Personal life
On 10 November 2025, a case was filed against Karimi's wife after a video of her surfaced at a ceremony without wearing her hijab.[3] Karimi claims the video was made without his or his wife's consent. On 2 January 2026, Karimi publicly supported the 2025–2026 Iranian protests by sharing a poem by the 11th-century Persian poet Farrukhi Sistani, which states: "Either we hit the enemy's head with a stone, or he hangs our head on a pendulum. The story in this time of deceit is, one killed is famous, while a hundred living are disgraced."[4]
