Family background
editMir Ghazanfar belongs to the ruling family of Hunza. He is the son of the last ruling Mir of Hunza, Muhammad Jamal Khan. Mir Mohammad Jamal Khan was the son of Mir Ghazan II. Mohammad Jamal Khan was named Mir on 25 September 1974. When he died in 1976, his son Ghazanfar Ali Khan II became the non-sovereign head of the state in 1976. The State of Hunza was dissolved by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Prime Minister of Pakistan on 25 Sep 1974. Thus, the title of Mir is only titular.
Mir Ghazanfar has 3 sons: Prince Salim Khan, Prince Shehryar Khan and Prince Salman Khan.
