Reham Khan, ex-wife of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, has cooked up quite a storm with her just-released autobiography. Reham has ripped into her ex-husbands including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan.
But there is one man who Reham has only praise for in her 445-page autobiography.
Back in 2008, Reham crossed paths with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. She was employed with a news channel back then and was left stunned by Shah Rukh’s friendliness and politeness.
“…I became the face of a leading personal injury firm, and popularised the catchphrase “Don’t delay, Claim Today”. One of their adverts was targeted at the Pakistani and Indian community and became extremely popular as I appeared in it next to The King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan,” writes Reham in her book.
“The commercial was shot in 2008 after an event at the Olympia, the London Mela, organised by a private Indian channel. I hosted a stage for the stars to meet and greet the fans,” she continues.
At the event, Shah Rukh Khan was the ‘main attraction’.
“I was impressed by his professionalism and his lack of arrogance; this was an educated, well-brought up man of a middle-class family; friendly, with polite restraint, and not one bit of the diva he could so easily have been,” writes the former BBC broadcast journalist.
