Pakistan’s former skipper Imran Khan on Sunday said that he has proposed marriage to a woman believed to be a faith healer but denied reports that he had secretly wed her.
Khan’s spokesman in a statement said that he had proposed marriage to Bushra Maneka, who has “asked for time to make a final decision after consulting her family, including her children”.
“It is indeed sad to see this extremely private and sensitive matter be made the subject of an erroneous story leading to all manner of public conjecture,” the notification said, adding that it was “regrettable” that story was reported as it involves “a very private lady who is not in public life.”
“This has put an acceptable burden especially on the children of Maneka and Khan who have had to learn of such a private and intimate issue from media,” he said.
“If and when the proposal is accepted by Maneka for the marriage, Khan will announce it publicly in the proper manner.
