A video of renowned Pakistani TV host and journalist Iqrar-ul-Hassan discussing the possibility of a fourth marriage has gone viral, creating a storm of reactions across social media platforms.
Iqrar-ul-Hassan, who has been married three times, is no stranger to public attention regarding his personal life. All three of his wives — Qurat-ul-Ain, Farah, and Arusa Khan — are media professionals, making his relationships a frequent topic of discussion online.
The viral video, however, is not recent. It resurfaced from an old welfare event held in the United Kingdom, where Iqrar-ul-Hassan was speaking as a guest. During his speech, he addressed several social topics and also shared his personal experiences related to marriage.
In the clip, Iqrar can be heard saying that he prefers not to talk about his private life, as he does not wish to glamorize or set an example for others through his choices. He explained that his multiple marriages were never part of a plan but rather the result of “life circumstances.”
“I never intended to have three marriages,” he stated. “Circumstances led me down that path, but I would never advise anyone to do the same.”
He further added that everyone faces different challenges in life, and personal decisions often come from individual situations that others may not fully understand. Iqrar emphasized that while he does not regret his choices, he does not encourage others to follow his example.
When humorously asked about a possible fourth marriage, Iqrar laughed it off, saying he had no such plans. His light-hearted response drew laughter and applause from the audience.
Despite his clarification, many social media users remain curious about the “circumstances” that led to his multiple marriages.

Iqrar-ul-Hassan married his first wife, Qurat-ul-Ain, before 2010, with whom he shares a son, Pehlaaj. His second marriage was with anchor Farah, followed by a third with journalist Arusa Khan. Although his later marriages were initially private, they were eventually made public, with all three women maintaining cordial relations.
