Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom DENIES she will be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house as she ‘can’t leave her family’ for that long
AMIR Khan's wife Faryal Makhdoom has ruled herself out of this summer's Celebrity Big Brother.
The 25-year-old has cited family commitments as the reason and thanked the show's producers for approaching her.
"There’s no way I can leave my daughter for so long and have no contact with my family. Although I want to thank Big Brother for even considering me.”
She said: "In my head, living with my new husband was going to be this fairytale, but it was hard and I didn’t have any friends.
"Bolton is very backward. Compared to New York, it’s a village."
She previously accused her mother-in-law Falak Khan of trying to break the couple up when she was pregnant, tweeting: “When you force your son to divorce his wife, When she’s nine months pregnant!!! And your son doesn’t… and he sticks besides his wife. He’s called a p***y!???
“Ok, I’m guessing Islam teaches us to get married and divorce our wives and treat them bad???”
Speaking about the way she has dealt with her in-laws, she told the Mail: "I want to see more British Pakistani Muslim women speaking up for themselves, getting out there and doing something. Then, eventually, the stereotype – this idea of what a daughter-in-law should be – will die off."
