Nomination of SRK’s cousin “Noor Jehan” accepted

The candidature of Noor Jehan, a cousin of Shahrukh Khan, has been approved by the Election Commission of Khyber Pakthunkhwa Province. Having been denied a ticket by the Awami National Party, she will be contesting the July 25 elections as an independent candidate

Ms. Jehan, Mr. Khan’s paternal cousin, is contesting from the PK-77 constituency. She expressed disappointment over trolling of Mr. Khan in India earlier this month following her decision to contest the elections. “Shah Rukh Khan is an Indian national and I am a Pakistani national. He has nothing to do with my election bid,” she said after the submission of her nomination papers.
