Iqrar Ul Hassan has officially stepped down from ARY Network, marking the end of an era that spanned more than two decades.
The seasoned anchor and investigative journalist, best known for his hard-hitting show Sar-e-Aam, shared the news through an emotional video on social media. Speaking directly to his audience, Iqrar revealed that he had submitted his resignation to ARY’s CEO, calling the decision a deeply difficult one.
Reflecting on his journey, Iqrar described his 21-year association with the network as nothing short of a blessing. From his early audition days in 2005 to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in Pakistani television, he credited ARY for giving him fame, respect, and a platform that connected him with millions across the country.
His career, as he recounted, was shaped by witnessing some of Pakistan’s most defining moments; from the era of Pervez Musharraf to the political rise of Imran Khan. He reported on protests, covered the historic Lawyers’ Movement, and even traveled internationally to conflict zones and disaster-hit regions, including Syria, Turkey, and Burma.
Beyond reporting, Iqrar’s journey also saw him addressing parliament and delivering lectures at globally renowned institutions such as University of Oxford and University of Cambridge.
