Amir Khan, a British-Pakistani boxer, has announced engagement scheduled for January 29, 2012 with American-Pakistani student Faryal Makhdoom.
The ceremony will have Khan presenting a three-diamond studded ring worth £100,000 to the US-Pakistani beauty.
The princely £150,000 engagement ceremony will be held at the Bolton Wanderer’s Reebok Stadium with approximately 1,000 guests, including some well-known athletes such as David Haye, Ricky Hatton, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand, The Sun newspaper revealed.
The lucky US-Pakistani girl is now joyous over her relationship, which according to her was once about to derail. The overwhelmed Khan’s princess mentioned how Amir’s fans are treating her and that she is touched with what they have to say.
She stated, “I get a lot of messages from Amir's fans and quite a few say I look like Kate Middleton. That's so nice because so many people admire her and I think she's very stylish - so the comparison is really very flattering for me.”
Furthermore, on her relationship with Amir and her future plans, the 5ft 3in beauty stated, “I'm very family oriented even though I was born and raised in New York but my grandparents are in Pakistan - and a lot of my dad's family are there. My parents are
already treating Amir like a son.”
Even Khan was touched profoundly when Shaukat, Faryal’s father, and Zia, her mother, presented a BMW 750Li to the couple as soon as the engagement was announced.
Not only is Faryal the one who is swept over with the reaction of Khan’s fans, even Khan himself seems excited. In an interview to The Sun newspaper, the boxing star revealed that numerous girls have told him that his bride-to-be is beautiful, adding that
this is a positive sign since usually people get jealous when such an event is announced.
He further added that Faryal is a very humble person without any arrogance or edge to her personality. Lastly, going over the board with praise, Khan said anyone who will meet Faryal will fall in love with her, as she is such a terrific personality.
Faryal will leave for England on Friday to meet her prince charming and attend her engagement party. She will be staying in England for a week with Khan planning to show her around.
