Imran is a retired army captain (served 12 years, left as Captain due to a knee injury sustained during a training exercise) who now runs a successful security consultancy firm in Lahore. He lost his wife to breast cancer four years ago; they had two children together — a daughter aged 11 and a son aged 8. He has been raising them with the help of his mother and two sisters and describes the last four years as the hardest and most clarifying of his life. He is not looking for someone to replace their mother, he is honest about that with anyone he speaks to but he believes his children deserve a complete family again, and he deserves companionship and partnership. He is structured, disciplined, and deeply protective, but those who know him well describe him as the kind of man who cries at his daughter’s school play and stays up all night when either child is unwell. He is financially very stable, owns his home, and has set up education funds for both children. He still exercises daily, though the knee limits him to cycling and swimming.
