While Imran Khan's former wife, Jemima Goldsmith, did not speak up about the initial arrest, her pro-Imran tweet, after the Supreme Court declared the manner of his arrest illegal, is now doing the rounds. Pakistanis have always "rooted for" the producer and the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, with little effort placed on hiding the fact that they continue to mourn the separation.
Thus, when Jemima tweeted, "Finally sense has prevailed," attaching a screenshot of the news, Pakistanis who are ever-ready to ship Imran and Jemima, saw this as an opportunity to appreciate the filmmaker and reminisce the days when she was the entire nation's sister-in-law.

Jemima's popularity among Pakistanis can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, her marriage to Imran, who is widely admired in Pakistan as a cricket legend and a prominent political figure, contributed to her visibility and acceptance within the country. Jemima's association with her former husband helped foster positive sentiments towards her.
Secondly, Jemima actively engaged with various charitable and philanthropic initiatives in Pakistan. She demonstrated a genuine interest in the welfare of the Pakistani people and worked on projects related to education, healthcare, and social development. Her dedication to these causes resonated with many Pakistanis, who appreciated her efforts to improve the lives of underprivileged communities.
Additionally, Jemima's respectful approach towards Pakistani culture and traditions endeared her to the local population. Despite being from a different cultural background, she embraced the Pakistani way of life and immersed herself in the country's customs. This earned her the respect and admiration of Pakistanis who appreciated her willingness to embrace their culture.
