Reham Khan (Pashto/Urdu: ریحام خان; born 3 April 1973) is a British Pakistani journalist and film producer.[7] She currently hosts talk show The Reham Khan Show on Dawn News.[8] She is married to politician and former cricketer and U turn Master Imran Khan[9]

Personal life

Khan was born to Dr. Nayyar Ramzan, a physician. She is ethnically from the Lughmani, a sub-clan of the Swati tribe,[7] and hails from Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[7] Her parents moved to Libya in the late 1960s, where Reham was born in Ajdabiya in 1973. She has one sister and one brother.[7]

Khan has a Bachelor Degree in Education from Jinnah College for Women, Peshawar, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan,[5][10] and started a course in Sociology but due to a change in her personal circumstances she switched to a one year postgraduate course, Diploma in Broadcast Media, at Grimsby Institute, United Kingdom, which ended in 2006[5][6] and she did a 4 week placement with the BBC as part of the course.[6] In order to fund her studies, she started looking for jobs and consequently ended up juggling two jobs at Legal TV and Sunshine Radio.[6][11] She married Ejaz Rehman (Spelling variants include Ijaz), her first cousin and British psychiatrist, when she was 19. Following their divorce, Khan began working as a broadcast journalist.[7] She has three children who have lived with her since the divorce, desiring no contact with their father which resulted in a court order and sole custody to Reham Khan.[12] In January 2015, Khan spoke at length about her past experiences of domestic violence on Khara Sach with Mubasher Luqman. Her ex-husband has denied all claims. Reham's son Sahir Khan has repeatedly supported his mother's statements, and stated that he changed his surname as soon as he could following the divorce.[13][12][14][15]

On 6 January 2015, Imran Khan confirmed his marriage to Reham, ending months of speculation.[3][16][17][18]

Controversy

On July 15, 2015, Mr. Sebastian Shakespeare for The Daily Mail reported in his story[19] that Khan’s personal website states[20] that she started a postgraduate course ‘in Broadcast Journalism at North Lindsay [sic] College’, in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, however, according to officials at North Lindsey, it has never offered such a course as it does not teach journalism at all nor has Reham's name in its records. Only after a social media uproar,[5][21][12] Khan's personal website was amended and the name of the institution was changed[20] from North Lindsey College to Grimsby Institute, North East Lincolnshire.[6]

Career

Khan started her career in 2006 hosting shows on Legal TV. In 2007, Reham began presenting for Sunshine Radio Hereford and Worcester.[11] In 2008, Khan joined BBC as broadcast journalist.

In 2013, Khan came to Pakistan and joined Pakistani news channel News One. She later joined Aaj TV. In 2014, following a brief stint at PTV, she joined Dawn News presenting the current affairs show In Focus. Following a brief hiatus in early 2015, she resumed her work with a new show on Dawn. The Reham Khan Show, a programme celebrating Pakistani heroes, debuted in May.

Khan has also produced an upcoming Pakistani film Janaan with Imran Kazmi. The romantic comedy set in Swat, written by Osman Khalid Butt and directed by Azfar Jafri is set for release in early 2016.[22]
