Imran Khan's ex-wife Avantika says she could never ‘poison' their daughter against him: ‘Trying to damage their relationship will hurt her'
Actor Imran Khan became an instant heartthrob when he made his debut in Aamir Khan's production, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008). As his career came out of its nascent stage and movie releases started becoming sparse, the actor tackled a lot on the personal front, including a divorce with his wife Avantika Malik, who recently talked about what all transpired behind the scenes. Avantika talked about her relationship with Imran in detail and how the divorce changed the trajectory of their lives as well as their daughter's. In an appearance on Nayandeep Rakhsit's YouTube channel, Avantika shared her state of mind from the time of her divorce and how the separation affected their daughter, who was only 5-years-old at the time. She said, 'When we told Imara for the first time that I and Imran were not going to be married anymore, the first question that popped into her head was whether she was going to lose her parents. Luckily, there were examples in my own family to show her that nobody can replace those people.' ALSO READ: Virat Kohli on how he 'organically' accepted Anushka Sharma's parents as his own, calls her father 'fearless': 'We are like friends' She acknowledged that 'it is a bit difficult for the kids to accept someone new in their parents' life' and how every child has a certain preconceived notion of what a family is supposed to look like. While she admitted that it certainly was a task for her daughter to be okay with everything, she eventually came around. She shared that they can now joke about Avantika getting a new boyfriend and shared with a laugh, 'We joke about it now, and I will ask her whether I should get a new boyfriend or not? She tells me there is no need and it is perfect, just the two of us. But she has grown now and understands that her parents are bound to have other partners.' When asked whether she ever let her personal feelings for Imran come in the way of parenting and if she ever thought of or tried to distance Imara from him, Avantika denied any such action and credited her own childhood for clarity regarding this. She said, 'I didn't have a very good relationship with my father in my early years, and I was very clear from the beginning that I did not want that for my child. If you decide to poison your child… it's because you are bitter and you have certain resentments. I wanted her to have a very beautiful relationship with him, and me trying to damage that is ultimately going to hurt her.' Imran Khan and Avantika Malik were married for 8 years and welcomed their daughter Imara in 2014 before finalising their divorce in 2019.

The names include Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, and director Ranjith read more The Malayalam movie industry took a bold and much-needed step last year when a committee by the name of Hema was established to unearth the dark side of some influential and powerful personalities of the film fraternity. A lot of cases of sexual harassment came into light. As per a report by The Hindu, the Kerala Police won't be investigating the matters further as the survivors haven't provided them with their statements. There are at least 30 cases that have reached chargesheet level and proceedings against those personalities are going. The names include Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, and director Ranjith. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Actress Parvathy Thiruvothu has now tagged the Kerala CM on her Instagram story and slammed him by saying, 'Now can we focus on the actual reason this Committee was formed. Putting policies in place to help make regulations in the industry? What is happening with that CMO Kerala? No rush eh, it has been only five-and-a-half years since the report was submitted.' In the wake of various sexual allegations cropping up against many of its members, all office-bearers of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) including its president and top actor Mohanlal, resigned from their positions last year. In a statement, the association said the administrative panel resigned as such, taking moral responsibility for the allegations. Hema Commission's report exposed some shocking revelations about the Malayalam Film Industry, known for its out-of-the-box yet relevant stories. The report was also an expose of the toxicity of the people that work there and how they had been misusing their power and clout to prey on women that have the desire to act and be on celluloid.

Nita Ambani married Mukesh Ambani only on this condition, it was related to...
Nita Ambani married Mukesh Ambani only on this condition, it was related to... Nita Ambani is popular for her philanthropic works. She holds several responsibilities, from being the chairperson of Dhirubhai Ambani International School to handling Reliance Foundation. She seeks to empower millions of Indians. For the unversed, Nita is the owner of Mumbai Indians, the most successful cricket team in the Indian Premier League, the founder chairperson of Football Sports Development Limited, which launched the Indian Super League, and the head of the Education and Sports for All initiative for children. But many people don't know that Nita Ambani had this one condition before marrying Mukesh Ambani. What was the condition? Before marrying Mukesh Ambani, son of Dhirubhai Ambani, Nita was working as a school teacher. She hailed from a simple and humble Gujarati family. Her father, Ravindrabhai Dalal, used to hold a senior position at the Birla Group. Born as Nita Dalal, she started her career in education as a teacher at Sunflower Nursery School, where she earned a modest salary of Rs 800 per month. Apart from her professional achievement, Nita is also a trained Bharatnatyam dancer. It was this time that Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh Ambani's father, saw Nita performing a classical dance at an event. Amazed by her grace and presence, Dhirubhai expressed his wish to make her his daughter-in-law. Dhirubhai Ambani approached Nita's father with a marriage proposal for his son Mukesh. At first, Nita wasn't very sure about marrying Mukesh. According to the media reports, Nita was concerned because he belonged to a very wealthy family, while she came from a modest background. Nita also kept one condition before saying yes to Mukesh Ambani. If media reports are to be believed, Nita wanted to continue working as a teacher after marriage. She agreed to marry Mukesh only after he accepted her wish. In an earlier interview on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Nita revealed that while some people mocked her decision to work at a school, she found deep fulfillment and joy in her role as a teacher. In the interview, Mukesh can be heard saying, 'As soon as we married, the next year she was a school teacher.' Later, Nita Ambani says, 'At Sunflower Nursery and it paid me Rs 800 per month.' Mukesh playfully added, 'And all that salary was mine. It paid for all our dinners'. Remembering the old days, Nita said, 'People used to laugh at me at that time, but I think it gave me a lot of satisfaction'. Mukesh and Nita Ambani got married in 1985.
