The journalist and ex-wife of Prime Minister Imran Khan, Reham said on Monday that her book will be remembered 20 years after her death but she did not know that it would attract so much public interest and would gain publicity.

Talking to reporters at Karachi Press Club, she said "Every effort was made to put an end to this story before the election, but I am very grateful to the 'critics' who made it very popular."

She was referring to her autobiography published in 2018, after her divorce from Imran Khan, eportedly includes details of her interactions with celebrities and her marriage.

The book has prompted court notices from her political rivals, including more recently PTI's Murad Saeed who has served Reham with a legal notice for false claims made in the book.

Reham said she wrote the book with the intention of writing her experiences, adding that it only revolved around her life struggles and that the book showcased how to conduct oneself and overcome failures.

She said that she had been planning to come to Karachi and to hold a press conference for a long time.

"I want to support a new generation of journalists, v-logers. In fact, we are talking about narratives, but our narrative is with someone else. We should write our own story. I still have democracy in my mind," she said.

During her interaction with the press on Monday, Reham said some people also thought that she was a political figure. "People thought so even when I was cooking 'Shami kebabs' in Bani Gala," she said.

"There is nothing wrong with getting involved in politics. We should all involve in politics, but the major issue is for whom to vote. When you do not know which political party is following which ideology or raising which issue, then how can we support anyone?" she questioned.

She said that at present the ruling party and the opposition are all on the streets.

"I cannot not understand who is in the parliament and who is working for the institutions? When the whole country is in a sit-in, who will do it?" she asked adding that the politicians should talk about economy in the assembly.

Responding to a question, Reham said that Imran Khan's "Blackberry" did not belong to her or her family but it was in "safe" hands. "Whether I stay or not, it will remain the Blackberry."

She was referring to the prime minister's phone whose private messages and correspondence has been the source of much speculation.
