The announcement quickly garnered attention, not just from fans but also from fellow celebrities who took to their social media accounts to express their joy and best wishes for the couple. Actor Imran Ashraf commented, “Many congratulations, brother,” accompanied by a heart emoji.

In the replies section, Azfar Rehman remarked, "Mashallah," in addition to Khan’s sister actor Humaima Malick who left heartfelt comments on her brother's post. "May God save you from evil eye," the Arth actor wrote. Turkish star Celel Al also wished the Pakistani star the best of wishes.

Rumours of Khan’s marriage started swirling when pictures of what appeared to be the couple’s mayoun ceremony went viral on social media late Friday night. The pictures showed a traditional setup with friends and family gathered to celebrate the pre-wedding event. Despite the rumours, Khan remained tight-lipped until his recent post confirmed the news.

The Khumar actor’s marriage comes after his previous highly-publicised marriage with Alizay Sultan, which ended in divorce. The former couple shared a turbulent history, with domestic violence allegations levelled by the Sultan towards Khan.

Supporting her claims, Sultan submitted evidence to the District and Sessions Courts in Karachi East, which included images of bruises allegedly inflicted by Feroze on July 7, 2020, and May 10, 2021. Sultan’s family took her for a medico-legal examination at the Postgraduate Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), and the medical reports were also submitted to the court. The reports confirmed the presence of bruises on her arms and waist, consistent with her claims of being subjected to physical abuse.

Sultan also made a public announcement on her Instagram account on September 1, 2022, revealing her decision to separate from her ex-husband. In her statement, she described their four-year marriage as chaotic and disclosed experiencing "continuous physical and psychological violence, infidelity, blackmail, and degradation". Sultan expressed her desire to protect her children from growing up in a "toxic household." The former couple tied the knot in March 2018 and share two children, a boy and a girl.
