What's new

Faryal Makhdoom's spat with Amir Khan's family [in-laws respond #69, Amir Khan #102]

Amir's father was just on the BBC Asian network and completely tore into Amir's wife. Calling her a liar, trouble maker etc. It sounds like they've given up on her.

Didn't Amir just ask both sides to stop?

How can they go and give another interview? :facepalm:
 
Going public with family disputes will always make it unresolvable and worse.. But after reading some of the comments here I can understand why she went public, the cultural difference is too huge and she probably wasn't getting any support from anyone in their immediate family.. Still too much drama now feel sad for the boxer poor guy getting so much negative unwanted attention..
 
The family seem nuts, they are totally embarrassing themselves in public.


Hahaha ikr? Imagine you were that top notch boxer and having to go through all of this public non sense.. Next fight he has the opponent will kill him even before the fight starts by trash talking about his family saga..
 
Bringing a bad name to herself, her family and Pakistan (people in West will think all of Pakistan is this backward)

? Amir and his family are from UK and she is from NA and Pakistan will get a bad name? West can go to hell with their judgmental ways.

Bhai perhaps you don't know how it works in the west. If a person of "non-white" background or specifically South Asian/Middle Eastern background gets into something then the judgement is towards the country of origin. Doesn't matter whether the person was born and brought up in the west.

It's funny really, Faryal's not really doing anything different to any of the other media starlets of the day, you can check out any online tabloid and see the same behaviour from soap actresses to international singers. They say no publicity is bad publicity. But you are right, this will definitely get linked back to her ethnic background and she is playing it for all it's worth to be fair.

In what ways is faryal benefiting from this publicity?
 
You never answered the question, it wasn't a dig at your claim am just curious

She's getting publicity, I thought I made that clear in the previous answer. There's a lot of money to be made if you play to the right audience. I know I could do it so understandable why she would.
 
Maybe now she can be invited to some reality TV show like Big Brother etc where she can further elaborate on her story, even the majority of audience of such shows would connect with her considering the scenario of yet another Young Liberal Muslim Woman suffering at hands of her Ultra Religious ( Islamic) in Laws.

Tbf, even though completely disinterested in Boxing.... I somehow knew Amir Khan as a Boxer of Pakistani origin, who won a medal in the Olympics and has turned Pro now. But I still had no idea who his wife was, but now I do. Just like many others who are all aware that there is a Faryal Makhdoom after this episode.


Very smart move by the Girl.

Garnering sympathy and publicity at the same time.


Win- Win situation for her.

Their family started it. If she wanted all the fame and etc she would have done it a while ago. She didn't have to wait this long. Why would she wait till she had a baby, when she could have divorced him right after when she was 22-23 with his millions. She could have filed for a divorce easily, she didn't need to take it to the public.
 
Not enough attention is being given to the fact that she uploaded such pictures of her brother in law. If the brother in law had uploaded similar pictures then they would've asked for his head. It works both ways ladies.

She uploaded it not only because Harry was making fun of her but also because of the in laws hypocrisy, they called her out on the unislamic dress code while their son allegedly sleeps around and gets drunk. But yeah no one had to see that

What if there's a chance it's not for publicity at all and she's just a frustrated and brave young woman who is speaking out against the evils which the daughter in laws of pakistani households face, am not ruling out the playing to the right audience either but am keeping all options open because neither of us can know for sure unless that reality tv show is actually happening
 
Amir Khan should:

1. just bite the bullet and divorce his wife and move on....

2. Yank the a cord with his family and move away from them. I presume they were instrumental in getting him married to this woman , and then subsequently fell out with her. So they failed him in finding a compatible partner and then allowing the public mudslinging to go on.

This should also serve as lesson to all unmarried PPers that whilst looks and chemistry is important initially, it's not sufficient to sustain a long term relationship. If you go down the arrange marriage route, you better do your due diligence properly.

Um, it was a love marriage. You may want to revise your inference.

He was bullying her social media before and his family were talking about Islam and how Pakistani women are supposed to dress, she just exposed their hypocrisy.

Amir's Khan's family is like the average Pakistani family in their worldview.
 
Not at all. If this was their mentality Amir would never have been a boxer but either working in a factory at 16 or studying to be doctor etc.

His parents backed him from a young age, it does take a lot of support to become what he has.

So people with a backward mentality study to be a doctor lol?!
 
They knew Faryal before she married Amir. It's ridiculous that a modern American girl is trying to live with in laws in Bolton with people with a backward mentality for a start.

Good on Faryal. I'm in her camp!
 
Seems as if the young lady is to modern and hip for the Khan family. She is being forced to dress and behave in a particular way for the sake of pleasing the family and the Pakistani community at large it seems. I support her for standing by her views. Amir should have thought long and hard before marrying her, that is why it's so important to look beyond physical beauty of a lady when making such a decision. He should have married in Pakistan if he wanted to marry a more traditional village type Pak girl. Many of today's girls of Pakistani ethnicity in the west won't be bullied by their husbands or elders in to agreeing with them. If Amir insists on divorce this lady will know exactly how to claim her share of his wealth after all they have a child together. Amir does seem much more traditional then his wife probably because he is British where as she Pakistani. By they way the Khan family proposed to the girl's clan not the other way round.
 
Bringing a bad name to herself, her family and Pakistan (people in West will think all of Pakistan is this backward)

This is very civilized by Pakistani standards. Most of Pakistan is much more backwards than this.
 
I meant she is American and he British which is why she is to modern for him. Amir's mentality is of a paindoo! Not all Muslim women are the hijab type that is not to say they are lesser believers in Islam.

Yes certainly we shouldn't jump to conclusions. I can't say I ever saw it as a compatible match to begin with and it hasn't been helped by the family all staying together. You would have thought right from the start the couple should have bought their own place. it's not like they didn't have the money.

Yeah I agree with that, generally it's best to live separately. Traditionally though in pakistani households the girl tends to live with the guys parents and it's not often they move out.

Other thing with this publicity what I don't get is that they're not your typical celeb couple and things like family reputation is incredibly important, to put them in the spotlight is a bit weird; I guess it is Amirs parents who are in the hot seat and not faryals so that's another theory with regards to her daredevil approch and like you say the money is not an issue for either of them so am trying to get to the root cause of this, the ITV interview was good in the questions which were asked by holly willowboubie. Maybe the point of it all is revenge from Faryal

If money was what she was after, she could have divorced him when she didn't have the baby and when she was lot younger. 22, independent and having few millions is much more fun than being 25, independent and having a baby daughter. So money is not what she after.

But she evil for what she did to Harry though lol.

Even then she comes from a pretty wealthy family herself! so this narrative that she was with Khan for the money alone is a bit misleading, anyhow there's no denying that celebs have appeal amongst women given that fame/attention is an attractive train in addition to fighters having their own unique charisma. Amir is a good guy though despite what has been said over the years so it would be a bit silly for Faryal to throw him under the bus.

loool yeah that took it far, but am guessing she did to get back not only at him but his parents who called her out publically for her dress code which shamed her in the community so she's like so you all wanna play the religious card you got a son who doesn't exactly abide by islam does he when he drinks and gets involved with other ladies etc
 
LOL, are the parents seriously this naive to not see this before the marriage took place? It's not like she flipped 180 with how she dresses in the last few months..she's always been this way and the family should have voiced their concerns before they got their son married. The family seriously comes across as paindu.

In one of her tweet, she clearly stated that she considers Khan's money as "blood money" so she does not use it. She spends only what she earns...


After marriage, money going to parents, sisters and bro must be dropped considerably so they blaming wife for this...but they should understand that it would have happened with any wife.

anyway, kudos to wife for exposing this hypocrisy...!!

I've never really liked Amir's father, he puts himself in front of the camera too much for my liking. I'll bet this isn't the sort of publicity he's used to. :91:

In one of her interviews above apparently they weren't happy with her,I guess she wasn't married then but engaged.(She said few months before her wedding)
 
Faryal Makhdoom lied about her degree. She is drop out : Amir's father

I watched the clip and he said that respect of faryal is tied to their respect....but still tried to insult her...

but it was clear that everyone in the family knew that she was student when she was getting married.

Figures, she doesn't seem very bright.

You still need to pass A-Levels or an equivalent qualification to get in to a University so her education is at a pretty decent level, Amir didn't finish his BTEC diploma in sports science due to the Olympics but I think Bolton College awarded him the honorary diploma :yk

The worst is the Pakistani liberal elite. While they surrender many of the cultural idiosyncrasies, they continue to cling onto the most primitive ones (being condescending and demeaning among them).

At least the rest of Pakistan has the excuse of illiteracy and substandard education.
 
She is at fault.

Chose the wrong girl and now his family is being destroyed.

Happens a lot sadly.

What wrong in her? She tolerated BS for years.

Amir's family is his wife and his daughter. Others should stop leeching Amir off.

Amir is firmly behing Faryal and has confirmed that she was indeed bullied.

Faryal's father should straighten out Amir's parentse, enough of their taunts at Faryal and her parents.
 
I find it amusing that Amir chose to say to the media that he wants his wife and family to not go to the media :) ...

Anyhow Faryal is no hero...so I don't know why she's getting love on here...her husband has asked her not to air their dirty laundry publicly and she's doing the complete opposite...I agree with her that its plain patriarchy from the family but again this isn't a conversation that needs to be made public...

I've seen these issues before between the 'modern' girl who sees her husbands family as 'fresh'...and the parents from back home who don't like how 'modern' their daughter in law is...bridging these differences must be very tough for Amir...and unfortunately whats made everything tougher is the people hes trying to bridge the gap between have shown a complete disregard for him...

She is rude and arrogant. Also she dresses like a non Muslim. Publicity seeking reality star wannabe.

Well he had to as they were destroying his name, when you talk rubbish a response is natural. Likewise, your beloved Tomato Can fighting Kelly Brook will get smashed come fight night ;)

And Faryal dig was at Khan parents for not calling out Harry on his unislamic ways not amir given their hypocricy with regards to her dress code

Rule #1. Keep private matters private.

Not that I support either parties here

But what was the solution for her

Amir himself says her parents and family didn't treat her well and that his siblings bullied her.

When she did that ITV interview from Toronto, she was with Amir. They were staying together, there was no way that she did that interview without his knowledge or his permission.

What an annoying brat this sister is. Deliberately trying to spread fire. An why the hell is Pakistan media so interested in this? Amir is British not Pakistani. I haven't seen anything or very little on BBC, Sky or other British news broadcasters but Pakistani media report delay updates on this whole matter. They should get a life.

You see I frequently post anything new on this subject in this thread :-)

But I do not comment and do not take anyside.


Personally I may think that one party is wrong or the other is wrong or both are wrong. But I do not comment. As i see it as their personal matter. They have brought this matter in media themselves but still I won't comment.


Yes if there is a discussion of what is islamic and what is not than I may want to come into frame and discuss it without discussing them because I do have interest in religion.


As far as media is concerned I agree they are wrong but they are doing business and such news (trp) are good for their business.

This girl looks really annoying. She is making everything in public.Somethings are better discussed and resolved within family not sharing on twitter and facebook.

'She's telling a pack of lies!' Amir Khan's father claims 'evil' daughter-in-law invented attack by his sister when she was eight months pregnant... and says marriage WILL end in divorce
Amir Khan's father Sajjad accused the famous boxer's wife of being bad mother
He goes on to say the former world champion will soon leave Faryal Makhdoom
Faryal reignited war of words by claiming Amir's family are trying to control him
She claimed they bullied her out of jealousy and because she was an 'outsider'
'Every single one of them is married to a cousin or a relative,' she said yesterday


Amir Khan's wife is 'telling a pack of lies' by claiming that she was slapped by his sister while she was heavily pregnant, his furious father said today.

Sajjad Khan fiercely denied that his daughter Tabinda had ever been violent towards the boxer's model wife, insisting: 'It's crazy . She doesn't know fact from fiction.'

Faryal Makhdoom Khan yesterday claimed that Khan's sister grabbed her hair and slapped her head while she was eight months pregnant with daughter, Lamaisah.

But in the bitter war of words between the feuding family, Sajjad accused his 'very evil' Faryal Makhdoom Khan of inventing the claims.

Sajjad accused his daughter-in-law of being a 'bad mother' for leaving her young daughter with her parents in New York over Christmas to be with him at a boxing training camp with Khan - and claimed his famous son would 'probably' soon divorce her.

As the 28-year-old boxer resumes his punishing post-festive training schedule in San Francisco, his father told MailOnline: 'The wife's gone with him and has left their baby girl with the other grandparents in New York.

'What kind of mother is she? That child should be with her parents but it's all about her and no one else.'

Sajjad told how he received a congratulatory text message from his son in America as he celebrated his 55th birthday on Christmas Eve – and a wish for a peaceful New Year.

But he predicted: 'I can't see that happening while she continues to behave in this appalling way.'

He said he thought a truce is unlikely, despite his son's threats that the 'childish' feud could cost both parties 'a son and a husband'.

Blasting model Faryal as 'a fame-hungry' loose cannon, he went on: 'We never know when she'll explode and what pack of lies will come next!' before adding his son's three-year marriage is 'heading the wrong way, probably for divorce'.

Sajjad and wife Falak recently moved out of the home they once shared with their son and his wife in Bolton, Lancashire.

He said: 'We don't want to be drawn into this battle any more but when she keeps coming out with a load of rubbish we're going to react.

'All she wants is exposure and whether it's good or bad publicity, I think it's all bad, it still gets her name out there and she's loving it.

She is a crazy, very evil woman who is playing with Amir's mind. My son's told her to keep quiet but she's showed him no respect and keeps spouting off
Amir Khan's father, Sajjad
'As I've said before she is a crazy, very evil woman who is playing with Amir's mind. My son's told her to keep quiet but she's showed him no respect and keeps spouting off.

'How dare she accuse my daughter of hitting her. We are aware of the allegation and she did not touch her.

'If she had been attacked why didn't she tell the police or get evidence from hospital? If she's so aggrieved why isn't she flying to England and standing up in front of us all to make these accusations to our face. Because it did not happen!'

Faryal claimed in a recent interview that Tabinda, who works for Khan's sports PR agency, 'grabbed my hair and slapped my head when I was eight months pregnant'.

She also said she regretted her many social media outbursts attacking her husband's family, but insisted it was 'an anger that's built up over the years'.

'They have been so unkind,' Faryal said. 'I was in Pakistan with Amir's family when his brother tweeted: "Michael Jackson isn't dead. He lives with us." He was trying to say I'd had plastic surgery.

Speaking out: Model Faryal claims she's been bullied by Khan's family for three years
Speaking out: Model Faryal claims she's been bullied by Khan's family for three years
'I was pregnant with our daughter, who's now two, at the time. Can you imagine what it was like being in the same house with him when he was saying that?'

She went on to claim the very insular family felt threatened by her, an independent part-time model from New York who owns her own cosmetic company, because they feared she would take him away.

She said: 'Every single one of them is married to a cousin or a relative. Amir's sister [Tabinda] is married to a relative from the village. Amir's brother's [Haroon] marriage was arranged with a relative from the same village.

'But Amir picked me because he fell in love with me. I was the first outsider, and asking me to marry him was the first big decision he made for himself. I think there was jealousy. He sent me so many gifts.'


'I believe they couldn't accept Amir had found someone who might take him away from them.

The former light welterweight world champion has amassed an estimated £30million since he won a silver medal in the 2004 Olympics in Athens at the age of 17.

Sajjad, who helps promote his son, claims his wife has hacked into the star's social media account and uses his password 'to control and change what he posts'.

Has domestic abuse been redefined since the last time I checked?

When did you check last time?

Anyway, exposing of in-laws was the correct first step taken. If she has the evidence/witness, she should approach officials for proper investigations.
 
It's Unfair, i believe this is one of the major cause of marriage failure; the balance between parents and wife. Due to which couples prefer moving out of the family house to keep the sense of respect and attachment.

Parents should be respected all life long every need of theirs is to be full filled, if at all the women whom you marry is sensible enough to live with your family there is nothing better(The Matter of fact the privacy is respected). These matters are individual based Mostly...

All the very Best To AK, hope he exits the mess without any loss.
 
They don't like her cause she ain't related to them. They likely wanted Amir to marry a cousin.
 
Surely divorce would mean Amir, and by extension the Khans, will lose a chunky portion of their wealth? Unless there is a pre-nuptial agreement in place.

Prenups are a grey area of law in the UK and sometimes aren't even enforceable (especially when kids are involved) but they did have one......

She claims the Khans asked her to sign a prenup – a contract prior to marriage – two weeks before their wedding to protect Amir’s finances.

She said: “In our culture, to ask a bride to do that is very disrespectful. One of his team gave it to me when Amir was in the training camp.

“I signed it because I wanted to prove I didn’t want the money. I wanted Amir. He is the love of my life.

“When I was pregnant, Amir cancelled the pre-nup.”

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/573806/amir-khan-wife-faryal-makhdoom-family-feud
 
So she talks about prenup being disrespectful to her culture but asking girls to wear dupatta isn't ? Such a hypocrite.

I agree she should not have used the culture card.

However, she did sign the prenup (which is cancelled now) and that's between couple.

Plus, dopatta demand and prenup demand are not related, and if they are then it proves the hypocrisy of the family as both demands were from family and she did actually sign the prenup.

And in a different statement, wife clarified that she spends her own earned money as she considers Aamir's money as a blood money.

My concern is that she whined about bullying because she wasn't cultural and then all of a sudden says its disrespectful in her culture to ask for a Prenup.

I agree that she should not have used this card. As she actually signed the prenup we cannot call her hypocrite (if you demand from someone something and do yourself the opposite for your personal benefit, then this is hypocricy), maybe we can say that she has been inconsistent in her complaints but she has not demanded anything from in-laws.

Had she refused to sign, still I would not call it hypocrisy as she has not asking anyone else to do anything with their lives.

it's clear, at least to me, even with this, she exposed in-laws hypocrisy as they got pre-n up (as per western standard) and then demanded dress code(as per desi standard).
