Rockstar and Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali has reportedly left his wife, Preety, for Pakistani model and actress Iman Ali. The Indian media has been reporting on how the two met last year through friends in India. A source reported, “In fact, just a day before the release of Rockstar, Imtiaz and Iman visited the Nizamuddin dargah in Delhi last year as well as in April this year.” Apparently only a select few knew of the couple’s relationship.

The latest progress on this report comes from Times of India who have spoken to Imtiaz’s father Mansoor Ali, “Imtiaz has gone to Belgium for a conference on international film promotion. He hasn't told us anything about a rift with Preety. Yeh unke aapas ki baat ho toh pata nahi. Problems happen in all marriages and one should handle things in a dignified manner. Imtiaz and Preety are mature individuals. I am sure they will be able to handle the matter with grace. If any marriage is crumbling, there must be various reasons for it. Just the presence or absence of someone doesn't break a marriage. As soon as Imtiaz returns from Belgium, we will ask him about the issue." He continued, “It wouldn't be fair to link Imtiaz with anyone. Everyone is aware of the image Imtiaz has. Saying that he is involved with another lady is undignified.”
