Ahmad Hassan rose to fame when he gave an interview to Shahzeb Khanzada on Geo News following the revelation of his father’s alleged affidavit in an article in The News. In the interview, he told Shahzeb, “I have to go play pool, for which I need my father’s permission. I’m going to ask my wife to ask her permission so I can play pool,” hinting that her relationship with her dad isn’t too friendly.
In another interview with presenter Gharidah Farooqi, he said he was drawn to alcohol and would have been a heavy drinker if alcohol was ‘halal’ (permitted) in Islam.
