In Lahore, Khan visited the Data Darbar shrine where he prayed for his success and for the success of other Muslims across the world. He also spent some time in Rawalpindi before arriving in Lahore.
Khan got engaged to Pakistani-American student Faryal Makhdoom on January 29 last year and will get married to her this year in New York. The boxer said that he will invite Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi to his wedding.
Khan had also visited Pakistan in December 2011 to participate as a chief guest in the second Benazir Bhutto International Boxing Tournament. He had said that he will support Pakistani boxers and that he was here to boost their morale.

@galib: You suddenly believe in prayers now? :)
Omar, precisely how may olympic silver medals did you have at the age of 16? it's easy to criticize from the comfort of your sofa but a little bit more perplexing when you are in a ring with professional fighters.
Wonder if he's doing the same thing by the extremely-wealthy Faryal Makhdoom that he does in his career - going for the gold. Hope he does better in married life than he did in his last fight.
"prayed for his success and for the success of other Muslims". So sad :((. who will pray for us Kafirs?
Good To See in Pak....,. God Bless U Khan. (THE REAL CHAMP)...!!
He was supposed to come to Pakistan for a match?
