Imran Khan attends 25 years of Aamir Khan's 'Lagaan' celebration with ladylove Lekha Washington
Mumbai, June 14
Aamir Khan's nephew, actor Imran Khan, attended the 25-year celebration of Mr Perfectionist's iconic movie 'Lagaan' on Saturday with his ladylove, Lekha Washington.
The 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na' actor looked all handsome in a black pantsuit with a white shirt and bow tie. Lekha Washington accompanied him in a yellow saree, paired with a blue sleeveless blouse.
Imran Khan is believed to have gotten into a relationship with actress and model Lekha Washington in 2020, following his divorce from Avantika Malik in 2019. Imran Khan and Avantika also have a daughter together named Imara.
Although the two had known one another for a long time, moving in the same social circles, they came close during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Back in 2024, Imran Khan and Lekha Washington garnered a lot of eyeballs as the latter was spotted with the 'Delhi Belly' actor at a get-together.
In the meantime, Imran Khan was recently hosted by actress Parineeti Chopra on her podcast "Mom Talks" where he opened up about his fatherhood journey.
Speaking to Parineeti, Imran Khan said that for him, parenting has never been an obligation, but has always been a privilege.
He was heard saying, "I did not view it as my duty; I always saw it as my privilege. The time I spent with my child is something I wanted for myself. It's not about fulfilling a role but about experiencing joy, love, and connection."
He went on to add that parenting should never be viewed through the lens of gender.
Coming back to 'Lagaan', the makers celebrated the 25th anniversary of the iconic film in Mumbai on Saturday. The event was attended by many bigwigs from the industry, such as Salman Khan, Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Mukesh Chhabra, Richa Chadha, and Ali Fazal, to name a few.

Imran Khan's comment about parenting being a privilege not a duty is actually quite progressive for Bollywood. Glad to see him stepping away from typical gender stereotypes. Hope his relationship with Lekha works out well this time.
Honestly, I feel bad for Avantika. They had a daughter and then things fell apart. But Imran seems to be a good father at least. Lekha and him look cute together, all the best to them! Lagaan is still the best sports film India has ever made hands down 🌟
I hope Imran makes a comeback in films. He was super talented in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Delhi Belly. But honestly, the 'relationship' angle is getting too much media coverage - let the man live his life. Lagaan celebration was epic though, Salman Khan showing up was unexpected!
Cute couple! Lekha's saree and blouse combo is very creative - yellow with blue accents. Aamir Khan's Lagaan truly defined a generation. I still remember watching it in 2001 with my family in the theatre! Great to see it getting its due recognition.
Imran's perspective on parenting is refreshing. So many dads in India still think child rearing is only the mother's job. Hope more people listen to this! And yes, Lekha and Imran make a stylish pair 😊 Lagaan forever!
