Asfandyar Wali Khan was born in Charsadda, a small village outside of Peshawar, Northwest Frontier Province, Pakistan. He is the eldest son of Khan Abdul Wali Khan and his first wife Taj Bibi. After the death of his mother in February 1949 his father remarried, to Nasim Wali Khan in 1954. Sangeen Wali Khan was his stepbrother and eldest son of Nasim Wali Khan.

Total opposite of the idealogical politics of his Grand father Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan & Khan Abdul Wali Khan.He is playing the role of the King maker having his Nephew Chief Minister Haider Khan Hoti as his frontman.Looting & plundering the wealth of Pukhtoonkhwa province.Haider Hoti is Son of Famous Corrupt Azam Khan Hoti (ZARDARI of ANP).Now a days known as "BABA EASY LOAD" meaning if you want to let any of your illegal work done in the Pukhtoonkhwa Govt need to pay him for the Chief Minister.There4 called "Baba Easy Load.Azam Khan Hoti isn't only the real Brother In Law (Asfandyar Sister is Married with Azam Hoti) of The Asfandyar Wali but also real brother of his Step Mother Begum Naseem Wali Khan.Meaning "Charity begins at home".
