He was asked how he faced the stigma and shame that is linked with a divorce. Imran said that divorce was a choice he and Avantika made because they were not happy nor empowering each other. Despite the difficulty, it has made him strong and healthy. He was quoted as saying:
"It was, ultimately, a choice that I made because I understood that we were in a place where we weren't enabling and empowering each other to be the strongest and best versions of ourselves. You start to get into patterns, which may not be the healthiest. And in this case, in order for both of us to thrive, we needed to take a difficult call. It's not easy; it's gut-wrenching, heart-wrenching. But ultimately, it has been instrumental in my becoming healthier, stronger."
After a few years of divorce, Imran started dating actor, Lekha Washington. He praised her in the same conversation and revealed that they both entered the relationship consciously when they were sure about it. Further, they intend to 'evolve, grow and heal' for a productive relationship. After dating for a few years, they decided to move in together in a new apartment.
