Khan Sir said that he chose to keep his marriage private due to rising India-Pakistan tensions at the time. He chose a quiet ceremony, prioritising the nation over personal joy
Khan Sir of Patna, one of the country's most popular educators, is once again making headlines—not for a new class or controversy, but for his secret wedding. During a recent class, when students asked if it was a love marriage or an arranged one, he responded with his trademark humour.
'Do I seem like a man who would have a love marriage? Do you think a man like me can ever have a love marriage?" he said. His playful response made it clear that it was an arranged marriage.
Khan Sir 's younger brothers were keen for him to get married and, with their mother's guidance, arranged the match. He acknowledged that he couldn't go against his mother's wishes, and his family fully supported the decision.
The revelation took many by surprise, as no one had any clue about the wedding. Explaining the reason for the secrecy, Khan Sir said he chose to keep the marriage private due to heightened tensions between India and Pakistan at the time. Although the wedding had been arranged earlier, he decided to go ahead quietly, putting national concerns above personal celebrations.
When another student inquired about the dowry he received, Khan Sir said, 'I received five items in dowry: an earthen pitcher for drinking water, an earthen pot, a wooden hand-operated fan, a Quran Sharif, and a Ja-e-Namaz. This has been the tradition since ancient times, and that's why these items were given to me. Otherwise, no one dares to speak about dowry in front of us. We are strictly against dowry."
Khan Sir has also promised to host a feast for all his students on June 6. A reception card has gone viral on social media inviting everyone to the reception of Khan Sir and AS Khan on June 2, 2025, from 7 pm to 11 pm at a banquet hall located at Saguna More in Patna. However, Local 18 has not confirmed the authenticity of this card.
Khan Sir is an Indian educator known for his work at the Khan GS Research Centre and his widely-followed YouTube channel. He simplifies complex subjects with his distinctive teaching style, which has garnered him a large and dedicated audience.
Khan Sir has never revealed his full name officially. Some believe he might be called Faisal Khan, but this remains unverified. Interestingly, even his wedding invitation omits his full name. Despite public curiosity, his students respect his choice to keep personal matters private, commending him for his humility and steadfast dedication to education.
