Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has said that he has sacrificed his children for the politics, adding that her wife could not live in Pakistan and he could not live outside Pakistan.
But he sacrificed for his children as well
In an interview, Imran khan said that i didn’t get remarried after my divorce because my children were young and a child psychologist had told us that divorce doesn’t affect kids as much as a parent getting remarried. So their happiness came first. When they were old enough, I thought I would try again, but it just didn’t work out because when you have grown children and she has grown children, it’s very difficult. There’s your family, her family. It was too complicated.
He sacrifices as if its his responsibility
Further he said that That is not how I look at life. We grow up with fairy tales, but in life there is no happily ever after. And if there were, I would get bored of life. To me, life is interesting when one is struggling. In fact, and this is probably the first time I’m saying it, the only time I lost motivation in my goal to make Pakistan a democratic welfare state and an example for the Muslim world, was when my boys were three and five years old. I just couldn’t tear myself away from my family. And then of course we divorced. So, life has been a struggle and I enjoy the struggle. My motivation for politics has never dipped since, despite many, many disappointments. I enjoy waking up ready for another fight. So my marriages failed, and that’s part of life. You try your best and accept it as the will of God. And I’m very lucky that [Jemima and I] have a great relationship. Even today — 11 years after my divorce — I go and stay with my mother-in-law. The boys come and see me there. She still hasn’t taken my pictures down.
