Pakistani actress and host Nadia Hussain has distanced herself from any involvement in fraudulent activities connected to her husband, Atif Khan. She stated during her two-hour interrogation by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in relation to a bank fraud case that she was unaware of the origin of the funds.
The “Sitamgar” star acknowledged receiving financial assistance from her husband to help establish and expand her salon and spa business. However, she made it clear that she had no knowledge of the source of the money and denied any participation in illegal activities.

“I never inquired about where the money came from. I was never involved in any fraud,” she said. Nadia’s statements were recorded by the FIA and added to the case file, as she was questioned about the financial transactions between her and her husband’s accounts.
Atif Khan is currently in FIA custody, facing allegations of defrauding a company of Rs540 million. Investigators claim that Nadia was a major beneficiary in the case.
Reports indicate that since 2019, Rs26.4 million has been transferred from Atif Khan’s personal accounts to Nadia’s salon business in 19 separate transactions. Authorities suspect these funds to be part of a larger Rs1.2 billion fraud, where Atif Khan allegedly used company and bank resources to cover his business losses.
