Faryal had spoken out against her in-laws and domestic abuse she had been facing after her marriage. However, Amir’s family denied the allegations, blaming Faryal’s western lifestyle for the fallout between the couple and the family. The feud also led to Amir ‘firing’ his father as his manager.

Interestingly, Faryal had posted pictures of her with Amir, celebrating her birthday at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai and having a good time at Cavalli Club's ice lounge just few days ago.

Sadiq | 6 years ago | Reply @Andrew: That doesn't make any difference, if he chose to publicize it. We all better know the intrigues played by liberal media. Its like whether melon falls on the knife or the knife falls on the melon, it's the melon that suffers.

Andrew | 6 years ago | Reply What did he and his family expect when the made the relationship with a model. I don't think that she is modeling for some burka or abaya. What is worse that instead of resolving their matter quietly between family and the courts, both of them have resorted to using the social media to air their differences.
