ISLAMABAD – The top contender for Pakistan’s prime minister office, Imran Khan has said marriage to Reham Khan was biggest mistake of his life, talking in rather less glowing terms about his second wife.
“Normally I don’t say anything about Reham, but I will say this: I’ve made some mistakes in my life, but my second marriage has to be the biggest,” the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman told the Mail Online in an interview.
This is the first time Khan has opened up about the former BBC weather girl since he divorced her, after ten stormy months together, in 2015.
Imran Khan was once married to British heiress Jemima Goldsmith and later Reham Khan, but has now tied knot with his spiritual healer, Bushra Maneka.
Making an extraordinary disclosure about his new wife, the cricketer-turned-politicians said: “I did not catch a glimpse of my wife’s face until after we were married. I proposed to her without seeing her because she had never met me without her face being covered with a full veil”.
He told the British tabloid that Bushra, 39, is a leading scholar and spiritual guide who will not meet men other than her husband with her face uncovered, nor venture unveiled outside her house, which she rarely leaves.

The interview came just days before the country goes to poll on July 25 and a few days after Reham Khan launched her controversial book full of sensational allegations of adultery, drug-taking and fathering children out of wedlock.
Imran Khan is running to be next prime minister of Pakistan in July 25 elections.
