Sources say that Nassir Hussain and another of his uncle were looking to sell the property while Khan did not want to cede his inherited land and hence approached them and asked to sell the property to him.

Khan said, “This was a sentimental decision. I have hardly spent time in Shahabad but it is my ancestral home. And there is a bond. When I heard that some of my cousins wanted to sell their homes because they have moved on in life, I expressed a desire to buy it back from them. I have said it earlier and I'm repeating myself that some day I will definitely try out farming. This land is ideal for farming and I want to go to Shahabad and give farming a shot.”

The newly-held property has been registered under the names of Khan’s siblings besides himself.

Confirming the reports Khan said, “I have done that because I want my siblings to also have homes right next to mine. I really don't know when, but the idea is someday I would like all four of us and my mother to spend time together in our ancestral home. Perhaps all my cousins and my nieces and nephews (Imran Khan) will also join in. It will be the perfect venue for our family reunion.”
