Imran Khan denies trouble in marriage

Khan, who turned his fame as a top cricketer into a career as a social activist and politicians, said he had informed his wife about the “drama” White staged at a Los Angeles fund-raising dinner for the cancer hospital he has built in his hometown Lahore.

White, a US socialite, turned up at the dinner with her seven-year-old daughter, whom she claimed Imran had fathered, which Imran denies. Their meeting led to reports in the British press that Jemima wanted a separation from Imran Khan.

“How could I stop someone fromcontribution to a public charity or stop someone from attending a public dinner,” he told The News.

Khan said his wife could not accompany him on the fund-raising trip to the US because she was pregnant. “She will remain in London until the birth of our second child,” he said.

An Imran aide said Sita staged a “small drama” by making a sudden appearance and being photographed with him. It was a “set-up”, the aide, Mehmood Aman said.
