Senior Pakistani actress Munazzah Arif, known for her performances in several popular dramas, has revealed that she once jokingly advised her husband to consider a second marriage.

In a recent interview, Munazzah Arif opened up about her acting career as well as her personal life.

She eventually transitioned into acting and has been living in Karachi for an extended period due to her projects.

Sharing a lighthearted moment from their relationship, she mentioned that during her long stays in Karachi, she once casually told her husband that he could marry again if he ever felt lonely.

She said she expected him to laugh, but instead he became worried and asked why she was giving such advice and whether she had something else in mind.

Laughing while narrating the incident, Munazzah Arif clarified that it was merely a joke between husband and wife and that her husband did not take it seriously—nor would he ever.

During the interview, she described her husband as a complete “green flag,” saying he has always stood by her at every step.

KARACHI: Pakistani actor and model Hassan Ahmed recently shared the harrowing details of his kidnapping during an appearance on a private TV show. The host inquired about his career, personal life, and the shocking incident.

Hassan revealed, “One night after finishing a shoot, I was heading home and stopped at an ATM. Suddenly, 5 to 6 men forcibly put me in my own car and took me to an empty plot in Defence. They parked my car, transferred me and my belongings to their vehicle, made me lie on the car floor, covered me with a cloth, and sat on me.”

He added that the kidnappers later bound him with chains, only loosening them briefly for meals or bathroom breaks. “I was held captive for 35 days until a ransom was negotiated. When the CPLC got involved, a raid was conducted on the night of ransom collection, but I wasn’t present. During the operation, some money fell from the kidnappers’ hands, and one accomplice was arrested while the main kidnapper escaped,” he said.

Hassan continued, “The next morning, a man without a mask came to me, claiming he was not involved in the kidnapping but only lent his car, and then he released me. After 35 days, I finally saw daylight.”

Reflecting on the aftermath, he shared, “My mental state was so fragile that when I returned home, I broke down in tears, apologizing even to household staff. To this day, I don’t know if the kidnappers were caught.”
