Washington shared insights into her life with Khan
When asked about her life with Khan, Washington said, "In this cynical world, to live and grow together with someone whilst being mutually madly in love is a rare gift. It is also hard work." "The part that I cherish the most is our ability to talk things through and evolve into hopefully better versions of ourselves. The excellent posterior is a bonus."
Khan and Washington's journey from friendship to love
Khan, who was earlier married to Avantika Malik, confirmed his relationship with Washington in a Vogue India interview. He said they grew close during the lockdown, a year and a half after separating from Malik. Khan also clarified that Washington wasn't a "homewrecker," as some narratives suggested, adding that such accusations were misogynistic and undermined his individual agency.
