Her husband Ashiq Hussain came on live television earlier this week claiming that the model had married him in 2008 and they had had a child together.

He also said that Qandeel’s real name was Fowzia Azeem.

Speaking to Geo News Qandeel accepted her marriage to Ashiq Hussain. “I was in an abusive marriage with him for a year and a half. My parents had married me to him against my wishes. He used to beat me up,” she said.

She added that she does not visit her son.

Earlier, a man from Peshawar claimed to be Qandeel’s first husband. In a statement to the media Shahid Baloch demanded that Qandeel remove his surname from her name. “She is giving Baloch people a bad name,” he said.

Qandeel was recently in the news for her selfies with Mufti Qavi, who was suspended from the moon-sighting Ruet-e-Hilal Committee after their pictures went viral.

Qandeel has often expressed her desire to marry Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan. In one of videos on social media she says, “Marry me Imran Khan, please.”
