Weeks later, the media reported Diana spending time with Dodi Fayed, and Khan learned of it through the news—a blow that left him heartbroken. Then, in the early hours of August 31, 1997, tragedy struck. Diana’s death in Paris shocked the world. Khan attended her funeral at Westminster Abbey quietly, mourning a love that had been private but deeply real.
Years later, he reflected on their time together with tenderness:
“She was a normal person with great qualities… a very kind person. We all have our faults, but she had a wonderful heart.”
Life After Diana
Khan married Hadia Sher Ali in 2006, a union that ended two years later. Today, he continues his work as a heart surgeon and contributes to humanitarian projects in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, leading a quieter life he describes as peaceful and fulfilling.
