    Social media influencer and wife to boxer Amir Khan, Faryal Makhdoom has used her social media platform to speak out on the Israeli bombardment of Palestine. She shared a screenshot today of a message she received from the Israeli government, asking her to cease supporting Palestine in exchange for money.

    In the caption, Faryal wrote: “I got this message last night. Like it’s going to stop me from posting the truth.”

    Faryal shared another post of an Israeli commentator on her Instagram account who attempted to sway her support for Palestine by writing that Hamas was behind the controversial hospital attack in Gaza. Faryal shut the user down with a list of facts that proved the attack was by Israel.

    Egyptian influencer Dina Tokio shared a similar message she received on Whatsapp and condemned this by writing “typical behavior”.

    Several users have reported receiving bribe offers from organisations demanding them to pull back from posting content about Palestine.

    Amir Khan, Faryal Makhdoom have taken this momentous decision about their marriage

    British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan shocked social media when reports of his alleged affairs emerged online after an expose by British tabloid The Sun. BBC Asian Network presenter Suzi Mann accused the boxer of sexual advances and flirting through text messages. The boxer’s wife, Faryal Makhdoom, appeared to have split from the boxer as reports emerged claiming that she was taking her time to decide whether to end the marriage or not.

    However, on a recent appearance at ‘This Morning’, Amir confirmed he had reconciled with his wife, and she was now encouraging him to go back to the gym.

    “I’m not a spring chicken. I’ve not trained for two years.”

    “My wife has started having a go at me saying to get in the gym, saying you’ve started to get a dad’s body.”

    “I used to see a gym and go in, now I see a gym and walk past it.”

    Faryal fuelled separation rumors by posting a cryptic note on her Instagram stories on Friday: “Fall in love with someone who doesn’t make you think love is hard.”

    Amir Khan no longer cheats on his wife because he’s an ‘old man’

    British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom have got their own Kardashian-style show: a BBC Three documentary titled Meet The Khans: Big In Bolton, in which the couple gave fans a sneak peek into their lives and relationship.

    During the show, Faryal reportedly said that Amir no longer cheats on her because he’s an “old man” now.

    “We’ve been through hell and back,” said Faryal, while talking about the various scandals over the year. It is pertinent to mention here that Amir has been accused of cheating more than nine times.

    “He was never able to enjoy his youth because of all his hard work, so he never really got it out of his system. He’d get caught in the wrong places,” said Faryal while explaining the reasons behind her husband’s infidelity.

    “We’ve moved on. The past is the past, we were young, we grew up together – the bad and the good,” she said further, adding: “Amir was so famous and so young when I first started dating him and married him, and now it’s like… he’s an old man!”

    The social media influencer further said that labels like “gold-digger” and “doormat” deeply upset her.

    Agreeing with Faryal, Amir said: “It changes with time. When you have three kids, it changes your responsibilities. I’ve had that crazy life before, now I’m a changed man.”

    Meanwhile, during an in-camera therapy session, Faryal, in between tears, tells her therapist: “My relationship still gets judged for what I’ve been through. A lot of people have ups and downs – the only difference is my marriage is quite public. I married a celebrity.”

    Faryal and Amir’s real life has been nothing short of a reality series marked with a long feud with the in-laws followed by an emotional reunion, cheating allegations, extramarital affairs and public scandals. The couple has three kids, Lamaisah aged 6, Alayna aged 2 and Muhammad Zaviyar aged 8 months.

    Amir is also no stranger to reality tv – he has also taken part in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Countdown, Beat the Star, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Celebrity Juice.

    Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom have announced that they have set up a Child Protection Fund in memory of eight-year-old Zohra Shah, a child maid who was brutally killed by her employers. The couple said that they will be financially assisting Zohra’s family and countless other child abuse victims.

    Faryal shared that she and Amir had spoken to Zohra’s father and would be taking responsibility for ‘providing their needs’, including schooling their other children. She also said that they will ensure that Zohra will get justice.

    Later, in a series on Instagram stories, Makhdoom discussed Zohra’s case and shared the details about the fund and the help they will be offering Zohra’s family.

    Faryal said that she was receiving loads of messages asking why Zohra’s parents sent their minor daughter to work. She shared that they didn’t.

    “The father has told us that he has 6 kids and he sent Zohra to Islamabad with her khala (maternal aunt) to study there. The khala then put Zohra to work where she was beaten to death.”

    Faryal also claimed that Zohra’s family was offered only six thousand rupees as settlement for Zohra’s death.

    She added that she has Zohra’s family’s word that they will not settle the matter and Zohra will get justice.

    Eight-year-old child maid Zohra Shah was allegedly beaten to death by her employers for releasing their prized parrots from a cage. According to reports, she opened the cage to feed the birds on Sunday, only for the birds to fly away. This enraged her employers who then beat her unconscious before dumping her at a nearby hospital. She died of her injuries. The couple behind the heinous crime has been arrested.

    Faryal and Amir tied the knot in 2013 and have been embroiled in more than just a few controversies over the years.

    While Amir was mired in cheating claims, a family feud between Faryal and her in-laws threatened to break apart the couple. In 2017 Amir split from his wife and publicly accused her of cheating on him with boxer Anthony Joshua, before withdrawing his claims and reconciling with his pregnant wife.

    But with the latest baby, it appears that all is well and we hope things stay this way.
