Khatija has performed a few songs in Tamil films, and her spouse is an audio engineer and budding entrepreneur, for those who are unaware. On December 29, last year, Khatija Rahman engaged Riyasdeen Riyan. With the blessings of the Almighty, I’m happy to announce to you all my engagement with Riyasdeen Shaik Mohamed @riyasdeenriyan, an aspiring entrepreneur and a whiz audio engineer. The engagement happened on 29th December, my birthday in the presence of close family and loved ones,” she wrote while announcing her engagement.
When novelist Taslima Nasreen labelled Khatija’s burqa suffocating in 2020, she became entangled in a dispute. Khatija, on the other hand, handled the situation with grace. She stated that she was free to dress as she pleased.
