Jemima Goldsmith, British socialite and former wife of ousted prime minister Imran Khan, has won hearts online with his rendition of the classic Pakistani song.
The 48-year-old is heiress to the Goldsmith fortune but is best known for her philanthropy nowadays. She recently appeared in an interview published by a British broadcaster and her version of Aao bacho sair karain tumko Pakistan ki, a not-so-ordinary nursery rhyme, and song, went viral.
