As concerns intensify over the health of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, public attention has increasingly shifted toward his family — particularly his two sons, who have largely remained out of the political spotlight. While Khan’s journey from cricket legend to political leader has been widely documented, the lives of his children have mostly unfolded away from the glare of media and political controversy.
Today, however, as Khan faces legal battles and imprisonment, interest in his sons — Sulaiman Isa Khan and Kasim Khan — has grown significantly.
Where Are Imran Khan’s Sons Now?
Sulaiman and Kasim Khan were born during Imran Khan’s marriage to British socialite and journalist Jemima Goldsmith. Following their parents’ separation, the two brothers were primarily raised in the United Kingdom.
Unlike their father, who rose to global fame as Pakistan’s World Cup-winning cricket captain in 1992 and later became Prime Minister, Sulaiman and Kasim have chosen relatively private lives. Both have largely stayed away from direct political involvement and public commentary, focusing instead on their personal and professional paths in London.
Despite their distance from Pakistan’s political scene, they have remained emotionally connected to their father. Over the years, they have occasionally expressed support for him, particularly during times of political upheaval and legal trouble.
Growing Concerns Over Imran Khan’s Health
Recently, attention around the brothers intensified after they publicly raised concerns about their father’s reported health condition while in custody. Imran Khan has been facing multiple legal cases and has been detained amid ongoing political tensions in Pakistan.
According to international media reports, Sulaiman and Kasim have sought permission from Pakistani authorities to visit their father, stating that they have not seen him in more than two years. Their statements reflected both personal concern and frustration over the situation.
Kasim Khan reportedly expressed how emotionally challenging the prolonged separation has been, saying it is difficult not to feel low after being away from their father for such a long time.
Sulaiman Isa Khan, meanwhile, questioned whether authorities were hesitant to allow their visit because of the potential public attention it might generate. His remarks hinted at the political sensitivity surrounding Imran Khan’s detention and legal proceedings.
Legal Developments in Pakistan
Meanwhile, developments continue on the legal front. A district and sessions court in Pakistan recently extended Imran Khan’s pre-arrest bail in multiple cases. Among these is a case linked to the alleged attempted murder of former minister Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha.
The court reportedly directed the prosecution to ensure Khan’s appearance at the next hearing, either in person or through a video link. These legal proceedings add another layer of uncertainty to an already complex political landscape.
A Family Under Public Scrutiny
For years, Sulaiman and Kasim maintained a life far removed from Pakistan’s political turbulence. However, as their father’s situation evolves, they have found themselves drawn into public discourse. Their comments reflect not only concern for their father’s wellbeing but also the broader emotional toll that political conflict can take on families.
While Imran Khan’s cricketing achievements and political career have defined much of his public identity, the voices of his sons now offer a more personal dimension to the ongoing story. Whether they will take a more active role in defending or supporting him publicly remains uncertain.
What is clear is that as questions continue over Imran Khan’s health and legal battles, attention will likely remain on both the former prime minister and the family waiting to see him.
