In the end, being Mrs Imran Khan couldn't protect me. Even the divorce announcement couldn't stop the hate campaign waged in the press to demolish my character.

Although people have different perceptions, I personally define myself as a mother. My life has been revolving around children since a young age. Before my marriage, I was involved with my siblings' kids, so I can be called a mother figure in the family.

I married Imran Khan when he was not winning elections.

A woman might be from higher sociology economic background and in a high powered profession but may be enduring severe violence at home.

I give my children a lot of freedom, which I suppose a lot of parents don't do. I do have rules but nothing like no noise, no music.

We should have equal rights. We should have equal opportunities. We should have equal opportunities for jobs.

I think Imran has the tendency to pick the worst qualities from other politicians. What I meant when I told him to follow Modi's model was that gain experience of being a CM for ten years in a challenging province and then target the PM's chair.

I have always felt it was my duty to protect my family. After Imran became family, I defended him in every way.

I always maintain that rights always come with responsibilities.

Maybe I wasn't meant to have everything - personal happiness doesn't seem to be on the cards.

I really think some people have an aptitude for being parents while others don't.

I am keen to create opportunities for women and youth leaders. I want to get women voters registered and protected.

In politics, you must never forget that everything is analysed.

I am very clear that Pashtun rights should be provided.

The ideal woman is one that suffers quietly, dictates patriarchy.

I'm the sort of person who panics if my family is not looking right.

Those who are looking to seek power must make wise judgements.

Good performance in government was never Imran's target.

Belgian shepherds are hard work, but I realised that they were still easier than most grown men.

We must find ways to encourage more professional women to participate in politics.
