But as with all geniuses, being ahead of her time meant leading a rather lonely and misunderstood existence” Reham Khan alleges that Imran Khan was a free-loader, one who abused politicians. She writes how vegetables and other food items were “never bought” and were gifts by various leaders, including Jahangir Tareen, Tariq Fazal Chaudhary.

A must read sociological treatise for our part of the world, predecsessors for which include books such as ˋThe Punjabi Century´ by Tandon & The Roy Family in Bengali. This book is partly a hagiography of the author and her extended family, and partly an autobiography of her famous ex—husband Imran Khan. Further, she also writes about an episode where he told her how in Worcestershire, while he doing his A levels, a 12-year-old boy had forced himself on a then 18-year-old Imran. Reham Khan was born in Libya in the 1970s to an educated, affluent Pakistani-origin family. Her eventful life took her from Gaddafi's Libya to the Zia years in Pakistan and thence to England as a teenage bride before she returned to Pakistan in her 40s. It’s a life of extraordinary both a brutal marriage and domestic abuse, but also the rebuilding of a life, the raising of three children and subsequent media success. And in recent years the contrasts have Reham has built a successful career as a broadcast journalist and anchor, and has established herself as a powerful media force in the UK and Pakistan - but also, after years of struggle, she now finds herself in the midst of a complex web of politics, deceit and intrigue.It was over in less than a year,and Pakistan's innumerable news channels had little else to talk about. Imran was still the idol,and Reham Reham claims that her ex-husband engaged in gay encounters. Naming his close friend, Moby, she states that the men were in a “live-in relationship” despite the latter being married. She also mentions how she allegedly found empty cigar cases and huge tubes of KY jelly on Imran Khan’s bedside table. Thanks for exposing the political elite of Pakistan. To me it seemed like a sequel to My Feudal Lord by Tehmina Durrani who was brave enough to come out and expose the pious political elite of 1970’s. I have mixed feelings about this book. At one hand I am inclined to believe a lot of what she says, on the other hand I also believe that Reham is herself being hypocritical while blaming others.

I realized then that it is still possible for people who are successful to be genuinely nice people.” Further, she also writes about how Imran never paid heed to several claims of corruption in the system. One such instance was when PTI leader Azam Swati was accused of nepotism in over 500 applications in Hazara University. When FIA went to arrest Journalist Mohsin Baig he fired on FIA inspector and injured him. Firing continued for one hour from his house. Just read what Reham wrote about Wasim Akram's late wife. I'm appalled to say the least. Reham Khan should be ashamed of herself. This is a new low even for her. Meanwhile, Pakistani reporter Ahmad Noorani went on to call Baig an ‘ISI agent’, as another journalist said that Baig’s case certainly was “not a case of press freedom in Pakistan.”My fierce, blind loyalty to those who were insincere to me was spotted by her early on. After I stood up in class to defend Nadia one day, the teacher took me out and gently explained why I needed to not take risks for other people. She tried to warn me that not all people were worthy of my earnest support, but I did not listen. The friend in question would later abandon me on all key junctures of my life. My H.E teacher had perhaps been through it herself, and could recognise the vulnerability behind my tough, practical joker exterior. But it would be thirty years before I learned to put myself first. We listen to people, but do we hear what they are saying?” This was probably one of the most carelessly written books I've ever read. EVER. The language isn't engaging, and the writing technique (if there is one) is quite sloppy.

Advocate General Niazullah Niazi told Dawn after a meeting with Mr Khan on Thursday: “The prime minister has directed me to file a petition/reference against Additional Session Judge Islamabad Zafar Iqbal for giving judgement beyond his mandate before Islamabad High Court chief justice [Athar Minallah].”Care and respect may not always come from those relationships we expect it from, but from unexpected quarters that we hadn’t considered.”
