According to reports in Daily Mail and The Sun, former world champion Amir Khan is potentially going to be part of a "Kardashian-style reality television show" called "Home With The Khans."
On the Instagram account of new Sky channel Booom TV, the network posted a picture of Amir and and his wife Faryal Makhdoom with a TV exec.
A now-deleted picture shared on the channel’s Instagram page had featured that photo with the caption: “Coming soon on @BooomTVUK #HomeWithTheKhans.” For whatever reason the network deleted that post.
He was last seen in the ring in May, when he moved up to a catch-weight of 155-pounds to challenge WBC middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, who stopped Khan in six rounds. Khan is still the WBC mandatory challenger to welterweight champion Danny Garcia.
A lot of Khan's fans are now wondering if his family drama will play out on the reality show.
Khan's wife took to social media on Wednesday to speak out against her in-laws, claiming she faced ‘bullying’ and ‘abuse’ at their hands after marriage. Khan's father, Shah, is closely involved with his career and business dealings.
Faryal, on her personal Snapchat account, vented out her frustration at being subjected to domestic abuse by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
“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?"
Faryal finished with “Everything I do is for my daughter Lamisah. I would never put money over my child.”
