For Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman who claimed not to haven’t seen his wife before, Imran Khan has disclosed he did not see his third wife’s face until after their marriage.
In a tell-all interview, the cricket legend turned politician also slammed his second wife, BBC weather girl Reham Khan, for making his life a misery.
With two failed marriages behind him, Khan claims his new bride is a keeper ahead of his bid to become the leader of Pakistan.
His words: “I did not catch a glimpse of my wife’s face until after we were married,” he told the Mail on Sunday.
“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.”
New wife Bushra Maneka, 39, is a leading scholar and spiritual guide in the mystic Sufi branch of Islam.
Her faith means she will not meet men other than her husband without a veil covering her face.
When she finally removed her veil, Khan, 65, added:
“I was not disappointed, and now I am happily married.”
Back in his prime as a partying socialite based in London, Khan admitted: “[It would] have been unthinkable if someone had told me I would marry someone whose face I hadn’t seen. I would have thought they were mad.”
