Former world champion Amir Khan has continued to stay on the sidelines while there is a public war of words between his wife and his parents.
Khan’s parents have spoken up following the scathing allegations made by the boxer's wife, Faryal Makhdoom.
Shah Khan, alongside his wife Falak spoke to GEO News to address claims made by Faryal on Snapchat.
Faryal Makhdoom, 25, claims she was “bullied physically and mentally.”
Last week, Faryal took to Snapchat and went after Khan's parents and sister.
“Don’t get your sons married if you’re going to abuse and bully the wife. I’ve always been so quiet but seriously, this message is for everyone! When you bring someone’s daughter — treat her as your own. Your son will be much happier and so will you,” she wrote in a post.
“My husband has done far more than any son has done. And far more than any brother has done. But why is he treated so badly? Jealousy? Hatred for his wife? That’s disgusting,” she continued.
“When you force your son to divorce his wife, when she’s nine months pregnant!!! And your son doesn’t…and he sticks beside his wife. He’s called a p**sy? Ok. “What about when your sisters-in-law comes to hit you when your husband is not home and still you don’t raise your hand out of respect for your husband! Then they think it’s okay to bully you in public and call you bad! Get the f*** out of here,” she raged on.
“Let me stop. God is my witness and that’s why I’m living a great life with my husband and beautiful daughter. Free of jealousy and hatred of anyone — that’s too much energy wasted on a bunch of lame online bullies!” “Khan family is definitely respected. And that’s because of Amir Khan, not a bunch of robbing, selfish, unappreciated people!”
“I worked my *ss off on a catwalk from 7am till 12am at night. My husband is a multi-millionaire but still work and do my own as I can never touch his BLOOD money, when I have a right too! And then I get hating evil sister-in-laws shi**ing on me? Everything I do is for my daughter Lamisah. I would never put money over my child.”
Speaking in Urdu to Geo News, Shah said - “We have not done anything wrong to her. We have not hit her. All the reports are lies.
“We have two daughters. I spoke to her (Faryal) like I would speak to my daughter’s. If we tell our daughter’s not to dress in a certain way, then we would tell her (Faryal) the same thing.
“The whole matter began because of her clothing and her dress code. We kept telling Amir to tell her not to dress this way. If you want to dress this way, then do it, but at least don’t put it on social media. Amir is shy. Even now he (Amir) is ashamed. How can he face the world when she (Faryal) is insulting his parents? She (Faryal) is still our daughter."
