Iqrar ul Hassan anniversary celebration with Aroosa Khan in presence of first wife Qurat ul Ain sparks fresh controversy
Iqrar ul Hassan, among the most famous investigative journalists and television personalities in Pakistan, has found himself once again amidst an intense online debate. The fearless anchor, more often nowadays than ever, draws attention not for his professional achievement but for the deeply publicized chapters of his personal life. A seemingly simple yet highly debated celebration — his second wedding anniversary with Aroosa Khan, attended and blessed by his first wife, Qurat ul Ain Iqrar.
A Marriage Timeline That Never Escapes the Spotlight
Iqrar’s personal decisions have been making headlines for years, from the initial revelation of his marriage to Farah Yousaf to the storm after Aroosa Khan admitted in 2023 that she is his third wife; this journalist’s marital life remains a top trending subject across Pakistan. The confirmation by Aroosa had created a storm online, which sent the story to the top of the social media trends graph. Within days, Iqrar went public and said the Nikah was performed with the consent and prior knowledge of his first wife, Qurat ul Ain – a statement meant to curb speculations but one that actually invited even more divided reactions.
Aroosa, Qurat ul Ain & Pehlaaj – A Blended Bond
Despite the public noise, insiders within the family have more often than not pointed to a very different picture. Aroosa Khan has spoken warmly about the equation she shares with Qurat ul Ain and Pehlaaj ul Hassan, essentially painting a picture of a home made of understanding, not rivalry. Iqrar himself speaks about the understanding between his wives in interviews time and again, stating how mutual respect ties this family.
The anniversary post Aroosa shared, which was later reposted by Iqrar, reflected that unity. The picture was not too fancy, yet it spoke volumes of togetherness. It had the three catching the moment in simplicity. But what was just a souvenir for the couple turned into a social media battlefield.
Public Backlash: A Familiar Storm
The backlash was immediate and swift. Social media critics accused Iqrar of glorifying polygamy, while others called foul on the “mutual understanding” narrative. Some viewers were disappointed, it seemed, by what they perceived as an insult to societal norms. On the flip side, proponents insist that this is a personal choice and private matter, and if the adults in such relationships are in consensual ones, then it should not be anybody’s business.
While this is not the first time Iqrar has experienced turbulence regarding his marital journey, given the pattern, it perhaps may not be the last either. Every public update about the family appears to start off a new round of highly polarized opinions, a reflection of the ever-growing divide in how Pakistani society perceives multi-marriage arrangements.
What This Means for Iqrar’s Public Image
Though Iqrar ul Hassan is still respected for his journalistic work, one cannot deny the fact that his personal life brings him under public judgment. Some people believe it displays transparency and honesty, whereas many find it a moral issue to debate on. The recent anniversary celebration — accompanied by his first wife’s presence — has added another layer to the ongoing debate.
