore. I am very blessed that I had so many people on my corner. My friends, family and my extended family held me together until I could hold myself.”

Previously, talking about his separation, Imran Khan told Filmfare, “I entered this relationship when I was very young. I was 19, and in all good faith and good intention. But as is sometimes the case with these kinds of long-term relationships, particularly when you start at a very young age, a lot of the interpersonal dynamics and patterns get set in how you were as a teenager and as you grow, perhaps, I think all of those did not grow and evolve enough and in some way, we were not supporting or empowering each other to be the healthiest version of ourselves.”
