ISLAMABAD: On the day of her marriage to PTI chairman
Imran Khan, DawnNews anchor Reham Khan Thursday evening made her first
public statement on the channel since her marriage.
The broadcast journalist described what drew her to the PTI chairman on the programme Infocus.
"I was looking for a man who would be a good role model for my children," Reham said.
"Really admire Imran's love for his sons...Pakistani men should emulate his example," she said.
PTI leader Arif Alvi, who was also on the programme, joked with her when she was discussing how she managed to marry the PTI leader.
She joked that she doesn’t have anything to teach Imran Khan saying that that PTI leader is a “very capable” individual.
When asked if she will enter politics, she said that while she has been active in social work she has no interest in politics.
"I don’t think a person such as me could be elected in the current system in Pakistan," she told the programme.
"I am interested in politics as a journalist, observer and historian," she said.
Reham said she will be returning as a host of her show in DawnNews.
The couple wed today in a simple ceremony at the PTI leader’s residence in Bani Gala.
The low-key ceremony, was conducted by Mufti Saeed and was followed by a photo session of the newly-weds.
The cricketer-turned-politician was previously married to English journalist and activist Jemima Goldsmith for nine years. The marriage ended amicably in 2004
Reham Khan was previously married to psychologist Ijaz Rehman, with whom she had three children.
