Amir Khan’s dad slams his granddaughter’s ‘ridiculous’ £75k rainforest-themed first birthday party as he reignites feud
AMIR Khan's dad has slammed his granddaughter's "ridiculous" £75k rainforest-themed first birthday party as he reignites his feud with his boxer son and his wife.
The 32-year-old professional boxer and his 27-year-old wife threw the ultimate celebratory bash for their second child Alayna.
The couple - who also have five-year-old daughter Lamaisah together - hired the Macron Stadium in Bolton to mark the occasion.
However Amir's father Shah blasted the bash as "excessive", telling the : "We were not invited to the party. Amir's siblings and his parents were not there, which is very upsetting.
"But it didn't bother him or his wife.
"An awful lot of money was spent on the party and I feel it could have been better used. It seems a bit excessive to me.
"Every parent wants the best for their kids but what Amir has spent is quite ridiculous.
"We knew the party was happening and are very disappointed at not being invited. This is just part of the campaign by Amir's wife to separate him from his family and control his life.
"But everything will blow up again in their marriage, it's just a matter of time."
His latest comments come after the Khan family and Faryal got locked in a bitter war of words in 2016 and 2017 which played out in the media.
She accused Amir's family of bullying and violence while they said she was "evil" and said she was a bad mother.
Now, Shah once again blames Faryal and her mother for the latest falling out, and recently revealed they had spoken in six months as she was trying to drive a wedge between him and his family.
Meanwhile at the party, the family of four co-ordinated their outfits, with Amir in a black baroque print blazer, bow tie, and a pink shirt, while Faryal stunned in an embroidered skirt and matching crop top.
Lamaisah wore a black dress, which was short at the front and long at the bottom, with a puffed tulle skirt underneath.
The birthday girl - who was born in April last year - wore a similar dress to her sister, as she donned a lack ball gown, with off the shoulder top, tulle skirt and a black hair clip to accessorise.

The venue, which was previously hired for the couple when they celebrated their engagement, as well as Lamaisah's second birthday, was designed to resemble a tropical rainforest with help from Opulence Events London and Enchanted by Syma who designed and organised the do.
The stadium was fitted with a floral ceiling from which hung vibrant birds and butterflies.
There was a dancefloor fitted to follow the Amazonian theme, as a designated area had tropical print on the floor with Alayna's name in the centre.
A top table held Alayna's four-tiered birthday cake, and other sweet treats, with golden gates and another flower wall behind.
A string of long tables were pitched up beside the dancefloor, which were decorated with bouquets of multi coloured flowers, candelabras, and other decorations.
Stuffed animals, including a parrot and gorilla, as well as palm trees, and monkeys swinging on a bamboo prop, were dotted around the venue.
The couple also had a pop-up van at the party for their guests, while signs reading Alayna's Jungle, as well as other directions were dotted around the party.
Guests were treated to a performance by dancers dressed as animals, before the family took to the floor to party together.
The beauty guru, light welterweight champion and their two kids were all smiles as they posed for pictures together on the dance floor.
