Marriage to Reham was my biggest mistake: Imran

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, in an interview with the Daily Mail, has said that marriage to Reham Khan was the biggest mistake of his life.

In a rare remark about his past marriage with the former TV show host, the PTI chairman said, “I don't normally talk about Reham Khan, but I will say this, I’ve made some mistakes in my life, but my second marriage has to be the biggest mistake of my life.”

Speaking of third marriage with Bushra BB, Imran said, “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 without her face being covered with a full veil.”

“The only idea I had of what she looked like came from an old photograph I had seen in her house,” Imran said, adding that Bushra is a leading scholar and spiritual guide in the mystic Sufi branch of Islam and she will not meet men other than her husband with her face uncovered, nor venture unveiled outside her house, which she rarely leaves.

He further said that if he does win the election, his wife will not attend official functions. The interview came just days before the country goes to poll on July 25 and a few days after his former wife Reham Khan launched her controversial book.
