A candid moment between Bihar’s celebrated educator Faizal Khan popularly known as Khan Sir and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has taken the internet by storm. The lighthearted exchange occurred during Khan Sir’s wedding reception held in Patna on June 2, where he introduced his wife, AS Khan, for the first time to close friends and guests. The video of their conversation has since gone viral on social media, amassing millions of views and reactions.
Khan Sir, who had quietly tied the knot in May, was asked by Tejashwi Yadav during the event, “Byah kab hua? (When did you get married?)” In response, Khan Sir explained that his wedding took place amidst recent tensions during the India-Pakistan conflict, jokingly referring to the chaos in world events as a perfect cover for a discreet ceremony. He also praised Yadav’s own secretive wedding style, saying it served as the model for his own.
“Your style was the model, sir,” Khan Sir said. “Only 12-13 people were there. We followed the same approach quiet, simple, and later announced.” The humorous and down-to-earth tone of the interaction resonated widely online, with many viewers appreciating the simplicity and humility shown by both public figures.
Tejashwi Yadav had previously married his school friend Rachel Godinho in December 2021 in a similarly private ceremony at Delhi’s Sainik Farms. Khan Sir runs the Khan GS Research Centre in Patna and commands a massive following on YouTube, where he teaches general studies and current affairs to over 24 million subscribers.
The viral exchange at the wedding reception not only captured public attention but also sparked wider conversations about modesty, public life, and personal values. With political figures and educators often under media scrutiny, the natural rapport between Yadav and Khan Sir offered a refreshing glimpse into unscripted camaraderie. Social media users lauded the video as a rare moment of relatable humor and simplicity in the public sphere. As the video continues to trend, Khan Sir’s wedding and his way of announcing it has become one of the most talked-about moments of the week.
