It’s a reverse trousseau. What is? All the stuff that the former national bhabi has been sent back by Imran Khan. Yes, the same stuff that she had brought in to the Xanadu at Bani Gala at the time of the short-lived marriage.

Now, the trousseau in question has a lot of expensive crockery and carpets. Her former husband, Dr Ijaz Rehman, claims that all this was at his expense, not that he’s claiming any of it back.

Imran Khan, in his half-hearted apology to the reporter who had asked about his personal life the other day, said he has respect for his former wife.

He must have been talking about Jemima, because with Reham Khan, he didn’t have enough respect to send her the divorce papers till she was safely away in London.

Or is this “respect” specifically designed to enforce some sort of gag order that Imran Khan’s friend Zulfi Bukhari is believed to be trying to arrange these days?
