Sita
White, who has been claiming that she has a daughter from Imran Khan, former
Pakistan cricket captain turned politician, is now reportedly trying to legally
change the surname of the 11-year-old daughter Tyrian to his.Khan, a member
of the Pakistan National Assembly, has always denied that he is the father of
an illegitimate child. But Sita White, daughter of the late millionaire
industrialist Lord White of Hull, has been quoted in a daily saying: "Tyrian
needs a name change.
"It is a requirement by the American courts to have at least tried for
Imran's consent." Calling from her home in California, she told him, says Nigel
Dempster of the Daily Mail: "We would like him to participate".
Apparently, another round of the long-running dispute between the two is on
the anvil.
Imran Khan has persistently denied paternity. But Sita White challenged him to
take a blood test.
In 1997, a US Judge ruled by default that Tyrian was Imran Khan's child after
he failed to turn up for hearing.
Sita White, now 41-year-old, says she only wants happiness for her daughter,
who is studying in a state school in Los Angeles. Sita White claims to have met
Imran at Tramp, the London niterie in 1986 and they dated off and on for
several years.
She claims that Tyrian was conceived on a last "night of love".
