Imran Khan, the former Bollywood actor, made a rare public appearance with his girlfriend, Lekha Washington, at a special screening of Aamir Khan's new film, "Sitaare Zameen Par" on June 19, 2025. The event, hosted by Aamir Khan, drew a star-studded crowd, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Rekha, and many other Bollywood personalities.
Imran Khan, known for his roles in films like "Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na," has maintained a low profile in recent years, especially after his separation from his wife, Avantika Malik, in 2019. This appearance marks one of the few times he has been seen publicly with Lekha Washington, sparking renewed interest in his personal life and potential return to the film industry.
Lekha Washington is a multifaceted artist known for her work as an actress, artist, and product designer. Born in Chennai, she began her career as a model before transitioning into acting. She made her acting debut in the Tamil film industry with "Unnale Unnale" in 2007 and has since appeared in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and English language films. Beyond acting, Lekha is also a skilled sculptor and designer, with her design work, particularly in lighting and furniture, garnering attention for its innovative and quirky aesthetic. She founded "Ajji- The Odd Product Company" in 2011, which has since evolved into "Lekha Washington Studio," focusing on sustainable innovation and original design.
The couple's presence at the "Sitaare Zameen Par" screening has generated considerable buzz. Imran Khan chose a brown jacket paired with a black t-shirt and denim jeans for the event, while Lekha wore a chic floral dress. Their stylish appearance and comfortable demeanor with each other have been well-received by fans and media alike.
"Sitaare Zameen Par" is Aamir Khan's latest film, directed by R. S. Prasanna. While not a direct sequel, it carries forward the thematic essence of Aamir's 2007 film "Taare Zameen Par," focusing on encouraging acceptance and celebrating individuality. The film introduces ten new actors and follows a former basketball coach who takes on the challenge of training children with special abilities in the sport. The screening event was a grand affair, with numerous celebrities expressing their support for Aamir Khan and his new cinematic venture.
This public appearance of Imran Khan and Lekha Washington together follows previous instances where the couple has been spotted, further solidifying their relationship in the public eye. In March 2025, they were seen walking hand-in-hand, exuding an old-school romantic charm. Such appearances have not only delighted fans but have also reignited discussions about Imran's potential return to the silver screen.
