Imran plans to marry again

Describing his split with Jemima after nine years of marriage as “tragic”, Imran vehemently denied that any other person was involved and insisted that his wife had tried her best to relocate.

“She (Jemima) did everything, but sometimes you do things and do not succeed,” he said, admitting that his passion for Pakistani politics and deepening commitment to public life might have made it more difficult for Jemima to settle down.

“Maybe, if I had been doing something else, or had more time to travel in England or everywhere, it would have been different. But as I said, it all was just very difficult. So that’s all and it is very tragic.”

Imran was visibly upset when he was asked about rumours that a third person contributed to the divorce. “This is utter nonsense. There is no involvement of any third person at all,” he said.
