Journalist Reveals Assets After Years of Claiming Modest Lifestyle
Renowned Pakistani investigative journalist Iqrar ul Hassan has stirred controversy by publicly disclosing his property holdings, contradicting his long-standing claims of living a middle-class life. The Sar e Aam host, already known for his three marriages, admitted to owning multiple properties including a 2-kanal house in Lahore’s DHA Phase 8 and an investment plot in Karachi. This revelation comes after years of Hassan maintaining he could only afford rented accommodations throughout his career.
Details of Hassan’s Property Portfolio Emerge
During a recent interview, Hassan provided specifics about his assets:
- A nearly complete 2-kanal house in Lahore’s premium DHA neighborhood
- Another property under construction
- A one-kanal investment plot in Karachi
- A luxury vehicle acquired through rental arrangement
The journalist attributed his previous financial constraints to prioritizing house construction amid rising property prices, stating “Allah has financially given me everything which anyone can dream of, and all through the right means.”
Family Dynamics and Public Reaction
Hassan praised his three wives for their non-materialistic approach, claiming they never engage in financial disputes or demand luxuries. Public response has been divided, with some questioning the sincerity of his earlier claims of financial struggle while others defend his right to accumulate wealth through legitimate means. The disclosure has reignited discussions about transparency among media personalities and the perception of financial status in Pakistani society.
