He wrote:

My brother-in-law @ImranKhanPTI is a good and honourable man, motivated only by a strong desire to do good by his country. His record as PM is exceptional, most of all on the biggest issue of our time: Pakistan under Imran is now a world leader on environmental restoration.”

Right after his tweet, mixed comments started pouring in with some people calling him a Jew agent and others supporting him. Take a look!

Goldsmith is the founder and CEO of London-listed investment firm Menhaden, which focuses on the theme of energy and resource efficiency. Born into the wealthy Goldsmith family, Ben and Jemima are the children of financier James Goldsmith and Lady Annabel Goldsmith.

The former Prime Minister of Pakistan – Imran Khan has mostly been a part of controversies when it comes to his love life. Be it Jemima Goldsmith, Reham Khan, or Bushra Maneka, he has always been trolled for his distinctive choice of women.

In 1995, Goldsmith married Imran Khan, a Pakistani cricketer who later went on to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan. They had two sons, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim. Goldsmith was a close friend of Diana, Princess of Wales, who visited her in Lahore in 1996.

They tied the knot in a Nikkah ceremony. They also had a civil ceremony on 21 June 1995 in London. A few months before her wedding, she converted to Islam. After her marriage to Khan, she relocated to his hometown, Lahore, Pakistan, where she learned to speak Urdu and also wore traditional Pakistani clothes.

The couple divorced in 2004. Following her divorce, she returned to London and later became involved in a romantic relationship with Hugh Grant. Later, the British journalist split with Hugh too.
