The 41-year-old actor went on to add that he does this consciously “rather than going off and trying to act in movies while I'm depressed.” The actor is reportedly in a live-in relationship with his girlfriend Lekha Washington. Dismissing the claims of Lekha being a homewrecker, he had stated, in an earlier interview, “There’s this narrative of Lekha being a homewrecker, which infuriates me because not only is it misogynistic, but it also takes away my agency as an individual. Lekha and I grew close during the lockdown, a year and a half after I had been separated from Avantika and almost a year after she had separated from her partner, not husband as it has been widely reported.” ALSO READ: Aamir Khan To Make A Cameo In Nephew Imran Khan’s Comeback Film Happy Patel?
