KARACHI: Model and actress Nadia Hussain admitted to receiving money from her husband, Atif Khan, which she used to open new branches of her salon and spa business but has denied any involvement in a money laundering or fraud case after recording her statement with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Karachi.
She emphasized that she was unaware of where the money came from and believed it was a simple loan from her spouse. “I was never part of any fraud,” she told FIA officials during a two-hour session.
The funds, she added, were properly declared in her tax returns and used strictly for business purposes. Her salons, including locations at Lucky One Mall and Tariq Road, were funded using this money. Nadia also submitted a two-page written statement stating that all her business transactions were legal, registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), and completely transparent.
Nadia Hussain was accompanied by her legal team and spent over two and a half hours at the FIA office. After the session, she left without speaking to the media.
The FIA is investigating financial transactions between her personal and business accounts, as well as those of her husband. Despite the ongoing probe, Nadia maintained her innocence and expressed full cooperation with the authorities.
Earlier FIA also decided to summon Nadia Hussain for questioning in a fraud case involving her husband, Atif Khan.
Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) also launched investigation against Nadia Hussain under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) for her alleged remarks against the agency.
