Amir Khan's father rejects Faryal Makdoom's sex tape claims

This family saga is fit for a soap opera

Looks like international boxing sensation Amir Khan's very public family feud is intractable.

Days after a sex tape of the boxer surfaced on the internet, his family reportedly stands polarised on who might be possible behind the embarrassing leak. Earlier, Amir's wife Faryal Makhdoom had termed the incident an "act of revenge" by one of their former staff members.

“I feel someone’s done it out of revenge… someone close to us. It’s not necessarily a family member. Amir has fired a lot of people who worked for the company so it could be a worker,”Daily Mail quoted her as having remarked.

Now, Amir's father Sajjad has categorically rejected her claims, according to The Sun. “We have had to make some redundancies from the boxing side, which happens in business at times. I will not discuss who and when. I have no idea who's responsible for leaking the video but I cannot imagine it to be one of our present or erstwhile employees even if Amir's wife says so.” he said.



Amir and Faryal recently appeared on a morning show and spoke on the leak. They claimed the tape had been made well before their marriage. “I love my wife and I love my family. The marriage is brilliant. It’s going really well. Everything is fine between with us,” said Amir. "It is something that happened a long long time ago. This was well before my marriage. It's trying to put me down," he said.



"It’s not about sacking, it’s about making redundancies and there is a difference. I do think that the only person or people who leaked the video were the ones who recorded it and I have no idea who that was,” Sajjad went on to add.
