Imran Khan and

Avantika Malik

got married in 2011 and then parted ways in 2019. The couple have a daughter together. In a recent interview, Avantika has opened up on how she felt while divorcing the actor and it was not easy. She said that more than anything, she felt like she was just disappointing everyone as people thought they were this '

golden couple

'.
Opening up on the divorce, Avantika said in a chat with Janice Sequira, "It was more than this golden perfect couple and their fall from grace. These two, who were so in love, always together and so happy and made it work through thick and thin and all, they threw it in the town. You know what I am trying to say. I felt that I had disappointed everybody in my life. Again, not from the perspective of divorce is bad, not because of the 'D' word but more because arey if you guys couldn't make it work matlab yeh toh problem hi hai."
Further explaining the reason for their divorce, Avantika said, "It’s just two people growing apart, it’s not the worst thing in the world. I would feel that if my marriage broke, I would die. I felt that I would not survive one day without this guy. I was convinced that I will die. The day we decided that this is it, I wept like there had been a death in the immediate family. I was petrified, because I was also not earning at that time. I’m aware that I come from a lot of privilege and that I will not be on the road.”
