When asked whether the criticism on social media affected him, Khan Sir responded, 'No, we come from a village. And we cannot leave the village behind.'

As per her, the bride has a different identity wearing the veil in a crowd of people," said Khan Sir. "She said since everyone is already dressed at the reception, the veil would help her stand out. I told her people would blame me, to which she replied, 'No, it's my childhood dream'. She was stubborn that she wanted to be this way, and at the end, I said okay," he added. Quizzed if the online backlash affected him, Khan Sir replied: "No, we come from a village. And we cannot leave the village behind." View this post on Instagram A post shared by ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash (@podcast_ani) 'Got married quietly because' As for why he got married in a hush-hush way, Khan Sir revealed it was due to the military conflict between India and Pakistan.

"Initially I wanted to put off the wedding and go and help the soldiers fighting the enemy at the borders. But things had been planned by my parents and they were distraught." "Finally, I relented. I cursed the Pakistanis for their sudden attack and agreed to tie the knot, but on the condition that nobody would be invited." Khan Sir runs the Khan GS Research Centre in Patna and also has a YouTube channel by the same name. As of now, he has 24.7 million subscribers and features around 400 videos.
