In trying to contain Khan, the system may be unintentionally shaping the very legend it fears.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was 51 when he was executed. Benazir Bhutto Zardari was 54 when she was assassinated. Imran Khan is now 75. He appears physically fitter than most men his age — even after retiring from cricket, he never stopped exercising, and reports say he continues to work out daily in prison. He is also being provided with food of his choice. Yet physical fitness alone cannot shield a man of his age from the toll of imprisonment, especially the psychological strain.

Imran Khan was catapulted to global fame as a World Cup cricket champion, but the man known in the West as a celebrity playboy is now seeking to lead Pakistan as a populist, religiously devout, anti-corruption reformist. Let’s take a look at the many faces of the man.

The Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA) hosted a Diwaniyya-style dialogue that brought together public leaders, scholars, and public policy experts for an open, tradition-inspired discussion on pressing global and regional issues.

The event featured Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, whose participation anchored a wide-ranging conversation on geopolitics, regional challenges, governance, and his vision for Pakistan’s future. The dialogue reflected the Diwaniyya tradition of fostering inclusive, candid exchanges on matters of public importance.

“You think it is a big crisis for me, I don’t,” Imran Khan.
