‘Some Indians...

He grinned mischievously. ‘There are 5 in total, that I know of.’

‘Five what?!’ I gasped. ‘Kids,’ he laughed.

‘What? You have five illegitimate children! How do you know?’ I asked. ‘Well, the mothers told me,’ he said. ‘All White’s?’

‘No, some are Indians. The eldest is 34 now.’”

She also asked why the other women hadn’t spoken and, according to the book, Imran Khan replied: “Well, because they were all married and they didn’t want their marriages to be destroyed.” Imran also said he had told Jemima, to whom he was married from 1995 to 2004, about these children.

Ahead of their marriage in January 2015, Reham Khan writes, she heard several stories of Imran Khan’s past relationships, and to her surprise, he confirmed a lot of them, including relationships with Bollywood stars.

She writes: “Imran was keen to confirm all the stories I had thought were just rumours. The most famous story, of course, was that of a Bollywood superstar of the ’70s. Considered to be one of the sexiest heroines of all time, there had been rumours of Imran and her. We had heard these whilst we were growing up. Imran confirmed to me that they were true. Though Imran was happy to sexually engage with actresses, he and the family clearly thought little of them.” Reham Khan claims Imran told her he had ended the relationship with the star but a “film producer friend” of the star told her it was “actually Imran who had chased her, and that she had been very financially benevolent towards him”.

She writes, “Imran’s stories always painted the women in an unflattering light. He told me how he met her in Bombay, had his fill, and moved on. But, according to Imran, the lady followed him to London and became clingy.”

India also figured in Imran Khan’s alleged attempts to control Reham Khan after their marriage, which ended in October 2015. She writes how Imran forced her to cancel a visit to New Delhi, where she had been invited to a conference of women journalists in September 2015.
