After much speculations and confirmation of third marriage, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has disclosed details about his possible marriage with Bushra Maneka.

During an interview with a private TV channel, Khan said that he only had spiritual relations with Maneka, to whom he proposed marriage after her divorce. He added that it is 'now up to God' whether his proposal would be accepted or not.

Responding to a question about all the rumours of his third marriage, the PTI chief said, “It hurts me to talk about the matter because she [Maneka] belongs to a very conservative family and observes the purdah. This woman has observed purdah for most of her life. It hurt her family’s sentiments. Every time I have interacted with her, she has been in purdah… This story has caused her so much embarrassment,” local media reported.

“I met her [Maneka] almost two years ago. I will like to reiterate that every time I met her, with family and alone, she has been in purdah. My interest in her lies in the fact that I have not seen or met anyone with her level of spirituality,” he added.

He further said that so far he has only sent a proposal and will let people know if things move further.
