London, July 22 (TNS): Politician-cricketer Imran Khan who is running to be elected as Prime Minister in Pakistan’s general election, British media reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He got hitched to Bushra Maneka, a leading scholar and spiritual guide in the mystic Sufi branch of Islam in February after two failed marriages, revealed he did not see his wife\u2019s face until the nuptial ceremony.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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. ‘The only idea I had of what she looked like came from an old photograph I had seen in her house,\u201d he was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
The reason being that Bushra could not meet men other than her husband with her face uncovered, nor even venture outside her house unveiled. 39-year-old Bushra is a mother-of-five, and when she met the former Pakistan captain first in 2015, she was still married to her first husband, named Khawar Fareed Maneka who was a senior customs official.<\/p>\n
Imran first got married to British heiress Jemima Goldsmith, until they divorced in 2004 after a period of nine years. Soon after, he got married to former BCC presenter Reham Khan \u2013 who was also British.<\/p>\n
But their relationship fell apart after 10 months in 2015 with Reham later accusing Imran of being bisexual, taking hard drugs and adultery in her recent book.<\/p>\n
Imran responded by saying, \u201c’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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 65-year-old further mentioned that his outlook towards relationships has changed over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have gradually realised that although I know more about physical attraction than anyone else, actually the character of a person and the mind, the intellect, is much more important than the physical, because in my experience that has the smallest shelf life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
