Mumbai, November 14: Imran Khan has many reasons to be elated about his grand engagement ceremony that will take place in January 2010.
He is also looking forward to the fact that his biological father, Anil Pal will be flying down from the US to be part of the celebration. This will be the first time that Imran’s father will be part of one of the most important events of his life. Imran will be officially exchanging rings with his girlfriend Avantika Malik in the third week of January.
A source close to Imran reveals, “Imran exchanged rings with Avantika a few months ago. It was a close family affair, but his father was not present then. Imran is now hosting a grand celebration in January and his father features prominently on the guest-list. He is currently abroad, and this is will be his first presence at Imran’s celebrations.”
“Imran has been very close to his father and they are in constant touch. He had moved to California to live with his father and studied there till he finished high school. Whenever his father visits India,he makes it a point to stay with Imran and his mother (ex-wife Nuzhat Khan). Anil shares a healthy relationship with Nuzhat and would want to be a part of his son’s celebration. He is very fond of Avantika,” the source adds.
Imran’s spokesperson says, “Yes, Imran’s father is coming for the engagement.”
