After former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ex-wife Reham Khan released a book in August 2018 detailing her tumultuous and short-lived marriage, Pakistani actress, Hajira Panezai, has made serious allegations against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman in her book, The News has reported.
Actress Hajira Khan’s memoir, titled “WHERE THE OPIUM GROWS: Surviving Pakistan as a Woman, an Actress And Knowing Imran Khan,” was published in America in 2014.
In the book, she reflects on her experiences with the PTI Chairman. The actress revealed that in her last book, many important things were deleted, but now she is going to publish a book with significant details.
She explained how she was chased by popular individuals, calling it a “dark experience”.
Panezai also claimed that her social media accounts were hacked by Imran Khan’s team, adding that she was forced to leave Pakistan as the PTI chairman was afraid of being exposed by her.
The actress worked with Geo in 2009, and appeared in a film titled Pinky Memsaab in 2018. Hajira Khan claimed that her book is based on true stories, while the book is being launched in Islamabad today.
British-Pakistani journalist Reham Khan has addressed rumours that she has divorced her husband Mirza Bilal. Speaking in a six-minute video, Reham confirmed that the news is fake, criticising trolls for being invested in her personal life.
“Whether I get married 12 times or get divorced 12 times, it’s none of your bloody business,” Reham said. “If you gave this much attention to your own life, career and your children, you would be so much better.”
Her husband was seated next to her.
“Whoever’s sleep got disturbed because of our marriage, first of all I want to tell them they can sleep now peacefully. Whoever was upset they don’t need to stay worried any longer, we have taken care of our issues.”
Reham tied the knot with Mirza Bilal in an intimate ceremony in Seattle last year, and revealed the news on social media by calling it the happiest day of her life by marrying someone “who will be around me in my darkest hour”.
Journalist Javed Chaudhry has published another column containing sensational claims about Imran Khan. In the article published on Thursday, Chaudhry gave details of a discussion he had with Khan’s former close aide, Awn Chaudhry. Over breakfast, the two discussed a host of issues including how the former Prime Minister came to marry his third wife, Bushra Bibi.
The journalist wrote that Khan met Bushra Bibi after his divorce from Reham Khan in November 2015 at Bibi’s ex-husband Khawar Farid Maneka’s residence. Later, she rented a three-kanal house in Bani Gala, Islamabad. After that, Khan started to meet Bushra daily.
Awn Chaudhry told the journalist that Bibi first offered her daughter’s hand in marriage to Imran Khan. However, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman turned down the proposal as she was quite young.
Javed wrote that Awn was told by Khan in December 2016 that they would be going to Lahore for his and Bushra Bibi’s nikkah.
Awn revealed that Bibi asked for Imran Khan’s Bani Gala house in her Haq Meher. Javed claimed that Awn said that he didn’t agree to this demand, however, Khan immediately agreed. Later, Imran Khan’s primary residence in Zaman Park Lahore house and a seven-kanal plot in Bani Gala were written in Haq Meher for Bibi.
About Reham and Khan’s marriage, Awn said that Khan gave Reham a divorce the moment she landed in London in 2015, Javed claimed. He went on to say that Awn recalled that Imran Khan was depressed about the divorce and he had never seen him as worried as he was.
Javed wrote that Awn told him that the divorce took place after Khan consulted Bushra Bibi on the matter.
Celebrity public news is an unnecessary but amusing part of our lives. We abhor it but we love the small distraction it provides us from our daily lives. We hear headlines about a celebrity getting married, getting engaged, or promoting some diet tea product and move on. But there are a few times when a celebrity begins trending not because of an announcement but also because of a disturbing rise of misogynist backlash that pales in comparison to how a male public figure would be dealt with. And we cannot ignore this trend and go about our day, because it reflects on how publicly, women are made to face the same kind of scrutiny and slut-shaming that men aren’t subjected to at all.
This morning, Reham Khan announced her marriage to 36-year-old Mirza Bilal Baig. Minutes later, the ex-television host was trending across platforms. There was a wave of posts congratulating the journalist and filmmaker and sending her warm wishes for her future. The feel-good factor was quickly overshadowed by a tsunami of trolls sending hateful comments trolling Khan for the 13 year age-gap in her marriage, calling her all sorts of slurs, assumptions that she is power-hungry and selfish for wanting to marry a younger man when she is in her forties.
Some of the comments, like this Bashir here, seems to assume Reham is a man-eater for marrying someone younger than her. Would he say the same for male politicians marrying and discarding their young wives as soon as they get bored?
Or like this man jumping in the bandwagon to accuse Reham of being a gold digger, marrying famous men to write explosive books about them. Sir jee, women don’t exist in boxes to depend on men in order to make their own fame. Reham Khan had a career before she married Imran Khan. She didn’t need him to make her place in the public sphere. No woman should be reduced to her personal connections, her hard work counting for naught.
If the men were not enough , a lot of women can’t find it in them to support another woman comfortably living her own life and doing whatever she wants. Like this one calling her ‘graceless’ and unwilling to settle down. Why should you put an age limit to settling down and getting married? Women don’t die after their forties. They cannot suddenly stop living life and exploring what they like. As far as Reham’s multiple marriages go, Islam has granted both men and women equal permission to marry or divorce, so she has not committed any crime.
As a popular feminist slogan goes: ‘Sexism is a social disease’. It reduces women down to mere objects, forces them to deal with the endless unsolicited comments from not only men in their lives, but outside their homes consistently. It demands them to keep moulding themselves according to what other people think of them, and never seek their own independence or choices. When the truth is: women don’t need to keep justifying their choices to others.
We saw this previously with Churails actress Yasra Rizvi, when she faced an endless amount of hateful comments calling her ‘gold digger’ and ‘power hungry’ when she married a man ten years younger than her. Last year after rumors spread of a split between the two, Rizvi uploaded a post of the couple reminding everyone that they chose to remain blissful about their union, despite what haters think.
Hopefully, with Reham Khan and other public figures finally putting the notion of settling in your 20s in its grave, our audiences, especially mard hazarat, can come to respect women as multi-facated beings who don’t need to get married at the age of 25 and give up on life. It’s necessary for women to realise that they don’t owe an explanation about their decisions to random men, and it doesn’t make them a failure if they choose to marry later in their lives.
Actor Muneeb Butt in his recent interview with host Tabish Hashmi, made some revelations about his caste. The Daldal star stated that his cast, pronounced as ‘Butt’ in Pakistan, is originally Bhatt. However when the Kashmiris migrated to Pakistani Punjab from India, the caste name became Butt from Bhatt due to the Punjabi dialect.
“Originally it is Bhatt, not Butt, when Kashmiris migrated here, the name became Butt. People in Punjab pronounce words differently, such as bhai (brother) became paen. They don’t use B and H together.”
Earlier in an interview with Waseem Badami did not hesitate to call out the government, which promised to give a Rs 2,000 monthly subsidy to all citizens earning less than Rs40,000.
Shedding light on inflation, the Qarar hero had a hilarious response to what the government has to offer to the needy. He joked sarcastically and said he will marry off his daughter with that Rs2,000.
“I have kept them in the bank. I will buy a plot with the remaining amount.”

In June 2022, Butt took to his Twitter handle to slam the ruling party after another increase in petrol prices.
He also termed PML-N as a “weak party”.
The Baandi hero also slammed writer and former journalist, Reham Khan on twitter amidst her recent controversy with actor Mishi Khan.
Butt sarcastically told her that he wants to cast her as naagin (snake) in his forthcoming serial.
Former National Assembly member and television host Dr. Aamir Liaquat took to his Instagram handle to lash out at former PM Imran Khan.
The Aalim Online host has held Imran responsible for his recent split with wife Dania Shah.
He also accused Imran of paying Dania so that she seeks divorce from him. Aamir went on to predict Imran’s divorce, and predicted that Bushra Bibi will leave him.
Earlier this month he reacted to the speculation about his potential marriage with journalist and former PM Imran Khan’s ex-wife Reham Khan.
The Neelam Ghar host reacted to a netizen’s tweet that if he and Reham actually get married then they’ll have a son like Atta Tarar.
Aamir replied that the answer will soon come from the skies. He also took a jibe at PTI by saying that there is justice on the skies and not Tehreek-e-Insaaf.
The veteran host stated recently stated that sources from FIA have informed him that PTI’s social media team is behind his character assassination on social media to make Imran Khan happy as he was upset with Liaquat for ditching PTI at a crucial stage.
Aamir also dragged Fawad Chaudhry’s name in the matter and stated that he overlooks the social media department.
The Current reached out to Former focal person on digital media to former PM Khan, Dr Arsalan Khalid who dismissed these claims and exclusively said, “Aamir is so irrelevant that we don’t even think about him.”
Prior to his seperation with Dania Shah, he published a video message against Khan.
Aamir claimed that ever since Imran has met Russian President Vladimir Putin, he has become like him, adding adjectives like “stubborn, ill-mannered and rebellious.
Last month the Aalim Online star posted a series of video in which he expressed his anger on PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s statement in which he called out politicians who left his political party.
Aamir said that he is not a traitor, instead former PM Imran Khan is the traitor according to him. The veteran host also slammed PM Khan for dissolving the assembly.

Actor Feroze Khan took to his Instagram stories to take a dig at vice president of PML-N, Maryam Nawaz. The Tich Button star shared a statement of Maryam in which she is referring to former President Asif Ali Zardari as “Naik seerat and Paak Daman.”
Feroze stated, “Mujhe baksh dey yaar.”
Recently he complimented former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s physical appearance. The Habs star termed Imran as a “sexy beast” by attaching an old interview of PTI chairman.
TheKhaanihero also shared a rare interview of Khan.
The Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 hero has often expressed his support for PTI and Imran Khan.
Recently when Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Wednesday that he was forced into politics at a young age. “I didn’t choose this life, it chose me,” said Bilawal in interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson.
After this interview of his went viral, Feroze termed him as a cartoon.
Actress Mathira was quick to slam him for his derogatory remarks for the young politician. Taking to her Instagram stories, the Blind Love star called out the Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 hero for bully labeling Bilawal as ‘cartoon’. She added that its a very mean thing to say to anyone.
Mathira concluded by saying that Bilawal is different but he’s the best.
Recently when Writer and former journalist, Reham Khan shared a video with PML-N leaders, in which the Janaan producer can be seen saying to Imran Khan, “Kidhar hai Niazi? Dar gaya kya?”, Feroze and Adeel Chaudhry slammed Reham for the video.
While the Gul-e-Rana star termed her as ‘snake’, Adeel claimed that she is a horrible person.
Film producer-journalist Reham Khan took to her twitter handle to take a jibe at her ex-husband, Imran Khan. She re-shared his viral video in which the former PM can be seen fixing his hair.
Actor-host Mishi Khan called out Reham for her remark by saying that she won’t get another chance (of being his wife).
Earlier Mishi slammed the Janaan producer for her statements against showbiz celebs extending support to the former Prime Minister.
The Nikaah star turned to Twitter to call out Reham for terming the showbiz celebs as ‘mummy daddy actors’, as the latter blamed the entertainment fraternity for not ‘raising their voice against Kashmir issue the way they are doing so against no-confidence vote’.
In a video message shared by Khan on the micro-blogging site, she asked the journalist, “Why didn’t you take that step and supported Kashmir? Whom were you waiting for?”
“You are always available to dictate us actors but when the Kashmir issue surfaced you were giving weather reports at BBC, teaching Salsa steps, and was busy with your luxurious foreign lifestyle,” she further remarked.
“We are aware of the Kashmir issue and doing the needful for the cause, you shouldn’t preach us.”
Furthermore, dubbing Reham as ‘speedy Gonzalves’, the ‘Janaan’ actor said in the video, “On behalf of the actors’ fraternity, we have all the right to support whoever we want to. You should continue with your job of recording irrelevant videos at National Assembly which is actually prohibited, and let us do ours.”
Her message was followed by Reham’s reply who snubbed Mishi by asking netizens if she is the same friend of Imran Khan whom, Reham casted in Janaan in the role of Hania Aamir’s paternal aunt?
“Oh isn’t she that friend of Imran I cast as the phuppo (aunt) in my film Janaan?”
Reham’s tweet rubbed Mishi the wrong way and she replied to it in another video.
Film producer-journalist and ex-wife of chairman PTI Imran Khan, Reham Khan recently took jibes at her former husband on Twitter.
She shared how Imran has ‘served better to the enemies of the state than Kulbhushan Jadhav. Responding to a tweet, she shared, “He won’t stop! We should stop giving him so much attention. Let’s focus on the road ahead. Let’s focus on unifying the nation.”
She urged netizens to stop giving Imran any attention. She also wants everyone to focus on “unifying the nation”.
In another tweet, she mentioned that when she was married to the former PM, she never asked him for a handbag or any gift as she believed it to be cumbersome.
I put up with a lot of stupid remarks in my marriages! The ironic thing is I have never actually bought a handbag or asked for one as I find it cumbersome. But then speaking the truth has never been his forte. https://t.co/khvbFeQyjV
Now actor Zahid Ahmed took to Instagram and called out Reham on the same tweet. “How about we stop giving you attention, Reham Khan.” He then added, “I mean there are plenty of other snakes in the garden.”
Last week actor-host Mishi Khan called out Reham, for her statements against showbiz celebs extending support to the former Prime Minister.
The Nikaah star turned to Twitter on Monday, slamming for terming the showbiz celebs as ‘mummy daddy actors’, as the latter blamed the entertainment fraternity for not ‘raising their voice against Kashmir issue the way they are doing so against no-confidence vote’.
In a video message shared by Khan on the micro-blogging site, she asked the journalist, “Why didn’t you take that step and supported Kashmir? Whom were you waiting for?”

Federal Minister for Communications Murad Saeed on Sunday served a legal notice to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s former wife, Reham Khan.
Saeed has said that Reham has hurled false allegations against him and done dirty propaganda in her book, “Reham Khan (memoir)“.
Saeed asked for an unconditional apology from Reham within 14 days; otherwise, a defamation suit of Rs1 billion will be filed against her, reports Dawn.
“Tender apology within 14 days from this notice otherwise the court will be requested for her stern punishment and Rs1 billion damages,” said the official announcement.
The news outlet also reports that the minister did not mention the name of Reham Khan while addressing her in the press release.
“Your book was used as a reference for launching malicious propaganda and false allegations,” read the press release.
Last week, Murad Saeed, during a meeting held in the presence of the premier, said that he would file a lawsuit against Reham in London for writing “offensive content” against the prime minister. “Posting false content should be stopped,” he added.
However, PM Khan advised Saeed “not to worry about such matters and focus on his performance as the Opposition is worried these days.”
