Actor Imran Khan tied the knot with Avantika Malik in 2011. However, the duo parted ways in 2019. Recently, Avantika opened up about how the period of her divorce was a challenging time in her life in a cryptic Instagram post. Without directly mentioning Imran Khan or their divorce, she revealed that the year 2019 “broke her”.
On Friday, Avantika shared a heartfelt post on her Instagram account about forgiving people and showing up. It read, “The truth is, the number of days we have here is actually not so large. So if you have the opportunity to wake up tomorrow, to let this world age you, weather you, and meet you where you are for even just one more golden minute, I hope you show up for it. Do as much as you possibly can with your time here. Risk your heart. Express.”
Her post further read, “Take care of others, leaving them better than you found them. Give yourself permission to take up space. Be all that you are. Love the way you hope to love, and love people on purpose, with depth and intention. Keep rescuing those younger parts of yourself. Forgive. Put every ounce of your patchwork soul into this world, crack tenderness into all of its dark corners. Stay soft, stay curious, but most importantly just hold on to your hope. Hold on to your hope.”
In the caption of her post, Avantika Malik penned her thoughts after meeting a couple of friends that she last met in 2019. She wrote, “The last time they saw me in the flesh was 2019, the year I broke and unraveled… And then they saw me now. And they both had the same things to say… That they finally see me being authentic, the real me. And the joy they see that brings to my eyes, a glow to my face… and I knew they were telling me the truth. But the best thing they said to me was that I was ‘living.'”

The actor added that her friends’ observations made her think how she arrived at this point in her life. “I know it’s because somehow, shockingly, I always chose hope. In the darkest, bleakest moments (and there were a few), I reminded myself that if all I do is focus on putting out the love within me, the universe will generously reflect that back to me. What is within is without,” she wrote.
