In a chat with Soha Ali Khan on her YouTube channel, Avantika Malik opened up about her 18-year relationship with Imran. “At such a tender age, you don’t even realise that it’s your own responsibility. It’s like, ‘Oh, this person is in front of me and they are responsible for me being happy and content’. You don’t realise that over the years, you end up kind of damaging the relationship because you have these unrealistic expectations from it,” she said.
