Rashid Khan Confirms August Nikah, Says Woman in Viral Photo Is His Wife

He says the image is from a Netherlands charity event, not a wedding.

Overview

  • In an Instagram note posted November 11–12, the Afghanistan star said he had his nikah on August 2, 2025 and called online assumptions about his private life unfortunate.
  • Khan wrote that the picture circulating online shows him with his spouse at the launch of the Rashid Khan Charity Foundation in the Netherlands.
  • He emphasized there is "nothing to hide" but declined to reveal his wife's identity out of respect for her privacy and cultural traditions.
  • Coverage and social posts had cast the August nikah as a second marriage roughly 10 months after his publicly announced wedding in Kabul in October 2024.
  • The photo, which showed the woman without a headscarf, fueled further speculation on social media over cultural norms, prompting Khan's clarification.
