Actor Imran Khan has been in a relationship with Lekha Washington for quite some time now. The couple has made multiple public appearances and have never shied away from talking about their relationship. They were last seen together at the premiere of the film Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos, in which Khan made a cameo, marking his comeback to the movies. However, Lekha faced social media trolling for her interfaith relationship with Imran Khan. Some even termed it as ‘love jihad’.

Lekha Washington on love jihad comments

On her social media handle, Lekha shared a video addressing the trolling and the ‘love jihad’ comments. She said, “Love Jihad – apparently it is being done to me, a part Burmese, Italian, Punjabi, raised in south India, moved to north India with a dad who's Roman Catholic but agnostic persona (is being love-jihaded by) a guy whose father is part Hindu, part Scottish and a mom who is Muslim. So I am like, ‘Do Na Love Jihad,’ and I say, ‘No, no. Instead, I make lights’.”
