Lahore: Former Pakistan cricket team skipper Imran Khan tied the knot for a third time as he married faith healer and mother of five Bushra Maneka on Sunday. With the announcement of the marriage, the cricketer-turned-politician Imran put an end to speculation surrounding the union.
It was earlier reported that Khan had married Bushra Maneka, who is also known as Bushra Bibi or Pinki Pir, on January 1.
However, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday confirmed the marriage, releasing the photos and stated that the ceremony took place at the residence of Bushra’s brother.

The nikah was performed by Mufti Muhammad Saeed who is a member of PTI’s Central Executive Committee.
The marriage to Bushra happens to be the third marriage for 65-year-old Imran and as soon as it became official, Twitter had a field day as they did not spare Pakistan’s World Cup-winning skipper.
