Pakistani journalist and anchorperson Farah Yousuf has officially broken her silence to address and deny the swirling rumors of a separation from her husband, senior journalist Iqrar ul Hassan.

When a follower directly asked if she had separated from Iqrar, Farah provided a clear and heartfelt explanation. She clarified that “Yousuf” is her father’s name, a identity she carries with immense pride.

“A father’s relationship is the most precious one,” she stated. “So many people know me by my father’s name, and I am proud of it.” She even revealed that she sometimes considers changing her social media bio back to “Farah Yousuf” for this reason.

Addressing the technical aspect, she explained that some of her older, verified social media accounts cannot be updated, which is why they still show her previous name.

Putting all rumors to rest, she firmly declared, “There has been no separation between us. People make up news as they please. Both names are respectable to me, and I consider them both my own.” She concluded by urging her fans not to believe in unverified news.
