While appearing as a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt's popular podcast, Yasir Hussain shared some previously undisclosed details about his famous proposal to Iqra Aziz at the Lux Style Awards in 2019.
Yasir began by explaining that his relationship with Iqra had already reached a significant milestone before the public proposal. The couple had involved their families in their relationship discussions long before the dramatic event at the awards show.
He then revealed that the public proposal was not entirely his idea. It was orchestrated by Frieha Altaf who was keen on creating a moment of love and romance that would go viral. The Lahore Se Aagay actor also disclosed that he was given a script for the proposal, penned by writer Fifi Haroon. After Iqra accepted the proposal, the couple embraced and shared a kiss on the cheek – a moment that sparked outrage amongst netizens.
Despite the online criticism, they had plenty in their corner including Hamza Ali Abbasi. “How can you find faults in a man asking a woman for Nikkah? Because he hugged her or kissed her on the cheek? Stop it! Instead celebrate the good,” he stated before congratulating the couple.
