Iqrar ul Hassan’s First and Third Wives Appear Together on Podcast, Video Goes Viral

Karachi: A podcast featuring Qurat-ul-Ain, the first wife of renowned TV host Iqrar ul Hassan, and his third wife, Arusa Khan, has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread interest and reactions from fans.
This marks the first time both wives appeared together on screen, where they candidly discussed their shared husband, domestic life, and their unique relationship dynamic.
During the podcast, Qurat-ul-Ain revealed that she was the one who initially fell in love with Iqrar ul Hassan. Their relationship began through poetry and romantic exchanges, eventually leading to marriage. She also shared that she gave up her journalism career after marriage and becoming a mother, citing the demanding nature of the profession.
In a light-hearted Q&A segment, Qurat-ul-Ain was asked who she would choose to sit beside her on a flight—her husband or Arusa Khan. She humorously responded that she would choose Arusa, explaining that Iqrar could manage on his own.
She further stated that between her husband and her son, Pehlaj, she would always choose her son, whom she described as the center of her life.
Notably, throughout the conversation, there was no mention of Iqrar’s second wife, Farah Iqrar. Neither Qurat-ul-Ain nor Arusa brought her up during the podcast.
Qurat-ul-Ain praised Arusa Khan, calling her a positive addition to her life, though she didn’t elaborate further.
This appearance marks the first-ever joint podcast by Iqrar ul Hassan’s first and third wives. Iqrar married Qurat-ul-Ain, a former newscaster, before 2010 and shares a son with her. He later married Farah Iqrar, another news anchor, over a decade ago, and more recently, tied the knot with journalist Arusa Khan around two years ago. His latter two marriages were initially kept private.
In a May 2024 interview, Iqrar confirmed that his three wives do not live together, but maintain cordial relations with one another.
