Recently, Farah Iqrar appeared on Aroosa Khan’s podcast, where she opened up about the pain of losing her father.

Talking about it, Farah Iqrar said, “The time when my father was sick was quite difficult for me. Any viewer can understand that the first hero of any girl is her father, no matter what kind of person he is. When he got sick, he underwent brain tumor surgery. After he recovered, the doctor told us he only had a few months left. We were happy that at least he had some time, but unfortunately, after a few months, he was diagnosed with liver cancer, after which his health started deteriorating rapidly. I was helpless. You don’t accept such news about your loved ones; it was a very difficult time. I asked the doctor to admit him to the hospital, but he refused and said that if he had been treatable, he would have admitted him. My father used to ask me why I wasn’t getting his treatment done and what had happened to him. He was getting weaker day by day, he was getting fits, you all know about it. One day, my father left us. He was at my phupo’s house during his last days. I don’t remember what was happening there; I was just sitting next to him when someone said, ‘Look at your father’s face.’ I had no courage to see him. When I finally did, I could not recognize him. He was quiet. Whenever he saw me, he used to pray for me. My sister told me to hold his hand, which was cold. It felt like my life ended with his death. Losing a parent is unbearable.”

Kamran Shahid is a close friend of Irshad Bhatti, another well-known Pakistani journalist recognized for his fiery reviews, most recently made headlines for his second marriage to host Sama Raj soon after his first wife lost her life to cancer.

A clip of the famous anchor Kamran Shahid is making the rounds on social media in which he called out his colleague and friend Irshad Bhatti over his decision to marry again.

Kamran Shahid said, “Love keeps on happening in life, but I am telling you, whenever you truly fall for a person—not just affection but real love—may Allah grant you that true love too. Then you are consumed by that love, and the physical presence of this world becomes secondary; it loses value. It is the ultimate sacrifice. In love, you don’t wish to get anything in return. Had you been interested in your children, you would have sacrificed for them by choosing to live alone. This thought had been in my mind for quite a few days, and that’s why I have mentioned it in front of you. Had I been in your place, I would not have gone for a second nikah.” Here is the link to the video:

Many social media users are agreeing with Kamran Shahid and a few are supporting Irshad Bhatti’s decision of second marriage. Read comments:
