During a recent conversation, Yasir openly admitted that acting with his wife proved to be more challenging than expected.
He shared that despite Iqra being an exceptionally talented actress, the dynamic of working together made things difficult.
Laughing it off, he remarked that he had only worked with her once and that too wasn’t entirely his choice.
According to Yasir, their collaboration in Ek Thi Laila happened at the request of the channel rather than his own preference.
He further explained that his role in the project was a negative one, and following that, he continued to take on similar antagonistic characters.
As a result, audiences began associating him with those roles in real life, something he finds both ironic and amusing.
Ek Thi Laila is a gripping Pakistani mystery thriller directed by Yasir Hussain, featuring Iqra Aziz in the titular role.
The story revolves around Laila, a young woman whose sudden disappearance sparks gossip and judgment within her community rather than genuine concern.
As the investigation unfolds, the narrative evolves into a sharp critique of societal hypocrisy, highlighting how quickly a woman’s reputation can be tarnished.
With its fast-paced storytelling and compelling performances, the mini-series gained attention for its bold themes and social commentary.
Off-screen, Yasir Hussain and Iqra Aziz remain one of Pakistan’s most adored celebrity couples.
The duo celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary in December 2025, marking another milestone in their journey together.
Since their much talked about wedding in 2019, they have embraced parenthood, welcoming their son Kabir in 2021 and their daughter Sophia in early 2026.
Their relationship continues to captivate fans, who admire their chemistry both on and off screen.
