Imran Khan's alleged third marriage is Twitter's latest obsession

IK is starting to make more headlines for his rumoured marriages than his political achievements

Updated 07 Jan, 2018

New year, new marriage? Not so fast.

Rumours of Imran Khan's third marriage gave Twitter the newest thing to obsess over. Social media was rife this weekend as reports of PTI Chairman's supposed marriage earlier this month made headlines.

IK's party rejected all such claims on Saturday when the news first broke, but Sunday morning PTI issued a statement claiming that Khan had in fact proposed marriage to Bushra Maneka, a respected Pir (faith healer) in Pakpattan. However, she has yet to "make a final decision" on the matter.

Trust IK to give Twitter a reason to erupt. Here's a round-up of some of the best reactions:

Public service message: Imran Khan is the world's most wanted bachelor

How is it even shocking anymore?

IK's marriage is such a big deal that even our neighbours picked up the news!

And their reporters are taking a dig at him... ap kaun?

Would you like some Burnol for that?

Umm, that escalated quickly... zero chill for this PTI fan

Isn't that always true

Yes, because marriage is only for young people. #Logic

And yet again, Salman Ahmad finds a way to make himself (and his marriage) relevant during IK's rumoured marriage

In desi households shaadi trumps politics... geddit?

It's his own private affair, people in our society really need to grow up!

Why is Imran Khan inviting trouble, Bushra has married children with well connected in laws, now backlash will start. There are so many hassle- free women , why didn't he go for them ?

Sun will rise in the East, set in the West , tomorrow will be another day even if IK gets married or does n't get married. Why this big hoopla ?

Third marriage? Did he get a transplant?

The master of failed marriages !

@SK5 Well said - sadly only the mature public will understand it.

@M.O.R ...Everyone should grow up and behave maturely on any divorce and every consequent marriage.

The Great Khan should be wise enough to seek uncomplicated single women without baggage and hangers on. Plenty of them around.

Zulfiqar Jan 08, 2018 09:43pm

@El Cid is there such a thing as uncomplicated Woman ? Imran needs someone who is at his intellect level so he can atleast have a decent conversation, that is difficult to do with an unmarried younger woman! He’s doing the right thing.

And why not! Marriages are not forbidden. Good Luck to IK.
