I admire Imran Khan. I admire him not only because he is handsome, which he is even at his 54 years, but also because he stands for a mysterious charm that one finds missing in many celebrities.
Imran captained Pakistan’s cricket team when it won the ICC world cup in 1992. Later, when he married the pretty Jemima, daughter of British billionaire, James Goldsmith, it became the talk of the town. His flamboyance has won him many a woman’s heart, not the least that of Sita White, whose daughter Tyrian he is said to have fathered.
Now in domestic politics, Imran aspires to become his country’s head to lead a democratic government. That however appears a long way off. In the meantime, he remains busy with Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, which he founds in early 90s, named after her mother who died from cancer.
His achievements notwithstanding, Imran doesn’t mind marrying again provided he gets the ‘right’ partner. He says this in an interview to Anandabazar Patrika (appearing in its Nov 18 issue). Looking at his exuberant pose in the picture, one feels the day is not far when we hear his wedding bells again. [Image source]
