Amir Khan hits out at wife and family after her parents slammed her for wearing un-Islamic clothes and warns them to end ‘childish’ feud
BOXER Amir Khan has hit out at his wife and his parents in a furious Twitter rant and urged them to end their “childish” feud.
The family has been torn apart by a public war-of-words after Faryal Makhdoom, 25, accused Amir’s parents of verbal and physical abuse.
She made the claims in an explosive Snapchat rant last week, accusing her in-laws Falak and Shah Khan of slapping her, hurling a remote control at her and cropping her out of family photos.
Falak and Shah have since hit back and claimed they fell out with Faryal because they feel the clothes she wears do not fit with their Islamic dress code.
However, Amir has now waded into the row himself and sensationally declared that they will “lose a son and a husband” if they do not stop fighting.
In a message posted on Twitter tonight, he wrote: “I apologise on the silly picture [sic] and message my wife Faryal put up.
“Here is me working my ass off helping the less fortunate with charity dinners and my family and wife are destroying my name.
“I didn’t want to get involved in this mess…
“My parents are my parents and my wife is my wife.
“Whatever misunderstanding has happened, they should keep it private.
“This is getting to the point where they will lose a son & a husband.
“Childish behaviour. Both parties need to stop this. I’ve had enough.”
The catwalk model, 25, married Amir, 30, in 2013 and they are parents to a daughter, Lamaisah, who was born in 2014.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday after her Snapchat outburst, Faryal explained: “I never felt I could do anything right. I was bullied physically and mentally.
“One day I said, ‘Enough of this s***, I’m going to speak up. I’ve had it for three years and that’s enough’.’”
She says ex-world champ Amir had also stood up to his family, adding: “My husband feels like a man now. He’s much happier and so am I.”
Speaking about the rift for the first time, Amir‘s dad said: “Faryal was adopting a dress code which in the Islamic faith was not acceptable. I am a father to two daughters whom I have treated exactly the same way as I have treated Faryal.
“All this started with the issue of dressing. We kept asking Amir to tell her not to adopt such a dress code. And even if she had to wear such dresses, please don’t post it on social media.”
