Reham Khan, journalist and former wife of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan released her tell-all biography online earlier this month.

The book, as expected, received a lot of pre-release hype because of all the controversial details on the PTI chairman.

Lahore-based blogger, Sarmad Iqbal spoke to some of the Pakistani youth, to elicit their response on Reham Khan’s book. A couple of them lauded and admired Reham Khan’s strength in being able to speak against her powerful ex-husband.

I think it’s very brave of her, especially considering who her ex-husband is. She is remarkable for bringing all these things out in the open and being so honest about everything.

There were a few who doubted her intentions and timing for the release of the book.

Releasing this book just day before the election shows how politically motivated it is. Even if it is not politically motivated, it’s based on personal vendetta and revenge.

According to the these students, book only portrays Imran Khan as “a person of lust” and “sexual predator”.

Reham has alleged that Imran is not just an adulterer and sexual predator but is also an active Zionist.
