YouTuber Khan Sir reveals why his bride remained veiled during their wedding

Renowned YouTube educator and motivational figure Khan Sir recently tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony held in Patna, Bihar. Known for his engaging teaching style and massive online following, Khan Sir’s marriage became a hot topic on social media soon after the pictures from his reception surfaced. The event, though intimate and joyous, unexpectedly sparked a controversy centered around the bride’s appearance—specifically, her decision to keep her face veiled throughout the ceremony.

In a recent conversation with news agency ANI, Khan Sir—whose real name is reportedly Faisal Khan—responded to the online criticism regarding his wife's veiled look. He clarified that the choice was entirely her own. According to him, his wife, AS Khan, wished to wear the red face covering and was not compelled by anyone. He emphasized the importance of respecting personal choices, especially in matters of religious or cultural expression, and appealed to the public not to politicize or misinterpret their private moment.

Khan Sir clarified that it was a joint decision between him and his wife to don the ghoonghat. He told ANI, “Many girls love being decked in bridal finery and donning a ghoonghat on their special day..”

He then revealed he had tried to dissuade his bride from wearing the veil the entire time, but she had said it was her “Childhood dream.”

He also argued that the veil is a mark of distinction. He explained that the presence of the veil helps to differentiate the bride from the rest of the women present.

Despite the storm brewing online, the wedding was a happy and emotional event. Among those who came to bless the couple was fellow educator and Physics Wallah CEO, Alakh Pandey. The two teachers, who share a deep bond of mutual respect and collaboration, were seen embracing warmly at the reception. Pandey’s presence added an emotional layer to the celebrations, highlighting the camaraderie that exists within India’s growing online education space.

As for the bride’s attire, AS Khan chose a traditional red bridal lehenga, heavily embellished with intricate gold zardozi embroidery and shimmering sequins. The blouse was equally ornate, matching the floor-length skirt that made up the lehenga set. Her ensemble was completed with a rich red dupatta, elegantly draped over her head and face, maintaining her preferred level of modesty and privacy. The look, while traditional, was regal and befitting of a grand wedding reception.

Beyond her recent appearance in the spotlight, AS Khan maintains a quiet and respectable career of her own. She is a government officer hailing from Siwan, Bihar.
