@rosedreams

Haha. I am a Khan and the surname attracts a lot of attention, especially amongst Indians who associate it with the top Khans in bollywood.
In fact just yesterday, a new friend saved my name on her phone and insisted saving my last name as well as it was “special”. Lol.

My dada and par dada were Pathans but honestly, my dad’s generation onwards, every ones is less Pathan due to migration and more towards Urdu speaking Indian side… If that makes sense. I don’t feel a sense of belonging towards KpK or any Pathan tribe at all lol. But yeah I guess I am a Pathan!

I have a few Khan friends but only one knows Pashtu as he is from Peshawar. The rest all speak Urdu and have no clue abt their Pathan roots. So well, no one ever asked me aap kahan se Khan hogayin!

very interesting…mere saath ikdam ulTaa hai…people look at me and ask me if i am a Khan [PaThan] and when i reply in negative, they do NOT believe me and say, “jhooTe, u r a Khan…u r hiding from us!” lol

btw, i don’t have Khan as my last name!
