Imran Khan and Avantika Malik, who married in 2011, ended their relationship in 2019 after eight years of marriage. Recently, Avantika opened up about the emotional pain she experienced during their divorce and how the year 2019 was a turning point in her life, describing it as a time that “broke” her.
Reflecting on Life and Growth
In her recent post, Avantika shared her thoughts on life and time, encouraging others to make the most of every moment. She explained that life is short and urged people to embrace each day with purpose. “The truth is, the number of days we have here is actually not so large. So if you have the opportunity to wake up tomorrow, to let this world age you, weather you, and meet you where you are for even just one more golden minute, I hope you show up for it,” she wrote. She stressed the importance of living fully, taking risks, and expressing love.
Finding Strength Through Adversity
Avantika continued by offering advice on self-care and emotional healing. She urged people to “take care of others, leaving them better than you found them,” and to “give yourself permission to take up space.” She emphasized the importance of loving with intention, forgiving, and maintaining hope during challenging times. She encouraged others to stay soft, stay curious, and, most importantly, hold onto their hope.
A Reunion and Positive Change
In her post, Avantika also shared a powerful moment with two friends she hadn’t seen since 2019. When they met, they remarked on the positive changes they saw in her. “The last time they saw me in the flesh was 2019, the year I broke and unravelled… And then they saw me now. And they both had the same things to say… That they finally see me being authentic, the real me. And the joy they see brings to my eyes, a glow to my face… and I knew they were telling me the truth. But the best thing they said to me was that I was ‘living,'” she wrote.
The Power of Hope and Transformation
Avantika reflected on how she had come to this place of healing and transformation. She credited her journey to the choice of hope, even in the darkest moments. “I know it’s because somehow, shockingly, I always chose hope. In the darkest, bleakest moments (and there were a few), I reminded myself that if all I do is focus on putting out the love within me, the universe will generously reflect that back to me. What is within is without,” she concluded.
