Who is Tyrian White?
Tyrian was allegedly born out of wedlock with Khan’s former lover Sita White, who filed a lawsuit against the former Pakistan prime minister in the United States, as per the news agency PTI.
Back in 1997, a California court issued a default judgement declaring Tyrian as the daughter of the former Pakistan cricketer turned politician as he had refused to submit a DNA test to claim otherwise.

Khan has allegedly never claimed Tyrian as his child. She resides in London and recently, Khan’s former wife Jemima Khan has been seen often meeting her and sharing pictures with her on social media. In one of the pictures, she is seen hugging her affectionately and as a caption, she wrote, “Hate it when you go @tyrianwhite x.”

About The Petition
The petition is in response to an affidavit submitted by Khan for the byelections for nine National Assembly seats that were held in August 2022. During this, the court remarked that Khan did not act as "sagacious, righteous, honest and a man of good character in terms of Article 62 of the Constitution", by not mentioning his daughter Tyrian’s name.
Khan’s two sons- 26-year-old Sulaiman and 23-year-old Qasim, who were born from his marriage with Jemima Goldsmith in 1995, are the only children acknowledged by the chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
