Biography of Reham Khan


Born 3 April 1973.



Reham Khan ( ریحام خان‎) is a British Pakistani journalist and film producer. She currently hosts talk show The Reham Khan Show on Dawn News. She is married to  Imran Khan, Pakistani politician and former cricketer.

Khan was born to Dr. Nayyar Ramzan, a physician. She is ethnically from the Lughmani, a sub-clan of the Swati tribe, and hails from Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Her parents moved to Libya in the late 1960s, where Reham was born in Ajdabiya in 1973. She has one sister and one brother.

Khan has a Bachelor Degree in Education from Jinnah College for Women, Peshawar, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, and started a course in Sociology but due to a change in her personal circumstances she switched to a one year postgraduate course, Diploma in Broadcast Media, at Grimsby Institute, United Kingdom, which ended in 2006 and she did a 4 week placement with the BBC as part of the course. In order to fund her studies, she started looking for jobs and consequently ended up juggling two jobs at Legal TV and Sunshine Radio. She married Ejaz Rehman (Spelling variants include Ijaz), her first cousin and British psychiatrist, when she was 19. Following their divorce, Khan began working as a broadcast journalist. She has three children who have lived with her since the divorce, desiring no contact with their father which resulted in a court order and sole custody to Reham Khan. In January 2015, Khan spoke at length about her past experiences of domestic violence on Khara Sach with Mubasher Luqman. Her ex-husband has denied all claims. Reham's son Sahir Khan has repeatedly supported his mother's statements, and stated that he changed his surname as soon as he could following the divorce.
On 6 January 2015, Imran Khan confirmed his marriage to Reham, ending months of speculation.

Career
Khan started her career in 2006 hosting shows on Legal TV. In 2007, Reham began presenting for Sunshine Radio Hereford and Worcester. In 2008, Khan joined BBC as broadcast journalist.
