Nadia Khan responds to backlash over Hiba Bukhari pregnancy reveal

Pakistani TV host and actress Nadia Khan has issued a statement after facing criticism for revealing actress Hiba Bukhari’s pregnancy on a television show.

During a recent programme, Nadia shared that Hiba Bukhari and her actor husband Arez Ahmed are expecting their first child.

The couple had kept the news private, and Nadia Khan’s disclosure drew backlash from social media users, who argued that the couple’s personal matters should have been respected.

Responding to the criticism, Nadia explained that the news was casually shared by Arez Ahmed during filming, without any instruction to keep it private.

“I was never told by Arez to keep the news a secret,” she said.

“He and Hiba are close friends of mine, and if they had wanted this to remain confidential, I would have respected their wish.”

Nadia Khan added that she did not intend to “break” any private news and was merely sharing a joyful moment.

She emphasised that it wasn’t a new revelation, but something already known among their circle.

Neither Hiba Bukhari nor Arez Ahmed have publicly commented on the matter since the incident.

The couple, who married in 2022, have chosen to stay quiet on social media regarding their personal lives.

A few days ago, Pakistani drama queen Nadia Khan spilled the juiciest tea, revealing that beloved actress Hiba Bukhari is expecting her first child!

Nadia let the news slip during an episode of Kya Drama Hai, where she’s been dishing out hot takes on the latest TV hits.

While chatting about the popular drama Jaan Nisar, starring Hiba and Danish Taimoor, Nadia couldn’t help but point out that Hiba’s glowing look and a few tell-tale signs—like a little extra weight and a bit of swelling—hinted at a baby on the way.

Nadia didn’t stop there! She showered Hiba and her hubby, actor Arez Ahmed, with congratulatory wishes, sending fans into a frenzy.
