Reham Nayyar Khan (Template:Lang-ur; born 3 April 1973) is a Libyan-born British Pakistani[5] journalist, author, and filmmaker.[1][7]

Personal life

Reham was born to Nayyar Ramzan, a Pakistani physician.[8] She is ethnically of Pashtun origins[9] from the Lughmani clan, a sub-clan of the Swati tribe.[1] She is fluent in four languages which include English , Urdu, Pashto and her ancestral Hindko.[10] Her family hails from the town of Baffa, lying 15 km west of Mansehra in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.[11] Her parents moved to Libya in the late 1960s, where Reham was born in Ajdabiya in 1973. She has one sister and one brother.[1]

She is the niece of Abdul Hakeem Khan who was a former governor of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and former Chief Justice of Peshawar High Court.[12]

Reham has a Bachelor Degree in Education from Jinnah College for Women, Peshawar[13]

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.[1] She has three children who have lived with her since the divorce.[14][15][16]

On 6 January 2015, Imran Khan confirmed his marriage to Reham which ended on 30 October 2015 in a divorce.[6][17][18]

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 2015.[20] In December 2015, she started a new talk show by the name of Tabdeeli on Neo TV. Tabdeeli (change) is also a political slogan of Imran Khan, her former husband.[21] Reham left Neo TV in June 2016.
