I am not surprised Imran Khan is going to lead Pakistan. That is why I wrote the book.
In the run-up to the Pakistan elections I was questioned about the motivation behind releasing my autobiography. I meant it when I said that my book wasn’t written to destroy anyone’s dreams nor to further anyone’s politics. The idea was to document all that I had seen and heard in my lifetime.
It was an unedited, unrestrained eye-witness account. The book laid bare many uncomfortable truths but then that is usually the case with truth. It is hard to believe and confront.
Like many others, I too viewed the world through rose-tinted glasses once. I was in denial until I caught my former husband Imran Khan redhanded on more than one occasion. The problem is that we all want a hero and Imran Khan was the only one for 40 years in a country with very little to be proud of. Back in 2013, I had described him as Pakistan’s best export.
By 2018, long before my book hit the market, we saw the tragic fall of this hero. The good looks, which helped him win Indian fans, could not hide the ugliness of his extremist rhetoric. The ball that won him respect was now to be swung against the very India that had loved him so dearly. When the daily count of critical articles increased from the West, Imran declared that the West had an agenda.
The accusations of pandering to the military establishment, appeasing the extremist elements and becoming the ‘PM select’ reached fever pitch by the time the D-day arrived. But the result in what is being called the dirtiest election, still left everyone gobsmacked. The Pakistani electorate and the pundits had also been in denial, just like I was when I married him.
As the results come in I can relate to the general air of disbelief. How could they so blatantly rig the elections, pundits asked. Why him? Could they not see how the Chinese, the Saudis and even the Iranians had a problem with him? I looked at the tweets, the swear words in WhatsApp groups and felt amused at their state of shock.
I am not surprised. Because I knew why this was happening. This is why I wrote the book. I did not write it to impact the election result, I wrote it precisely because no one could have stopped the plan.
There are not many things Imran says that I agree with, but he was right when he said that I was the biggest mistake of his life. We could not have been more different. I follow my heart but Imran is as cold as a reptile in his calculations.
The Imran I lived with for a year was neither dim nor rash.
Imran had thought I would be happy to be a celebrity wife. In reality, I was not cut out to be a politician’s wife who would look the other way and keep her opinions to herself.
And so, what is my reaction to the news of Imran Khan finally getting what he wanted? Relief that I am not with him at this time. He will be remembered as the man who stole the people’s mandate. For me, it is important to be with a man who commands respect because of his intellect or ability. It is impossible to be with someone who compromises his integrity and becomes the butt of jokes. But Pakistan, however, is now stuck with him. They have no option of walking away from their PM-to-be like I did.
We are a nation who get embarrassed when our PM reads from his notes in the White House. We change the subject when we are reminded of dictators like Zia-ul-Haq and Pervez Musharraf.
How will we defend a PM who does not know how to cast a vote, and who breaks laws with impunity? From setting alight his utility bills one minute to endorsing a break-in into the state TV channel the next— the skipper of the rocky boat has less than a glowing report.
A man who has a severe drug habit has been chosen to head the country at a critical juncture in our history. The choice is simple. There is only one right side of history. I am grateful to destiny that I happen to be standing on the right side.
Reham Khan is a journalist, child rights activist, and single parent in Pakistan. She authored ‘Reham Khan‘, an autobiography.
I wish it was true that you actually “walked away” from Khan. You were kicked out for who you are: a bi-polar borderline. You should consult a good psychiatrist and fully cooperate until you could get the full treatment and fix your chemical imbalance. I empathize with you for being a miserable woman!
She is of course missing the opportunities and time for what she she had been married to him.If she is so intelligent and passionate women then she she is exposing the time passed with him. She should have been told everything during marriage. No what she is expecting is just she should join Bolly wood film industry. This is the only solution of her guilt.she is humaliating herself. But she is stupid .Why she is not handling freedom of women empowerment being a women she should know that she is not right at all.
I hope someday the Indians will learn to get along with the Pakistanis. From his acceptance speech, I thought Imran Khan had a positive message for India. You do need to resolve the problems of Kashmir. The issue is not this lady’s hurt feelings about her ex husband, but bringing peace and stability to the region.
Without Imran Khan, Reham Khan is nothing.
Reham as you have lived im Britain so i would give you a right name for yourself you are a slag..you have been dumped by khan like a tissue paper in toilet..you can write lies try to make impact on people’s opinion but the truth of the matter is ypu are zaleel and ruswa every where and our khan in the hero of nation…there is still time to reconsider and accept your mistakes but you wont cause ypu a filthy slag who disrespects the duppata by having it own..btw i just came to comment and dint read a single line of your filth. Jealous and failed woman
Despite all your claims about Imran Khan he still divorced you, you did not walk away. Therefore if your claims were somehow true (their veracity is HIGHLY questionable) then how bad would your character and morality have been for Imran Khan to tolerate you? You’re a very sad woman who is desperate to retain relevance at the expense of your self respect.
Feel like laughing on your statement. Pakistan is so delighted to be with IK and thank god you are not married to him.
Must be cursing yourself for not being the first lady of Pakistan. Let me tell you two things; we are grateful to Allah for giving us a leader like Mr Imran and we are ecstatic that a hypocrite like you is not standing next to him!!
Reham Khan is a pakistani version of Rakhi sawant.. No one takes you seriously.. and by the way.. Reham is not a journalist she was just a tv presenter nothing more..
I voted for IK because PML-N failed to give us any proper infrastructure in Faisalabad. People of our area voted for PTI for the same reason. We are glad that humne vote ko izat dedi ? Ab Aap bhi hamare vote ko izat dein and kindly accept that people have rejected your book/opinions regarding Imran. Please rona band kardein ab.
Be a jemima in the world of Reham’s.
Anyhow no body cares why you wrote the book and believe me no body gives a flying chilli bean damn about your stories , views and all the things which you have written. Truth never needs an explanations like you are giving and furthermore no body is curious why you wrote the book unless one is so dumb to comments on others life.
Get life..All that is written…lie……because a man who turned Jamiime father wealth away..who was on a level as trump…today. …..has always gone by the book ….everyone hates the person who walks the path on truth and patience. …. you should try and walk on path truth it may come before you one day. ……
Vulgar lady ….burning in hire….no remedy
Shame for you indian spy ….you completely burned after elections…. And you would remain burning in hell throughout life… Vulgar lady having no worth….
Learn something from your ex. You will keep whining when he has never uttered one negative word against you. He has pledged to forgive all those who attacked him personally and thus glorified the tradition of our Holy Prophet (Pbuh). Whereas the filth and venom in your mind sees no end. Calling this the ‘dirtiest election’ without any concrete evidence is a byproduct of a polluted prejudiced mind. Shameful
This Article is a short Summary of her book. Nothing but jealous and working of evil mind.
The fact of the matter is that the Great Pakistani Nation does not give a *#$% about whatever you say. You are a disgrace, a loser, burnt out, off, over and out. Pakistani nation is just done with you. Say whatever you want and keep burning!!
an Account of a psychopath. Your all efforts to defame the person will go in vain. Please mind your own business and leave Imran Khan and the Pakistanis to who and where they are. We don’t need your guidance on the issue.
Your reality is – a foreign planted agent who married Imran Khan on a mission of slow poisoning him!!! Can you explain who is behind your evil plans and actions?? Women like you are only desperate and wildly restless for fame and money…they can be anything for that!! You were caught several times going in Imran Khan’s kitchen, his staff warned him a lot of times…did you plan to slow poison him? Anyway, it’s a waste of time even commenting on your shitty article!! Go laugh!!
Reham Khan needs to learn from Jemaima Goldsmith (Imran’s first wife) who showed her class by supporting and praising him.
Reham Khan is doing to Imran Khan what porn star Stormy Daniels is doing to Donald Trump. Both are backed by their political opponents, both are nothing but whores, and both are doing this for money.
The international observers have dubbed Pakistan 2018 Elections better than 2013 Elections which were rigged in favour of Nawaz Sharif who is now in Jail along with his daughter and son in law for corruption.
The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of Pakistanis have voted out the oligarchs to bring in Imran Khan as their next Prime Minister, whereas in a last ditch effort the bitch is trying to rock the boat.
I have cast my vote yesterday and I have seen it with my own eyes the overwhelming majority supporting PTI.
Alhamdulillah, it was because of our Army that Elections were held in peaceful environment.
We love our Imran Khan
We love our Armed Forces
We reject the foreign agents who are hell bent to disrupt our dreams to live in peace and prosperity.
Pakistan won.
Ma’am had you walked away the marriage would have ended through khula and not him divorcing you. Please contribute to society by doing good and then expect recognition or get help from a good doctor, if otherwise..
Grapes are sour.
She had done better if hadn’t written anything on the occasion. Or had shown some grace by congratulating him. She had joined him when he was totally immersed in politics and therefore perhaps calculated in his moves. He wanted a partner, not a leg puller. But he knows how to overcome hurdles and so moved on….
Reham, the jealousy and sour grapes are evident- so please try harder. Please try and learn something from Jemima – how to speak about an ex with dignity and respect even after you part ways. There has to be a more respectable way to seek the limelight than bashing your ex all the time.
A scorned woman who spends too much time thinking of her ex-husband. Move on make a life for yourself and leave Pakistan and Pakistanis alone. Get help, hire a full time shrink to ease your pain and suffering in your egotistical head. It seems you got bought a while ago and are still loyal to write your vile. Be positive, show Class and Not Crass! Learn a thing or two from Jemima.
She is a damn blatent liar. She could have done lot more better than this but her greed, lust for money and selfishness overpowered her tiny brain compartment.
Shame on you!
Notorious woman. You should better keep quiet now. Even though you tried your level best by writing a filthy D grade book to destroy IK but you have destroyed yourself. You are nothing but a shameless joke now. I pity you, you didn’t deserve to have the honour to become the first lady, rightly divorced.
Sorry to burst your bubble reham Khan u dint walk away from imran Khan he kicked u out of his life and banigala… u r a shame to Pakistan better leave Pakistan or stop barking against our prime minister imran Khan we r proud of him no matter what ur book which is not more than a garbage says
