In an evening gathering of Virsa Heritage Revived, hosted by Sonya Hussaiyn and Yousaf Salahuddin, a surprising fun fact about Emmad Irfani came to light. Irfani, who was a guest at the show, began by mentioning that every moment spent with Salahuddin is special to him, adding that the two are relatives.

Salahuddin, who is fondly known as Mian Salli, politely cut in. "I'd like to share this one," he declared. "Emmad's great-grandmother was Allama Iqbal's sister." Salahuddin is an avid contributor of Lahore's literary circle, having devoted his life to the arts. He is also a grandson of the renowned poet, which is the connection that binds him and Irfani by blood.

The socialite famously owns the 370-year-old Barood Khana Haveli. The red-bricked building operated as a stronghold for ammunition like cannons, rifles, and gunpowder in the time of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh. It further played a key role in defending the city by functioning as a corps commander house.
