LONDON: A beautician has alleged Pakistani-British boxing star Amir Khan cheated on his wife just 17 days after he became a father for the second time, reported The Sun. Sophia Hammani, 22-year-old, said she had a one-night fling with the sports star after meeting him in a nightclub earlier this month unaware Amir was still married to his wife Faryal Makhdoom at the time. Faryal, who married Amir in 2013, had their second daughter Alayna on April 24, a sister for their four-year-old girl Lamaisah. Sophia claims the boxer cheated on his wife in a hotel room with her on May 11, only 17 days after his daughter was born. She said the 31-year-old former World Champion, worth £23 million, left her just £20 for a cab to take her back home after their night together, eight miles away on the opposite side of London. She continued that she made the shocking discovery of the truth that Amir was still married to Faryal after returning to her own flat from the hotel and saw he had uploaded a picture of his family to his Instagram account, saying they were about to jet off to Pakistan to celebrate Ramazan. Sophia told The Sun: “He makes me sick. I cannot believe this man,” adding, “He’s disgusting. He slept with me and his wife had just given birth. I nearly threw up when I saw they were still together. I felt so used.” Sophia stated that betrayed Faryal texted her after discovering her mobile number on Amir’s phone. “When Faryal got in touch, I was terrified as by then I’d read all about Amir and I thought she would be furious with me. But as the conversation went, it was a sisterly chat,” Sophia said. “That must be every wife’s nightmare. That poor woman,” she added. Sophia went on to say that she had assumed Amir was divorced because “he was acting and talking as though he was single so I had no reason to think otherwise.”
