TV actress Arshi Khan says she was to get engaged to an Afghan cricketer who had been chosen by her father and she fears her family may have to call off the engagement because of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. She said, "I was to get engaged in October with an Afghanistan cricketer. He had been chosen by my father. But after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, we may have to put an end to the relationship."

Talking about what is an arranged match, Arshi mentions that although she was in touch with her prospective fiance, she fears her family may have to call off the engagement. "He was my father`s friend`s son. We are also on talking terms and are like friends, but now I`m sure my parents will find me an Indian partner."
