Imran Khan jokes he might be "third time lucky" in marriage

Imran Khan jokes he might be "third time lucky" in marriage

Should we anticipate wedding bells in the future for the PTI chairman?
19 Nov, 2016

Is PTI chairman Imran Khan alluding to a third marriage? Well, he certainly knows how to joke about one.

At a family friend's daughter's wedding ceremony in London, Imran Khan took to the stage to congratulate the newly weds and on the topic of his marriage he hopes he "may be third time lucky."

He joked about his previous marriages -- to Jemima Goldsmith in 1995 and Reham Khan in 2015 -- and said that he can't give the couple the best advice about marriage given his history, but he wished them all the best anyway.

Taking another jab at himself he said he hopes their marriage is more successful than his.

The crowd greeted his joke with hoots and cheers during his speech.

Considering Imran Khan's first marriage to British-born Jemima, who converted to Islam soon after they tied the knot, the PTI chairman expanded on the marriage of the couple - the husband converted to Islam for the wife - and said, "Islam isn't restricted to race through relations it's about humanity."

Present at the wedding was Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, who shared a table with the Pakistani politician.

IK's third marriage has been the speculation for sometime now, earlier rumours had surfaced of him tying the knot in London in a sneaky ceremony, however, they proved to be false.

The problem is, IK has not been able to get along with his two wives and keep the marriages, how is he going to get along with the people ? There are serious doubts.

Considering Imran's two marriages, based on " love " were flops, I suggest this time he should leave it to his two sisters to arrange a marriage for him. Both earlier marriages were not blessed ( approved ) by his two sisters.

Marriage may cool him down as his short temper place the country into anarchy on small issues

Can't manage his own house, two failed marriages but still wants to manage the entire nation? It will be miracle to see that. Imran Khan never impressed me with any of his conduct so far. He always makes wrong decisions.

It is entirely a personal and private affair and IK should have full liberty in making an appropriate choice for his better half. Our good wishes and prayers for a successful outcome. Aameen!

He is an honest man looking to accomplish best for his country. Hopefully public will realize when IK talks truth comes from his heart and most of the time is bitter. Never met him but I know people like him who say what they meant. No double talk.

IK is still immature in terms of being a national political leader. Pakistan is a very difficult challenge and if he is committed to face the challenge then he has no time for a new relationship.

I am sure he might get lucky but can't say the same for the poor women he will marry. He is in his mid sixties, inflexible, and do not like to share the lime light, can't get along with working women, his career comes first then marriage, bottom line he can't be a good husband, by miracle if he learns to accept other peoples opinion then there is a slim chance for his lucky marriage to succeed.

For someone who has been married for 28 years, I can assure you that you don't need luck to be successful at marriage. It takes willingness to listen to your spouse and allowing her full freedom to do whatever she wishes. Trust, respect, and show of affection is what is needed between a husband and a wife to have a life long marriage.

At his stage in life, marriage should be the furthest thing on his mind. He is a confused man at best in love and politics.
