Amir Khan and his parents had been embroiled in a feud, however, it ended in May 2020 when the boxer, his wife Faryal Makhdoom and their three children visited their home in Bolton.
The reunion was an emotional one because it was the first time Shah and Falak had met their grandson, Muhammad Zaviyar.
The get-together was the first time since December 2018 that Mr and Mrs Khan had seen their son and Faryal and their two other grandchildren, Lamaisah and Alayna.
A source to the Daily Mail said: “It was a very emotional reunion because both Shah and Falak have really missed not seeing Amir and his family.
“They were also devastated that they had not seen their grandson and there were a lot of tears and joy when they laid eyes on him for the first time.
“There’s been a lot of harsh words exchanged between the two sides over the past few months, but this current coronavirus situation has made them see what’s really important. And that is your family.”
