Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan's ex-wife Reham Khan has been sued over her upcoming tell-all, where she has apparently included details of her interactions with various celebrities both in the cricketing world as well as politics. Reham has also been accused of painting Imran in bad light.
Reham has been sued by businessman Zulfikar Bukhari, her first husband Ijaz Rehman, cricketer Wasim Akram and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf spokesperson Anila Khawaja. According to a notice issued by British law firm Sweetman Burke and Sinker, each of these people received copies of the manuscript of Resham's book from an anonymous source.
The book contains “a litany of malicious, false, incorrect, highly misleading, callous, wanton, tortious, prejudicial, damaging, libellous, and defamatory imputations” directed towards the filers, the law firm said.
In the book, Reham has accused Bukhari of arranging an abortion for a young woman allegedly impregnated by Imran. She has also accused Bukhari of violence and cruelty towards her.
The notice sent by the British law firm has asked Reham to avoid publishing the manuscript in its current form and to provide in writing that the allegations against the above mentioned celebrities are false and defamatory.
Meanwhile, several people have accused Reham of colluding with opposition parties to malign Imran's image ahead of the general elections in July.
Taking to Twitter, Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi called out Reham for portraying Imran in a terrible light, writing: "Had a very unfortunate experience of reading a manuscript of Reham Khans book. Here is the summary: IK is the most evil man to walk the face of this planet. Reham is the most pious righteous (Tahajjud guzaar) woman ever and Shehbaz Sharif is an amazing guy! #RehamOnPMLNAgenda."
Reham hit back asking how the actor managed to get hold of a portion of the manuscript before the launch of the book.
The journalist wrote: "How do you know who is mentioned and who isn't? Have you hacked a copy of my book too? My life has taken me to a lot of places and down many roads. It mentions many people but doesn't focus on anyone except me."
