Internet Can't Stop Talking About Physics Wallah At Khan Sir's Wedding Reception
Last Updated:
The event brought together around 5,000 guests including well-known faces from politics, education, cinema and administration.
It was a big evening in Patna as renowned educator and YouTuber Khan Sir hosted a grand reception on Monday, June 2. The event, held in the heart of Bihar's capital, brought together around 5,000 guests including well-known faces from politics, education, cinema and administration. But what truly stole the show was the presence of fellow educator Alakh Pandey, CEO of Physics Wallah, who showed up to celebrate with his friend.
This was Khan Sir's first public appearance with his bride and the couple's on-stage moments caught attention online. Videos from the reception show Khan Sir dressed in a burgundy suit greeting guests. His bride, AS Khan, wore a red lehenga with a veil covering her face. Though she remained low-key throughout the evening, she was often seen smiling at her husband's usual witty banter.
Last month, in a classroom interaction, Khan Sir shared that the marriage had been a small, family-only affair, arranged entirely by his family. He said, 'I got married while India-Pakistan tensions were still rising. I didn't tell anyone. You [my students] are the first to know because I am who I am today because of you." He added with a smile, 'I'm planning to host a feast for you all on June 6."
Khan Sir explained that his younger brothers and his mother fixed the marriage. 'I couldn't say no to my mother," he added.
In his classic style, when students asked to see a photo of his wife, he joked by drawing a curly-haired cartoon on the board and said, 'Ditto, like this. She looks exactly like this, same to same. Do you think I don't draw well?"
The bride, AS Khan, is believed to have studied under the ICSE board. Not much is officially known about her, she is reportedly a distant relative of Khan Sir and comes from Jhagrahawa Bar in Siwan, the same place where Khan Sir's maternal family belongs.
Khan Sir, whose real name is believed to be Faizal Khan, is one of the most loved teachers on the internet today. He is famous for the way he explains things in a simple and clear manner. His fun style of teaching and his ability to connect with students have made him very popular, especially among those preparing for competitive exams.
He studied Science and Geography at Allahabad University. After that, he started teaching in Patna. Over time, more and more students began to attend his classes because they found his teaching easy to understand and full of real-life examples.
In 2019, he started his YouTube channel called Khan GS Research Centre. Since then, the channel has grown rapidly. Today, it has over 23 million subscribers and is one of the most-watched educational platforms in India.

Fake Army recruitment centre busted in Mainpuri; two held for duping youths
Representative image. AGRA: Mainpuri Police on Wednesday uncovered a fake army and police recruitment centre operating in the Kishani area, arresting two accused—Arvind Kumar Pandey and his associate Sumit—who allegedly duped dozens of youths with false promises of government jobs. The scam came to light after Ashok, a resident of Telangana , filed a complaint stating that he had sent his six sons—Sagar, Chandrashekhar, Srikant, Raviteja, Vijay, and Laxman—for training at the centre in 2024. Each was charged between Rs 2–3 lakh, paid through a mix of online transfers and cash. The centre was run by Pandey, who promised guaranteed placements in the police and armed forces. Ashok said he learned about the centre through a YouTube video in which Pandey appeared dressed in an Army uniform, referring to himself as 'Captain' and offering assured employment. Despite undergoing three months of training, none of Ashok's sons landed a job. When Ashok tried to contact Pandey, he stopped responding and vanished. SP Vinod Kumar said the centre, named 'Indian Police Protection Force Centre,' operated from rented premises and resembled a legitimate training institute. It displayed official-looking paraphernalia such as fake ID cards, uniforms, the Ashoka Pillar emblem, and other items to mislead candidates. The centre conducted physical drills and job-readiness sessions under the guise of pre-recruitment training. However, when candidates failed to secure jobs, Pandey blamed their 'inadequate performance.' Investigations revealed that Pandey had also launched a website and uploaded promotional content online. He used agents in other states to recruit more candidates by circulating false information. Police seized a fake air gun, medical admit cards, forged ID cards showing Pandey in uniform, laptops, letter pads, and other incriminating documents. Sumit, who assisted in preparing the fake paperwork and managed administrative work, was also arrested. Pandey has a prior criminal record and was previously jailed under IPC Section 420 for cheating. The current case has been registered under Section 318(4) of the BNS (cheating and dishonesty). Police said further investigation is underway.

Trapping social media influencers: ISI's strategy to weave an espionage-cum-propaganda network
Investigations into Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) latest modus operandi of espionage have revealed a concentrated effort to invite, entice, and then co-opt social media influencers through a variety of lures to build a web of informers among the community. Speaking to The Indian Express, a senior official said the cases of Hisar-based YouTube channel operator Jyoti Malhotra and Ropar-based Jasbir Singh, who also ran a YouTube channel, are not isolated, and are part of a well-planned operation by ISI to increase its reach through the twin aims of collecting information and spreading propaganda. Central intelligence agencies and the Punjab Police have been unravelling the spy network which was cultivated by several officials based in the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. Two staff members of the High Commission have already been thrown out of India after the government declared them persona non grata. 'ISI has been using a variety of tools to reach out to social media influencers not only in Punjab but across the country in order to weave an espionage-cum-propaganda network, which works out in favour of Pakistan. The first step is to invite the influencers of various platforms like YouTube, Instagram, X, Snapchat, etc, to the get-togethers of the Pakistan High Commission, and then offer them visas to visit Pakistan,' the official said. Once the influencer travels to Pakistan, the next step of the operation kicks in, under which enticements may be offered by way of cash and kind, including the honeytrap method, which would be used to coerce them into doing their bidding. 'It is a slow process, and often multiple visits are encouraged to Pakistan, and the confidence level in ISI operatives who are working under cover is gradually built up. When the target knowingly or unknowingly makes a false step and falls into their clutches, they close the trap, making it difficult for the influencer to back out,' the official said. Pakistan's efforts to entice Indian YouTube channel operators for espionage stem from a combination of strategic, geopolitical, and tactical motives. Leveraging social media influence for soft power and propaganda is boosted by the reach and credibility. YouTubers, especially those with large followings (Jasbir Singh with 1.1 million subscribers and Jyoti Malhotra with 377,000–381,000 subscribers), have significant online influence. Their content can shape public perceptions, making them valuable for projecting pro-Pakistan narratives or countering anti-Pakistan sentiment in India, say investigators. By encouraging influencers to create content like 'Indian Girl in Pakistan', as seen in the case of Jyoti Malhotra, Pakistan aims to portray a positive image, potentially softening public opinion in India or globally. This aligns with 'soft power' strategies to influence narratives subtly while gathering intelligence. Influencers can also play a vital role in covert operations as they are less likely to arouse suspicion compared to traditional spies, as their travel vlogs and cultural exchanges appear innocuous, providing a cover for espionage activities. ISI has also been found to be exploiting the financial vulnerabilities of influencers, as most YouTubers rely on views, sponsorships, or external funding. Pakistani operatives offer financial rewards, sponsored trips (like Malhotra's visits to Pakistan in 2023), or other incentives to lure influencers, exploiting their need for content and revenue. Intelligence officials say that in the wake of Operation Sindoor and heightened India-Pakistan tensions, ISI likely seeks real-time intelligence on Indian military movements, cantonment details, and strategic operations, especially in border states like Punjab. 'Punjab's proximity to the India-Pakistan border makes it a focal point for espionage. YouTubers travelling in these regions can inadvertently or deliberately gather and share information about troop deployments, infrastructure, or security arrangements, which can be vital to the enemy who wants to collect granular data,' another official said.
