Old Interview of Bushra Ansari, Ex-Husband Goes Viral
News Desk
Islamabad: An old video of Pakistan’s renowned actress, host, singer, and writer Bushra Ansari has resurfaced on social media, reigniting discussions about her personal life and views on marriage.
The clip, taken from a past episode of Ek Din Geo Ke Saath hosted by Sohail Warraich, has gone viral—triggering a wave of mixed reactions from fans.
For decades, Bushra Ansari has been celebrated as one of the most versatile and enduring figures in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. From her iconic comedic timing in Aangan Tedha to her emotional depth in Zebaish and Pardes, she has consistently showcased her artistic range.
Her career spans acting, singing, writing, and hosting—making her a true all-rounder in showbiz.
The actress was married to well-known TV producer Iqbal Ansari, with whom she shares two daughters, Nariman and Meera. After 35 years of marriage, the couple parted ways, though both have largely remained private about their separation.
In the resurfaced interview, host Sohail Warraich asks Iqbal Ansari whether Bushra is a better actress or a better wife. Iqbal responds with a light smile, saying,
“I think she has done more work as an actress, so she’s a better actress than a wife.”
Bushra Ansari, maintaining her composure, responds gracefully, saying with a smile:
“Whenever I go out somewhere, his heartbeat increases.”
The exchange, seemingly playful, has stirred intense debate online. Many social media users interpreted Iqbal Ansari’s remarks as reflective of traditional patriarchal attitudes. Comments flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with users expressing both criticism and sympathy.
One user called the exchange “a textbook example of emotional gaslighting,” while another remarked that “Bushra handled the moment with elegance and restraint.” Others pointed out that the conversation highlighted the double standards faced by women balancing professional success and personal relationships.

Some users also saw the clip as a reminder of the broader issue of how successful women in South Asian societies are often scrutinized for their independence. One comment read:
“Men always complain that they didn’t get true love, but they fail to appreciate strong, independent women like Bushra Ansari.”
While neither Bushra nor Iqbal Ansari has publicly commented on the resurfaced video, the renewed discussion underscores how deeply public memory associates Bushra’s personal life with her professional brilliance—and how conversations about gender roles in Pakistan’s entertainment industry continue to evolve with time.
