Surely by now, everyone knows – 2018 has already given probably the biggest shocker of the year in its initial days. Social media has been nothing less than a hot battleground as the speculations about Imran Khan’s third marriage surfaced. The story was first initiated by Journalist Umar Cheema, who previously was also called ‘a very cheap journalist who came from gutter’ by Imran Khan because of blaming him for a pregnancy scandal that later was proved to be fake.
Pregnancy of 21-year girl is causing sleepless nights to a leader.His political future is in her hands…the most powerful lady these days.

According to The News report that formed the rumors, Khan has entered into a marriage secretively with a woman named Bushra whom he used to turn to for spiritual guidance. The nikkah ceremony took place on 1st January in Lahore. Ever since the news broke, the debate has gotten quite heated up. As per credible PTI sources, the news is nothing but a planted and planned speculation.
Khan’s political secretary Awn Chaudhary completely denounced the news and also informed that he himself had denied the news to Cheema. He further said equated it with ‘yellow journalism’ and called it planted gossip and a concocted story.
This is irresponsible yellow journalism.I had categorically denied the veracity of this planted gossip to cheema. Totally concocted story.

میری تو خواہش ہو گی کہ عمران خان کی شادی ہو اور انھیں ایسا شریک حیات ملے جو انکی زندگی کو خوبصورت بنا ئے، لیکن سیاست سےاس کا کوئ تعلق نھی ۔

Shireen Mazari also expressed her views saying that it’s Khan’s personal matter to whom and when he decides to marry. She was very vocal about her views and said that when the detractors couldn’t damage Khan’s repute by untrue corruption blames, they have started making up lies about his personal life.
For the record, it is Chairman PTI Imran Khan's personal business and no one else’s, when, with whom and where he decides to marry.

Ridiculous! when SC deprives IK's detractors from doing accusatory stories of corruption, they create stories of his "marriage"! Somewhat pathetic too! https://t.co/yqXhaMnnLU

Fawad Chaudhary expressed his views saying that The News has taken up the role of breaking the unverified and fake news. He also added that Umar Cheema has been previously fined for fake news already, that reflects his credibility.
پرانے زمانےمیں گاؤں میں نائیوں کی بیویاں مشہور تھیں کہ لوگوں کی شادیوں اور افئرزُکی افواھیں گرم رکھتی تھیں، آج کل اس گروپ نے یہ کام سنبھالا ہے، صرف چند ماہ پہلے اس عمر چیمہ کو پشاورکی عدالت نے جھوٹی خبروں پر دس لاکھ جرمانہ کیا لگتا ہے کافی نہیں تھا https://t.co/i2FjZxOSzH

Apart from PTI’s prominent leaders, Bilawal Zardari has also shown a neutral response to the news. On asked about Khan’s third marriage, he said that it’s his personal matter. He further added that if there’s no truth to the news, it is unfair for media to speculate false news.

"Its Imran Khan's personal matter. If not true, media should not report false news, & if it has happened, I wish him good luck". pic.twitter.com/TB24yZMjKA— Majid Agha (@Majid_Agha) January 6, 2018

IK is not doing wrong if he does third marriage. People should appreciate it instead of highlight it as negative. I wish him all the very best.

If he has married , Nothing wrong in it.
Don’t dramatise it, No point in hiding or denying it @ImranKhanPTI.Nikkah/ Marriage is Sunath a Nabawi.
Making it a political drama / waiting for right Time to announce is what give spice to the whole News.We expect better from you

Bushra Bibi’s first husband, whom she parted ways with for spiritual reasons, has also refuted the news and said that there is no truth to it. Her son Mohammad Moosa Manika also denied the news while talking to Geo News, saying that he has spoken to his mother about it and she has also denied solemnizing marriage with Khan. He further added that his mother was not present at any gathering in Sector Y, Lahore.
