Imran Khan, the Indian actor and filmmaker, has candidly shared the emotional difficulties of being a single father, particularly highlighting the lack of support that single fathers often face. While discussing his experiences co-parenting his daughter Imara with ex-wife Avantika Malik, he pointed out that many parents are hesitant to send their children to his home for playdates due to his solitary living situation. He emphasized that women typically build strong emotional support networks, while men are often conditioned to suppress their vulnerabilities. Khan remarked that societal expectations promote a restrictive version of masculinity that discourages open discussions about emotional struggles. He reflected on how women often have multiple close friendships that provide emotional support, a resource that single fathers frequently lack. Imran Khan and Avantika Malik, who began dating as teenagers, married in 2011 and welcomed their daughter in 2013, but they finalized their divorce in 2019. Currently, Imran is reportedly dating Lekha Washington, with whom he began a relationship in 2020.
