Amir Khan and wife Faryal leave daughter, 5, in floods of tears after joking her dad is Bradley Cooper
AMIR Khan and his wife have been blasted for a prank on their child — telling her that Hollywood star Bradley Cooper is her dad.
The boxer, 33, and Faryal Makhdoom, 28, filmed five-year-old Lamaisah’s tearful reaction as she heard Amir was not her biological father.
The couple have been branded “cruel” for the Instagram clip, in which Faryal was seen showing the child a picture of actor Bradley on her phone.
She then points at Amir and says: “That’s not your real daddy. This is your real dad.”
Former world light-welterweight champ Amir, 33, adds: “Do you want to talk to your dad?”
They then set up a fake phone call with an assistant called Carl at their gym.
Faryal adds a caption to the clip, saying: “Carl on the phone pretending to be the dad.”
He tells the child: “I’ve missed you. Is your mummy alright? Have you been a good girl?”
She then accidentally connects to FaceTime and sees Carl’s face.
BURSTS INTO TEARS
She bursts into tears as Faryal says: “We’re just joking.”
Lamaisah screams: “I don’t like jokes.”
The clip included a laughing emoji saying “pranked my daughter”.
A source said: “It’s just so cruel. The poor girl was clearly distraught and they just thought it was funny.”
The video was viewed 9,000 times and racked up over 70 comments before it was removed.
Amir and Faryal were asked to comment.
