Queen of the rom com JEMIMA’S PASSION PROJECT

The former politician’s wife gets our vote with her joyful romantic romp!

- 

Whether she was sitting side by side with her friend Princess Diana or on the arm of her famous cricketer-turned-politician husband Imran Khan, Jemima Khan was in every newspaper and magazine gossip column throughout the late '90s and early noughties.

Back then, she was seen as a beautiful, wealthy and fabulously well-connected socialite who'd managed to snag herself one of the world's most eligible bachelors. But Jemima, now 49, has proven she's much more than a pretty face with a famous husband.

Recently, the mother-of-two revealed her hidden talents with the release of her first movie, a romcom called What's Love Got to Do With It?, starring Lily James.

She exited her high-profile marriage in 2004 and few have been aware that Jemima has spent the past 20 years building a career as a London-based journalist and documentary maker.

And even less well-known, for most of that time she's also been sharpening her skills as a screenwriter. What's Love Got to Do With It? - a cross-cultural, boy-next-door story about an arranged marriage - is the result and the film has already won the Best Comedy award at the Rome Film Festival.

Jemima says the idea for the movie came when she was researching a magazine article on arranged marriages and she had plenty of knowledge to draw on after living in Pakistan for nine years.
