Jemima Goldsmith reveals why she married Imran Khan

Author: News Desk

Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan tied the knot with British socialite Jemima Goldsmith back in May 1995 and the news caught the world’s attention, but the couple parted ways in 2004.

Jemima Goldsmith has revealed that she wishes she had an arranged marriage like the one at the centre of her new film.

The screenwriter said she believed she was searching for a “moral certainty” when she married Imran Khan at just 21.

Her film, What’s Love Got To Do With It?, was inspired by her time in Pakistan during her nine-year marriage to Khan and centres around the parallel worlds of modern dating and arranged marriages.

Jemima’s upcoming movie starring Sajal Aly is about marriage, but the filmmaker is not going to get hitched anytime soon, she revealed, saying, “I am not against it,” but called it a “high investment, low yield” relationship.

Jemima’s latest project, What’s Love Got To Do With It?, was inspired by her time in the South Asian country when she shifted to Pakistan and its plot revolves around current trends of dating and arranged marriages.
