Imran and Khan and Reham Khan, both confirmed their divorce, however they quashed the rumors of financial settlement in their tweets.
So Arif Nizami is a credible anchor person. He was the only one who pointed it out a month ago but all other denied icl. Haroon Rasheed. — belal ®ana (@ranaabilal) October 30, 2015
Earlier on January 7 this year, the couple tied knot in a simple ceremony in Islamabad, after weeks long denial to claims of Arif Nizami that said the couple was set to marry.
