    He also stated that he has “great respect for the COAS, and his incredible work for Pakistan,” adding that he firmly believes that a personal conversation with the former prime minister could lead to a breakthrough.

  • Amir Khan’s welfare program canceled for supporting Gaza

    Amir Khan’s welfare program canceled for supporting Gaza

    The British University refused to host British Pakistani ex-boxer Amir Khan, who collected donations for Gaza, and to organize a welfare program in the university.

    Amir shared the screenshots of the email on Instagram. The email shared in this post shows that the university has canceled the fundraising program for being anti-Semitic.

    The e-mail said “Through the British newspaper Jewish Chronicle (JC), they came to know that an event of his is being held on December 16 at Queen Mary University of London on the subject of ‘An evening with Amir Khan’. We learned that you signed a statement just two days after the recent attack by Hamas on Israel, defending the right of Palestinians to carry out armed resistance against Israel and denied the actions of Hamas as terrorist acts”.

    The statement that Amir signed ‘called for the release of Palestinian prisoners and described Israel as a colonial state that is committing genocide’.

    It should be noted that next month, on December 16, a fundraising event at Queen Mary University of London was organized to which Aamir Khan was invited along with Red Bridge Islamic Center’s Imam Asim Khan who was nominated as the main speaker.

    According to Amir Khan, all these tactics are being used to defame him. The former boxer has reiterated his commitment to continue supporting Palestine.

    ‘Cry to my lord’: Pakistani celebrities shocked at Gaza hospital bombing

    On 17 October, Israeli jets bombed the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, where countless Palestinians had sought medical treatment and refuge from the ongoing genocide.

    Actor Osman Khalid Butt demanded an immediate ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid to enter into Gaza.

    Writer and columnist Fatima Bhutto criticised Israel’s attempts to distract the world from its crimes by attempting to thwart the narrative.

    Amir Khan going to therapy to ‘stop sexting women’ apologises to wife

    Former world champion boxer, Amir Khan, has publicly apologised to his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, for being involved in a sexting scandal with another woman. Khan expressed remorse for his actions and has vowed to seek therapy to address the ‘mental issues’ that led to his infidelity.

    The scandal came to light two weeks ago when reports surfaced of Amir Khan engaging in explicit conversations with a bridal model, Sumaira, including requests for provocative pictures and attempts to arrange a meeting. Faryal confronted him about the revelations, emphasising the impact his actions have had on their family.

    In response, Amir Khan has taken full responsibility for his wrongdoing and acknowledged the hurt he has caused his wife. He expressed a willingness to attend therapy sessions if it would help rebuild trust and address the underlying issues in their relationship.

    Recognising the importance of mental health support, Khan emphasised that seeking therapy could be beneficial, particularly in addressing the challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship in the public eye.

    “I think nowadays with mental health issues, any help goes a long way. It’s definitely something I would do. Things like that do help, so maybe it’s something to think about,” said Khan.

    During their holidays in Mykonos, Khan and Faryal took time to reflect on their relationship and the consequences of his actions.

  • ‘I was blackmailed’: boxer Amir Khan says model Sumaira extorted money from him

    ‘I was blackmailed’: boxer Amir Khan says model Sumaira extorted money from him

    Bridal model Sumaira has shared screenshots of former Pakistani-British boxer Amir Khan begging her for nudes, and encouraging her to meet him behind the back of his wife Faryal, The Sun has reported. The article, dated July 1, gave details of Khan’s alleged messages, including ones where he is terming his marriage a “business arrangement” and saying that he and Faryal were not on speaking terms anymore.

    Sumaira revealed to The Sun:

     “We had a phone call and he said he and Faryal were not properly together and that it was a bit of a business arrangement.

    “He said he was 36 and retired and that Faryal spent a lot of time in London. He spun me a bit of a sob story, and to begin with I felt sorry for him and thought he was lonely.”

    Khan has finally responded, recounting his side of the story by revealing that Sumaira deleted a lot of messages, only sharing a select few with the British tabloid which pushed the narrative of cheating on his wife, Geo reports.

    The former boxer alleged that Sumaira had reached out to him on social media where she stated that she was looking to escape from her family. The model sent revealing pictures of Amir when he asked her about her faith, which Khan said he had rejected because he wasn’t impressed by the model’s actions.

     “All I replied was that you look good but really that wasn’t something I was impressed by. To be honest, it put me off.”

    Amir then went on to address whether he had written ‘I can’t stop looking’ to Sumaira, and he responded that it was on her request to give her a compliment.

    “I wish you would say I can’t stop looking so I did. Then she sent a lot more and all I said was it’s nothing I haven’t seen before,” he confessed.

    Then Khan revealed that Sumaira asked him to give her £20,000, saying that she needed to get hand surgery.

    “I said I can’t give you any money. Go get a job and it’s wrong if you want money.”

    Khan said the model was writing lies about him in order to make money to leave her family:

    “The reason she went to the paper was I didn’t want to give her money. Her story about her family disowning her did upset me but I knew she’s on the money thing and is a liar. I stopped messaging her.”

    He also went on to reject the allegation by Sumaria that the boxer wanted to cheat on his wife, and that their marriage was a ‘business relation’:

    “I told her I am happily married. Not once did we speak about me and Faryal being together for the TV show. I think all my followers on socials know we are together and very happy. I reacted to the pictures out of the blue she sent me because I wanted to not upset her. But it wasn’t something you would take a look at twice. I also said to her sort your life out and that you are a Muslim girl. I’m sure your family will help you. She spoke ill about her family and why she didn’t live with them,” he confessed.

  • Amir Khan banned from all sport after failing dope test

    Amir Khan banned from all sport after failing dope test

    British boxing star Amir Khan has been banned for two years after an anti-doping test revealed the presence of a prohibited substance.

    The former light-weight world champion tested positive for ostarine, a drug mainly used to boost testosterone (male hormones). The UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) website states that

    Amir Khan retired from boxing in May but he accepted that he was using the prohibited substance, however, it was not intentional.
    An independent tribunal accepted that argument, ruling out “deliberate or reckless conduct” by the 36-year-old.

    In October, British sprinter CJ Ujah was banned for 22 months after he tested positive for two banned substances, including ostarine, at the Tokyo Olympics.

    “This case serves as a reminder that UKAD will diligently pursue anti-doping rule violations in order to protect clean sport,” chief executive Jane Rumble said.

    “Strict liability means athletes are ultimately responsible for what they ingest and for the presence of any prohibited substances in a sample.”

    The ban from all sports is deemed to have begun on 6 April 2022 and expires on 5 April 2024.

    Khan, who won a silver medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics as a 17-year-old, was beaten by Brook via sixth-round knockout in what proved to be his final professional bout.

    He retired from the sport three months later, finishing his career with 34 professional wins and six losses, having turned professional in 2005.

  • ‘I was tired of the politics [in Bollywood]’: Priyanka Chopra reveals reason why she moved to Hollywood

    Priyanka Chopra made headlines when she chose to leave Bollywood and start a career in Hollywood with the series ‘Quantico’. The star went on to act in prominent films such as ‘A Kid Like Jake’ and ‘Baywatch’.

    Talking on the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Chopra opened up about the reason that compelled her to leave Bollywood, revealing that the ongoing politics and feuds of the industry had worn her out:

    “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry (Bollywood). I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break,” said the ‘Love Again’ actress. “This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn’t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require groveling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it.”

    Chopra had started a music career in Hollywood by releasing ‘In My City’ feat Will.I.Am in 2012, and later “Exotic’ in 2013, but decided to shift from music to acting.

    “You have late nights, and early mornings, you’re travelling to a different city every day and you do it for three months,” she told People. “That’s why my music career lasted two seconds…I was not meant to do that. This rock star life is… I admire it tremendously. It’s definitely not for the weak-hearted.”
