Reham Khan (Memoir) Reham Khan (memoir) Reham Khanâ™s memoir of married life with Pakistanâ™s new PM is compelling â“ but should be taken with a pinch of salt. Sonali Kokra. September 3, 2018. The first half of Reham Khan's memoir focuses on her own life, the second half deals with her perception of Imran's. Photo / Supplied. Much ink has been spilled in the media, particularly across India and Pakistan, in the run-up to the release of 45-year-old Reham Khanâ™s self-titled memoir (read our interview with her here). Reham Khan was married to the celebrity cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan for a year in 2015. She self-published her memoir in the summer of 2018, revealing facets of her relationship with Imran Khan and the murky world of Pakistan politics to which she has had a ringside view, taking the world by storm. This edition of her much-discussed book now makes her incredible story available to readers in the Indian Subcontinent. Despite all that Reham Reham Khan is a 2018 controversial memoir written by Reham Khan. She is the former wife of Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan. It was published on July 10, 2018 before Pakistani general election, 2018. The book was published by the SK Publications in Pakistan and HarperCollins Publishers in India. Reham called Imran Khan free-loader as he never bought any vegetables. Instead, he got them free from political colleagues like Jahangir Khan Tareen and Tariq Fazal Chaudhary. Other allegations revolve Of course, there is much reason to speculate as to why Reham Khan has decided to go public with her tell-all memoir now. The former Mrs Imran Khan has been accused of selling her soul to the PMLN for the big bucks; to the cool tune of 100,000 GBP. Although the PTI man about town who divulged this figure, Hamza Abbasi, admitted that he was unable to prove the transaction. Indeed, he handed the baton of responsibility to the media in this regard. Which is not an entirely unfair state of play. The rejoinder came after Hamdani, who is a lawyer of Imran Khanâ™s former wife, Reham Khan, pressed Tyrian for her comment regarding a statement attributed to her which suggested that she was mulling legal action against Reham Khan over her poised memoir. âœOur family and those connected to me have been seriously harmed, private details of our family WhatsApp group have been twisted by Reham and made part of her book. I will be Khanâ™s memoir begins with a prologue written in the third person, where she recreates the fateful night in England when she decided to leave her abusive first husband, Ijaz Rehman, even though she had three young children and no money of her own. Reham Khan is still angry and her need to âœexposeâ Imran Khan â“ and his coterie and âœharemâ â“ reduces a part of this book into breathless ranting..

  • Najam Sethi's Editorials
    Najam Sethi’s Editorials (Volume 7) From Blunderland to Plunderland and Back Pakistan under Nawaz Sharif, 2013 - Continue By Najam Sethi Volume: 7: From Blunderland to Plunderland and Back - Pakistan under Nawaz Sharif, 2013 - Continue Old and new scripts May 24-30, 2013 - Vol. XXV, No. 15 The people of Pakistan have posed an existential challenge to the five political parties - the PPP, PMLN, MQM, PTI and ANP - that define and dominate the country's political system. How these parties rise or fall will determine not just their own future but also that of Pakistan. The PPP has been reduced from being a populist anti-establishment national party to a pro-establishment regional party. The challenge before it in the next five years is to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and reinvent itself as a mainstream contender for power under a dynamic new leadership. This is no mean task, given the paucity of leaders and ideas in the party. After leaving the Presidency in September, Mr Asif Zardari is expected to make way for Bilawal Bhutto. But the lad won't be ready to don the mantle of the sole spokesman for many years. Worse, because of continuing neglect and sore disappointment, the ideological PPP voter, rich or poor, has drifted into the camp of the PMLN and PTI in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Wooing it back won't be easy. The PMLN has been upgraded from being a pro-establishment conservative Punjab party into a populist, even anti-establishment, national ruling party with alliance partners in every province.

  • This Paper Focuses on Gender Disparity Behind the Camera, As Seen in Film Industries Worldwide, with a Focus on Contemporary Pakistani Cinema
    This paper focuses on gender disparity behind the camera, as seen in film industries worldwide, with a focus on contemporary Pakistani cinema. Not only is there an obvious lack of gender parity in on-screen film representations, but this disproportionality increases when one looks at the gender of individuals behind the lens. Directors, writers, producers, editors, cinematographers, and composers are just a few of the people who must work y behind the scenes to bring a story to life on the big screen. As in many other industries, women are underrepresented in filmmaking while systemic biases in the film industry inhibit the inclusion of women within all technological departments. This study addresses this inequality by exploring local socioeconomic factors and questions the repercussions of this imbalance on the final screen texts. There has been no previous in- depth analysis of this issue within the Pakistani film industry, hence statistical models are presented using data from mainstream digital films released from 2013 to 2018. This analysis also relies on interviews of individuals currently working in the industry with the goal of including first- Keywords: Gender Disparity, Film Production, Pakistani Cinema, Pakistani Digital Cinema, Female Directors The dominant discourse on gender and film tends to focus on the representation of women on-screen: the unequal power dynamics, the hyper-sexualized objectification, the excessive use of the male gaze, and a conspicuous lack of main-stream female stories. Increasingly though the conversation has started to shift towards issues previously overlooked, including the widening pay gap, misogynistic discrimination and sexual harassment which have led to the emergence of charged global movements such as Me Too and assault in the workplace and more specifically in the film industry.
