Not only did he watch his daughter, Imara Malik Khan, grow up and be ready to enter her teenage years now, but Imran also parted ways with his wife, Avantika Malik. He then entered into a relationship with actor Lekha Washington. Thus, his life has been a massive rollercoaster ride over the past decade.
