Dozens of affairs, children outside wedlock, three marriages… : Imran Khan’s controversial personal life; was in love with famous Indian actress…
Imran Khan, the jailed former Prime Minister of Pakistan, is currently in the news after rumors of his alleged assassination in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail went viral on social media, However, well before Khan became mired in controversies in the political arena, the cricketer-turned-politician has lived a flamboyant life that includes three marriages, five children allegedly born out wedlock, and dozens of alleged affairs, including one with a famous Bollywood actress. Who was Imran Khan’s first wife? Imran Khan, who was at the peak of his popularity in the mid-1990s, after Pakistan won world the 1992 ICC World Cup under his captaincy, married British journalist and screenwriter Jemima Goldsmith in 1995. Soon, the couple welcomed two baby boys, Sulaiman Isa Khan and Kasim Khan, but the marriage ended in 2004 as Imran and Jemima decided to part ways. While the ex-couple have had their differences, they still maintain a cordial relationship and have continued to co-parent their kids even after more than two decades of getting divorced. When did Imran Khan get married again? In October 2014, a decade after separating from Jemima Goldsmith, Imran Khan married Reham Khan– a British-Pakistani journalist, author, and film producer, but the union was short-lived and ended less than a year later in 2015. Before marrying Imran Khan, Reham Khan had been married to Ijaz Rehman for 12 years from 1993 to 2005. Notably, after divorcing Imran, Reham made shocking allegations of domestic abuse and adultery against the star Pakistani all-rounder in her autobiography. Who is Bushra Bibi, Imran Khan’s third wife? Bushra Bibi, the third spouse of Imran Khan, is a Pakistani politician and faith healer who was earlier married to Khawar Maneka, the son of former Pakistani federal minister Ghulam Muhammad Maneka. Bushra, who divorced Khawar in 2017, has five children from her first marriage– three daughters and two sons. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi tied the knot in January 2018, but the marriage triggered a controversy as the cleric who had performed the wedding rituals testified that the Bushra was still observing the iddat period when she married Khan, which makes the union invalid according to Islamic Shariah Law. Has Imran Khan fathered ‘illegitimate’ children? In her book, Imran Khan’s second wife, Reham Khan, alleged that ex-Pakistani premier has fathered five children out of wedlock. Reham claimed that a few months after their marriage, Imran confessed to having five ‘illegitimate’ children, some of whom purportedly have Indian mothers. When Reham asked why the women hadn’t gone public about Imran Khan being the father of their kids, he replied that that they did not want to ruin their current marriages by publicly announcing these things, she claims in her autobiography. Its noteworthy to mention that there is no evidence for any of the accusations made by Reham Khan against her ex-husband Imran Khan. Did Imran Khan have an affair with an Indian actress? Interestingly, among Imran Khan’s countless love affairs, one of the most high-profile was his relationship with famous Bollywood actress Rekha. According to media reports from the mid-1980s, Imran Khan and Rekha were in a ‘serious’ relationship when the Khan was at the peak of his career, while Rekha was a bonafide Bollywood superstar. Rumors at the time claimed Khan and the Indian starlet bumped into each other at high-end social gatherings, and soon fell in love. What are the charges against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi? Imran Khan and his current wife Bushra Bibi have been jailed on corruption charges after being handed a prison term of 14 and 7 years, respectively, in the infamous Al-Qadir Trust case. Khan and his wife are accused of allegedly misusing 190 million pounds, and the charges include money laundering and misdirecting public funds. Imran Khan, the former captain of the Pakistan cricket team that famously won the 1992 ICC World Cup, served as the Prime Minister of Pakistan from August 2018 to April 2022.
