TV show host Reham Khan, Imran Khan's former wife, is unapologetic about standing her ground, this time, against her employers at a local news channel.

The former BBC Weather host took to Twitter on Thursday to shun rumours regarding her termination as host of the news channel, saying she is yet to receive a call from her employers. She went on to call them out, claiming they have failed to pay their staffers in over two months.

Haji Atiya | 7 years ago | Reply @ruth: Agreed with your first paragraph. But second paragraph should be amended to read: "She needs to be in a country where phony credentials and half-baked theories and outright lies are welcomed...". However, if that statement is accepted, then your first paragraph becomes invalid ! Over to you, ace.
