ISLAMABAD – In an interview with UK Dailymail Imran Khan has said that hehas always looked to keep his private life out of public scrutiny and mediaspotlight but added that this time was an exception. “Normally I don’t sayanything about Reham, but I will say this: I’ve made some mistakes in mylife, but my second marriage has to be the biggest.”

Imran was married to Reham – a weather presenter for BBC and British bynationality – for all of ten months before a divorce ended it all. BeforeReham, Imran was married to Jemima Goldsmith – another Briton – and thatlasted from 1995 to 2004. The PTI chief said that he is still friends withJemima and that they often speak, but that his current wife – Bushra Maneka- has been his real source of inspiration. The two got married earlier thisyear and he revealed during the interview that he had not even seen Bushratill after the wedding ceremony.

“I did not catch a glimpse of my wife’s face until after we were married.I proposed to her without seeing her because she had never met me withouther face being covered with a full veil,” he said, adding that it isbecause she is a spiritual guide in the Sufi branch of Islam and does notmeet men apart from her husband without a veil covering her face. “When Idid see her after the wedding, I was not disappointed,” Imran added.
