Reham Khan, the former wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf or PTI Chairman Imran Khan, said on Friday that her upcoming autobiography has become controversial not because it was leaked but for revealing the truth.
"My book has been receiving criticism not because of getting leaked but for the truth it includes. Even if I write the book or not, everyone knows the fact," Ms Khan, a social activist and a journalist, told news agency ANI.
She said she has received death threats over her upcoming book.
"I have received death threats for releasing the book. I was also threatened to be defamed for the same. This is very depressing but I'm an optimistic person. These things don't pull me down in life," she added.
The autobiography, which has prompted court notices from her political rivals, reportedly includes details of her interactions with celebrities and her marriage with Imran Khan.
Ms Khan said people should not be afraid of her autobiography as it only revolves around her life struggles, adding the book showcases how to conduct oneself and overcome failures.
"The book is all about my life...the struggles and how I overcame it. After reading my book, many women will find a small part of themselves in it. I hope and pray that all that has happened to me should never happen to anyone. This book showcases how to conduct oneself, overcome failures and what led to my mistakes," she said.
"It's also about my journey of entering into journalism, becoming an anchor and the glamorous life which I once owned. How I changed my culture from one to another. I'm very frank and open in my book. People who are afraid should not be because it's all about me and my life," she added.
Earlier, Imran Khan had filed a petition to stop Reham Khan's autobiography from being published Pakistan, following which a stay order was issued on her book launch.
