Islamabad, May 28 (). Imran Khan’s life is full of stories that establish him as a man who has not only brought him fame but has also enjoyed love, intimate relationships and passion. However, his transformation from being a playboy to becoming Pakistan’s only hope for a progressive future, raising his voice against Islamophobia and moving towards the formation of a religiously driven welfare Islamic state, is indeed a 360-degree turn.
Imran Khan has always been surrounded by stories of relationships that have had a profound impact on his life and show how it played a significant role in his transformation.
His first known relationship was with Sita White, daughter of the late British industrialist and billionaire Lord Gordon White, who was also a prominent American industrialist. Sita White fell in love with handsome bachelor Imran Khan and the two were in a relationship for at least six years.
According to reports, the couple decided to have a child in 1991 and Tyrion Jade was born in June 1992 in Los Angeles. But Khan refuses to accept Tyrion as his daughter. Khan is later determined by a Los Angeles court to be Tyrion’s father.
Another turning point in Khan’s life came when he married Jemima Goldsmith, daughter of James Goldsmith, another billionaire with a highly influential presence in the Jewish community.
Being a Pakistani Muslim, Khan’s marriage into an influential Jewish family caused concern to many, despite the fact that Jemima had converted to Islam. However, Khan’s marriage and the birth of his two sons brought some clarity and direction to his life. The marriage later broke down and Jemima lives in the United Kingdom with her two sons and her stepdaughter, while Imran Khan lives in Pakistan.
Khan had another marriage with Reham. But it too broke down under the most bitter circumstances ever. The marriage took place at a time when Khan’s political popularity was at its peak. Khan’s marriage with Reham ended with serious allegations leveled against him by Reham. Reham also wrote a book giving salacious and uncomfortable details about Khan.
But a major change in Imran Khan’s life was seen when he came closer to his spiritual mentor and current wife Bushra Bibi, who came from a spiritual and religious background unlike his earlier life partners.
Bushra Bibi’s entry in Imran Khan’s life brought about a change in his personality, outlook towards life. Khan moved from his playboy image to a new image of an enlightened man with a better understanding of Islam. Now he became an advocate of a welfare state with the Islamic religious laws of Sharia.
This change in his personality increased public support for him. His popularity among the public now increased with acceptance among religious factions who agreed with the formation of an Islamic welfare state in Pakistan.
It would not be wrong to say that Imran Khan’s relationships have had a deep impact on his life and have brought changes in him that he could never have imagined.
