In her first interview after the high-profile split with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan, Reham Khan has said she was a victim of a witch hunt in Pakistan.
“A conspiracy was hatched against me,” Reham said in an interview with British newspaper Sunday Times.
Dressed in white for the interview in Charlotte Street Hotel in central London, the broadcast journalist described the “painful” and “disturbing experience” following her divorce during which she has been accused of “hitting” him, “poisoning him with rat poison” and being an “MI6 spy”
Claiming that she has been the victim of a “witch-hunt”, Reham said her marriage to the cricketer-turned-politician has been an example of “here is a woman”, let’s “demonise her”, “vilify her” and “burn her at the stake”.
Going back to how the marriage started, the TV journalist recalled Imran asked her for her parents’ names which she found odd. “May be he wanted to ask his spiritual adviser whether he should marry me or not,” she said.
“The next time I met him, he proposed to me,” she added.
But everything was not as easy. The first trouble came from his family as Imran’s sisters opposed their marriage and thought she “wasn’t good enough” for their brother. Reham also claimed her brother didn’t think Imran was religious enough for her. “Actually my brother didn’t think Imran was religious enough for me. I had to persuade him.”
