Putting all rumours to rest, Rashid Khan took to Instagram to confirm that he indeed got married for the second time. Sharing a heartfelt note, he wrote, “On August 2nd 2025, I began a new and meaningful chapter of my life. I had my nikkah done and married a woman who embodies the love, peace, and partnership I always hoped for.”

The cricketer further clarified that the viral images were from a charity event he attended with his wife and urged fans not to jump to conclusions.

“I recently took my wife to a charity event, and it’s unfortunate to see assumptions being made from something so simple. The truth is straightforward, she is my wife, and we stand together with nothing to hide. To everyone who has shown kindness, support and understanding, thank you,” Rashid Khan posted on Instagram.

The grand ceremony was attended by several Afghan cricket stars, including Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Najibullah Zadran, Rahmat Shah, and Mujeeb Ur Rehman.
