Pakistani model and actress Nadia Hussain appeared before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in connection with a bank fraud case involving her husband, Atif Khan.
The actress recorded her statement during a two-hour session with the FIA and admitted that she received funds from her husband to establish her salon and spa business.
However, she claimed that she did not know where the money came from, and she never questioned her husband about it.
Nadia made her appearance before FIA alongside her legal team and denied any involvement in the money laundering case.
In a two-page written statement, she wrote, "My husband gave me the money. I don’t know where it came from,” she stated during the inquiry. “I used that money to invest in my salon branches located at Lucky One Mall and Tariq Road. I borrowed it from my husband and built my second and third salons with those funds."
Hussain stated that her business is registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and that the money she received from Atif Khan was declared in her tax returns as a loan.
She further explained that the funds were used to open additional branches of her salon, and were not connected to any illicit activities.
