Family Of Imran Khan
The family of Imran Khan (Urdu: خاندان عمران خان), a Pakistani candidate, former captain of Pakistan cricket team and public figure, includes immediate family members and detached relations from both the fatherly and motherly sides. Khan was born on 25 November 1952 in Lahore to father Ikramullah Khan Niazi, a civil engineer, and mother Shaukat Khanum. He grew up as the only son in the family, with four sisters. The family are culturally of Pashtun origin. Paternally, Khan belongs to the Niazi Pashtun tribe which has long been settled in Mianwali in northwestern Punjab] Khan's mother hailed from the Burki Pashtun tribe settled in Jalandhar (Punjab), which had emigrated a few centuries ago from South Waziristan in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan. Khan's maternal family has produced several great cricketers, the most prominent of whom are Javed Burki and Majid Khan.
From 1995 to 2004, Imran Khan was married to Jemima Khan, a British writer and activist, and member of the influential Goldsmith family of England. They have two sons from the marriage, Sulaiman Khan (born 1996) and Qasim Khan (born 1999). The marriage ended amicably in divorce in 2004. In late 2014, Khan announced his marriage to the British Pakistani journalist Reham Khan.

Khan was born in Lahore, the only son of Ikramullah Khan Niazi, a civil engineer, and his wife Shaukat Khanum A quiet and shy boy in his youth, Khan grew up with his four sisters in relatively affluent (upper middle-class) circumstances and received a privileged education. Khan's parents were enough and practicing Muslims.
Khan's father, Ikramullah Khan Niazi, was a civil engineer who graduated from the Imperial College London in 1946. Ikramullah was a staunch supporter of the Pakistan Movement during the days of the British Raj and was "fiercely anti-colonial"; he would tell off local waiters at the Lahore Gymkhana Club who would speak to him in English. He was also a humanitarian, founding a charity called the Pakistan Educational Society which "funded the university education of underprivileged but talented children." He served as a board member of the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre during his later years.
Khan's mother, Shaukat Khanum, was a housewife. She died in 1985 of cancer. The personal experience of seeing his mother diagnosed with cancer, which became the cause of her death, motivated Khan to build a cancer hospital in Pakistan where those who could not afford expensive care could be treated. In 1994, the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre was founded by Khan in Lahore, and named in memory of his mother.
Siblings
Khan has four sisters, namely Rubina Khanum, Aleema Khanum, Uzma Khanum and Rani Khanum.

During the marriage Jemima actively participated in a Khan led charity drive for the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre and also supported her husband in starting his initial political career.
Rumours circulated that the couples marriage was in crisis. Jemima placed an advertisement in Pakistan newspapers to deny them. It read: "Whilst it is true that I am currently learning for a masters degree at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, it is certainly not true to say that Imran and I are having difficulties in our marriage. This is a temporary arrangement." On 22 June 2004, it was announced that the Khan had divorced ending the nine-year marriage because it was "difficult for Jemima to adapt to life in Pakistan".
The marriage ended amicably. Khan described the six months leading to the divorce and the six months after as the hardest years of his life.

According to the divorce settlement, Khan's sons visit him in Pakistan during their school holidays while he stays with his former mother-in-law, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, when he comes to London to see them.
