Farah is the second wife of Iqrar-ul-Hassan, who is also married to Qurat-ul-Ain Iqrar and Aroosa Khan.

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.”

Ahmed Shah is a popular viral sensation who first got international fame through his “angry” videos as a child creator. His fame reached new heights after Waseem Badami offered him a spot on the Shaan-e-Ramzan transmission, turning him into a TV star. Ahmed didn’t just shine alone; he used this platform to introduce his other siblings to the screen. Unfortunately, his two younger siblings, Ayesha and Umer, both passed away, and many claimed they became victims of an evil eye.

Recently, Ahmed Shah has joined back the Shaan E Ramzan after the death of Umer Shah in September 2025. Taking it to Instagram, Ahmed wrote, “Alhumdulillah, safely arrived in Karachi. Every year we used to be so happy while joining the Ramzan transmission, but this time we are happy but in pain because our prince Umer is not with us. Har saal Shan e Ramzan anay k liye hum bhi Karachi had khush hotay thay, but aaj jab hum aa rahay hain to khushi k sath sath takleef bhi bohat ho rahi hai q k hamara Shezada, hamari jaan Umar Shah aaj hamaray sath nahi hai.”

Social media users are of the view that Ahmed Shah’s family should have refused the invitation to Shaan-e-Ramzan after the passing of their two children. One user said that the children should not have been brought in the first place and that, as much as possible, they should not be made public now. Another stated that children easily fall victim to the evil eye and should be kept away from social media. One commenter said they should stay at home and focus on worship, questioning what they are doing during the sanctity of Ramadan and why the children are being exposed in other countries—asking what they are gaining from it. One user mentioned, No hate to them and they are but it seems as though Ahmed only wants the spotlight and fame, looks at the eldest one, he is sad” Another requested, “These children need to be kept away from the screen because children easily attract the evil eye.” Read here:
