Speaking of his third wife, Imran Khan disclosed, “I did not catch a glimpse of my wife’s face until after we were married. I proposed to her without seeing her because she had never met me without her face being covered with a full veil.” “The only idea I had of what she looked like came from an old photograph I had seen in her house.” He does admit that back in the 80s, it would’ve “have been unthinkable if someone had told me I would marry someone whose face I hadn’t seen. I would have thought they were mad.”
But now that he’s married to her, he said, he “was not disappointed” and is “happily married.”
His wife is a Sufi scholar and Imran’s interest in Sufism goes back decades – that’s what drew Imran closer to her. “My interest in Sufism
started 30 years ago. It changed my life,. Sufism is an order with many levels, but I have never met anyone who is as high as my wife. My interest in her began with that.”
