Imran explained that the decision to divorce was made because he and Avantika weren’t helping each other become their best selves anymore.
The actor discussed how long-term relationships can sometimes lead to unhealthy patterns, which was the case with his marriage to Avantika. He admitted that their decision to separate was incredibly painful but necessary for both of them to grow stronger and healthier. He believes there’s nothing wrong with changing the status of a relationship if it helps both individuals thrive. Imran reflected on the traditional notion of two people binding themselves together for life, saying it only works if they’re genuinely happy and uplifting each other.
