Rahim continued representing Pakistan, (and it was due to him that various famous tennis stars visited the country formatches in the 1970s). But his personal life wasn't always that glorious.

Though coming from a highly educated and well-to-do family, Rahim was constantly rebelling against his familysaristocratic background.

More and more he began to spend time in the United States. In 1978, while at the peak of his game, Rahim met andmarried an American woman. This did not go down well with his family who refused to acknowledge the union.

Angered by the reaction, he cut off all ties with the family. Not only did he do that, he also quit tennis and simplyvanished. He was just 29 at the time.

Some believe that he joined a roving cult in California, sold all his possessions, changed his name and appearance and

just disappeared.

Whatever the case, he was never heard from (or found) againeven though his family believes hes still living in the US(under a new name and identity).
