While Imran was busy with politics, Jemima became a soft target for conservative religious outfits and political opponents of Imran. They accused her of being a student of Salman Rushdie.

 Some attacked her for her Jewish background and accused the couple of supporting Jewish lobby.

But Jemima showed patience after every attack. She was in love and knew the it came for a cost. In order to mingle with the Pakistani culture, she learned to speak Urdu and wore traditional Pakistani clothes.

She was eager and to certain extent desperate to be accepted into the radically different culture of Pakistan. But probably no one but the love of her life noticed her effort.
