Imran Khan’s ex-wife Reham Khan leaves Pakistan after receiving threats

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan’s former wife Reham Khan has left Pakistan reportedly after receiving threats. She left the country on Sunday night after her staff received several threat calls, and later confirmed the same to a television channel in Pakistan.

The British Pakistani journalist expressed her anguish over the development citing that she was forced to discontinue her daughter’s schooling. She further said that none of the political parties in the country backed her over the issue.

The 44-year-old TV journalist and Pakistani cricket legend-turned-politician Imran Khan had announced their decision to split amid reports that Imran objected to her meddling in politics.

Imran's marriage to Reham was his second after his first marriage with English heiress Jemima Goldsmith for nine years ended in divorce in June, 2004.

The development comes ahead of the launch of Reham Khan's autobiography, which is slated to be released soon. It is widely speculated that the book would carry details of her disturbed marriage with Imran Khan.

Speaking to Geo TV, she said that her book would carry all aspects of her life and hence, mention of her relationship with Imran Khan is a part of the same. She, however, added that she has made sure that her book is not written in any anger or anguish.

She further said, "Reports of my association with political parties are false. Fact is that no party wants me to speak. Across the board, I have no backing or support of any political party in Pakistan."

Reham Khan says will return to Pakistan after her book is published

Reham Khan, a former TV anchor and ex-wife of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, has clarified that she has left Pakistan temporarily due to various reasons and will return to the country after a book she has been working on is published.

Reham told DawnNews that she is currently in the UK "temporarily", "for the security of my kids" and wants to settle her children there and publish her book.

"I have not left the country. When the book is published, I will return to Pakistan."

The former TV presenter said the editing and writing of her book have been completed and she is only waiting for it to be published.

Talking about the book, Reham said it is mainly about her life as a journalist and mother, but mentioned that the PTI chief features in it because he was once a part of her life, "albeit an unpleasant one".

Media reports had earlier claimed that Reham had left the country "amid threats by unknown individuals".

The news of her departure came in the wake of a recent interview she gave to India TV, in which she commented on her former husband's alleged third marriage.

"There is no specific threat," Reham clarified today. She, however, claimed that a cricketer from the national team had been "constantly trying to contact me".

She claimed that when she finally spoke to the player, he told her to "stop saying what you are saying about Imran."

Reham further alleged that after their divorce, Khan had sent her a message stating, "You should leave for the UK and give the impression that your kids could not be settled here [Pakistan]."

Terming it a "masked threat", she said she "know the ability of these people [PTI members]".

See: Imran’s ‘threatening’ one-liner startles journalists

Reham said people had been linking her to the PML-N after her recent statements, but a senior leader from the ruling party had called her this week and suggested that she stop talking about Khan.

She said other senior PML-N leaders had also asked her to keep mum about Khan.

"They had also asked me to stay quiet on the Ayesha Gulalai [harrassment] issue," she told DawnNews.

Responding to her allegation, PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry said her claims were "rubbish".

"The threat [allegedly issued by Khan] was so effective that she lived in Pakistan for two years [after the divorce] and only in elections year she remembered the threat and that too just before [the] launch of her 'sponsored' book," he told DawnNews.

"PTI is not MQM [Muttahida Qaumi Movement] and we have no militant groups or the Punjab police at our disposal."

GeoNews, late Sunday night, said that Reham, while speaking to anchorperson Muneeb Farooq, had "confirmed she had left Pakistan on Sunday night and was receiving threats through phone calls made to her staff".

The publication added that Reham had also reportedly shared a voice recording of the coordinator of Reham Khan Foundation telling her that he had received threats for working for the foundation.

On Twitter, Reham did not mention leaving the country; she, however, did share journalist Murtaza Solangi's tweet in which he expressed shock over her "leaving the country".

Features in it.... I wonder how much of the book will be about Imran. :13:

Her book "Cashing your divorce" is all about Imran Khan. It is sponsored and funded by PMLN as their leaders had been warning about Reham Khan book for a year now and she denied this till now.

She has been meeting different PMLN leaders including Ata Qasmi, Hanif Abbasi, PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi etc and PMLN leaders have been revealing details about the book for quite some time now so absolutely no doubt the book is yet another personal attack from mature Nawaz Sharif after they unleashed Gulali last year.

As in, a current cricketer....?

Find this rather hard to believe.
 
After being threatened by cricketer she left the country lol. So the millitant wing of the PTI is ex cricketers.

doesnt make a fair battle though.

one side you have PML-N with their Gullu Butts, MQM with their thugs and then we have PTI has Shoaib Malik in their corner :))

Everyone has a price in the Sub continent. If the Noora's can offer Imran Khan Rs 10 billion to shut up about the Panama case, Rehan Khan and Ayesha Gullalai will sell themselves for even 1% of the amount

That's the problem fighting such a system, you get shocked how people sell themselves and this ruling mafia has so much to offer. So many intellectuals and top lawyers sold themselves fighting corruption cases on behalf of this mafia. So many intellectuals and liberals sell themselves for favours to simply change their opinions on this corrupt mafia.
In Pakistan the mafia gets even more support because they hide behind "Democracy". This is my biggest criticism on dictators, they disrupt democracy and always make deals with these corrupt mafias to make them even more stronger. Then these people blackmail us "support us or democracy is in danger".

Imran Khan weds healer Bushra Wattoo and sparks row over his character

Mr Khan was previously married to the British socialite turned campaigner and editor Jemima Goldsmith and the former BBC journalist Reham Khan.

Yesterday Ms Khan alleged that the relationship between the newlyweds had begun before her ten-month marriage ended in divorce in 2015. “Imran Khan was in contact with Bushra three years ago when I was his wife and he is not the truthful man,” Ms Khan, 44, told The Times. “I knew they married on 1 January, and he revealed it later, this is exactly what he did after marrying me and then announcing after two months.”

Seems like a load of trash and fairy stories so her book sells.

With the elections coming up the last thing IK should do is entertain these allegations.
 
^^ More material for the book....

She was trolled on twitter to add extra chapters to her book as she has more material now.

She blamed Tareen and other PTI leaders for ruining her marriage but NEVER mentioned this and now all of a sudden she comes up with this.

Imran Khan should ignore her he ALWAYS does and concentrate on his campaign, her fate will be no different to Gulalai.

Gulali these days sits on every channel personally insulting Nawaz Sahrif and accusing PMLN of all sort of things. Won't be too long before another PMLN missile "Reham" hits them on their own backside.

Yes silence from IK does kill everything like this.
She can,t do much.
 
Love how we unanimously take IK's side in all this without knowing all the facts.

A guy married and re-married 3 times, it's not completely out of whack to think that he does something wrong in the relationships he is in. It's not out of the ordinary either, famous celebrities in the West have lifestyles like this, but for someone trying to become Pakistan's PM it is.

Very true,women or ones opposing him are not even given a chance by many posters here, seem to be nearing blind worship of him.
 
This book is going to expose everyone and its great that it is being published just before the elections. Just wondering if it will be placed in all government libraries just as “Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif’s Dastan-e-Hayaat was. Government should totally do it so the averge guy could benefit from them.

To be fair, Jemima and Imran are still in good terms. Ayesha Gulalai was given a fair chance to explain herself but she exposed herself through her numerous contradictory interviews.

Reham Khan should also be given a fair chance. However, one can’t help but be suspicious about her claims since it’s now been a while since the split. Also, her links with prominent PMLN members have recently been established.

Yes but what if Jemima comes up with something in future,also one needs to remember she has kids with Imran,it would not be ideal for them as well if she has talk against Imran.

There should be something about Khan Sahab that no women is good enough for him,but again as a political leader his personal life shouldn't matter but it does in almost every country for the voters.

Lol why would the Goldsmiths financially help out Khan and why would Khan endorse Zac Goldsmith for London mayor a year or so ago and also live at his ex mother in laws house whenever he's in London? Khan and Jemima seem to be on pretty good terms.

Khan and Jemima are on good terms and only ended the marriage cause of his political ambitions and plans to live the rest of his life in Pakistan. The Only divorce he had was with Reham who was also previously divorced with 3 kids and is totally estranged from her ex husband.

The reason for split between Imran and Jemima is well known. It had very little to do with compatibility but more to do with PMLN dragging her name into Pakistani politics. Also, she was instrumental in helping Imran win his recent case in Supreme Court.

Not a big fan of his marriage decision, but If you look around Pakistan or even the world, you will find no shortage of politicians with a colourful personal life.

Fair point ,but in terms of other politicians with colorful life no one defends them.like posters defend Imran.

Yes, however, usually other politicians personal life is not highlighted as much ether. Just for example, the PMLN supporters making a big issue out of this marriage conveniently forget that Shehbaz Sharif has had about 5 marriages.

Because that’s all they can attack, his personal life. Whereas other politicians can be rightly attacked for corruption and ruining the country.

Those who support IK understand that his personal life isn’t an obstacle to make Pakistan a better country, corrupt and willingly incompetent government is.

I didn't comment this earlier because you probably won't take my words being PTI supporter seriously but a couple of fairly neutral posters have commented on it i can add something.

"Reason why other posters don't defend their leaders is because opposition (PTI and PPP) never attack personal lives of PMLN leaders". Don't be fooled by Nawaz Sharif's innocent face, he has launched several personal attacks against Benazir Bhutto, Imran Khan and others.

Also, Imran khan does not control any media houses like Sharifs to attack their personal lives so when we defend Imran Khan we believe these are all distractions from other issues and if personal lives are so important then personal lives of other leaders are no different.

Well it's a fair point but we are not talking about multiple divorces here, he had 2 divorces.

1 - Jamaima - Both have huge respect for each other to date and Imran even lives with his in laws when he visits UK. Jamaima herself has confirmed many times their KEY disagreement was that she wanted to move back to UK (mainly due to troubles created by Sharif family against her) and Imran refused to leave his country.

2 - Reham Khan - Imran has refused to say ONE bad word against her since their divorce whereas Reham Khan has gone to media making all sort of claims and even writing book about her divorce. Maybe that would have been fine but she has been seen with many PMLN leaders and many of them had been warning for a year about her book and even knew what is in the book.

Now please tell me who should we believe here?

Imran Khan also has secret daughter which he never acknowledged. Tyrian White, Google it up.
 
Considering the type of revenge filled woman she is Reham Khan would have made this allegation earlier if it were true

She only made it when Imran Khan made It public that he is marrying another woman
 
I'm surprised she was still in Pakistan to be honest. I assumed she went there to marry Khan, otherwise she would have returned to England where she is probably more at home. Certainly for a salacious tell all book deal, this is the place to be. She can serialise it in tabloid rags to boost sales.

Imran Khan's life is pretty much an open book. His first wife Jemima has great respect for him and to this day continues to stand by his side. She is a very strong English lady who would criticise IK if he had been a bad husband.

How much do you know about Reham Khan?

Well this is what her ex husband thinks of her.

Dr Rehman, 54, a consultant psychiatrist in Lincolnshire, accuses his former wife of slandering his good name and, despite the turmoil already affecting their inter-related families, is threatening legal action against her.

He says, bluntly, that she used him 'like toilet paper to clean up her image' after she found herself harshly criticised by traditionalists in Pakistan who saw Imran's bride as far too Westernised.

This is the first time that Dr Rehman has agreed to be interviewed: for personal and professional reasons, he is wary of entering the public arena. But Reham's consistent refusal to apologise – and what he sees as continuing damage to his reputation – now means, he says, he has no choice.

Pictures of Reham handling pork sausages, dancing with other men and wearing revealing clothes while at the BBC, caused national outrage among some of her new husband's ardent supporters.

'I have never spoken about my personal experience of domestic violence because I... felt it would be unfair to expose the other party,' she said on Pakistani television.

Dr Rehman is still reeling and has demanded a public retraction.

'Reham is completely unprincipled to have made this allegation,' he says. 'I never raised a hand against her, even when provoked by her hysterical attacks on me during our marriage. She's damaged my reputation just because she wanted people to feel sorry for her.

'For a woman with three children to leave her husband is not a done thing in our culture – unless she had very good reasons. That's why she concocted the fictional stories about me being a bad husband and terrible father.

As for me not financially supporting my kids, how on earth could someone in my position working for the NHS get away with such a thing? After the divorce I paid 25 per cent of my £6,000 monthly salary to the Child Support Agency (CSA).

'She continued to claim child benefit and my CSA contribution, even after leaving the country to resettle in Pakistan. I have proof that this went on for more than a year. I certainly paid maintenance for all my children right up to 2014. I would like to see the matter investigated properly by the departments concerned.'

'If you put my name into the internet, the stories do not make me look good,' he says. 'I've stopped going out socially because whenever people hear my name they recognise me. I've even had emails asking if I had ever beaten her.

'Colleagues give me looks, as if wondering if there is any truth in it, and I worry that my patients might react badly. I've been forced to go public because of the way the scandal has affected my life. It has caused me sleepless nights and deeply upset Sam.'

The final straw came when his eldest son, Sahir, 22, claimed that 'our father has never supported us', and in a tweet called his father 'a scumbag'. Dr Rehman says the children went to private school until they moved into an area with a good grammar school.

It was not a love match, but she was very attractive and quite bright. I felt she was someone I could live with. I did not even ask for a dowry.

But my family gave her so much jewellery that by the time she left me it was valued at about £100,000.'

'At Asian parties male and females are usually separate but she always found an excuse to be with the men. She also wore very low-cut tops and dresses which were too short.

'I'm not a narrow-minded person and didn't expect her to wear traditional clothes, but she often went too far. Many times I had to point out this out and she would go ballistic if she didn't get her way. I just gave in for a quiet life.'

He says she loved to brag, pretending they spent more money on things than they actually did. 'She once bought a dress for $40 while we were on holidaying in America, but told friends it cost $400. She told people we paid £100,000 more for our house and said that our £37,000 car cost £50,000.'

By the time their third child was born in 2003, the marriage was falling apart. In 2004, Reham took the children to Pakistan for an extended stay and only returned after Dr Rehman promised to buy her a bigger house. He bought a £450,000 mansion with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two drawing rooms and a sauna.

But Reham filed for divorce in 2005 and Dr Rehman left the house with just one suitcase. 'She brought me down to nothing,' he says.

'She got everything – all the antique furniture that now graces the home she shares with Imran, £50,000 in cash, half my pension and my children. I was left with nothing but a mountain of debts after the divorce, and a £100,000 legal bill.

In 2012 she moved to Islamabad with the children and began her transformation in earnest. Dr Rehman says: 'I didn't know she had left the UK until family and friends called to tell me they had seen her there on television.'

It's obvious the woman has not moral authority to degrade IK. She is a leech who married a man to get a visa and use his wealth for her own pleasures. Now she is trying to make money by fabricating stories of her marriage to IK. IK made a big mistake marrying this woman but he's human, realised his mistake and got rid of her.
 
How convenient it is to blame everything on Reham and making IK some sought of an angel. Their marriage failed because both of them had issues. I am not a fan of her but stop maligning her without knowing what's the reality.

she used to host a news show here for 2-3 years before marriage to Khan

No one stopped others to post stuff against Imran Kan and surely both need to be heard before making any judgement.

Here, Reham Khan attacks another woman for covering herself:

"To have a woman veiled head to toe, he (Imran Khan) has alienated a lot of people" : Reham

Then she even accused Imran Khan of having an affair while he was married with Reham which is quite cheap and disgusting given the fact that even Bushra's ex husband who divorced her denied that Imran had anything to do with their divorce and said "His wife has great character and he hadn't seen a better guy than Imran Khan".

Please show me where Imran Khan has attacked Reham or her character, you may not know but even Reham's first husband accused her of being extremely greedy and selfish and he even feared for his life.
 
^^ Just to add, Reham had NEVER accused Imran of any affair until news of his 3rd marriage came out. She always said that some PTI leaders were responsible for her divorce, now this accusation comes as an afterthought as it provides her perfect opportunity.

I haven't mentioned any of the stories against Reham, she was accused of calling rich donors of Shaukat Khanum Hospital asking them to sponsor her film "Janaan".

Reham should not have attacked on IK's new wife. That was uncalled for. But look at this thread, you are only hearing how ******* is Reham and what a great man is Imran. Nobody knows the reality of their personal life, then how one can come to that conclusion? All these media interviews about their exes are all suited for one party, why would anyone blindly trust these articles?

And about Imran not saying anything about her, do you really think he will commit a political suicide by going all out on her ex wife? A guy who aspires to become a PM of a conservative country like Pakistan will never do that.
