In a video that he uploaded on his Twitter account, he said, "When we managed to find this blackmailer. He blamed that girl saying that she stole 1.5 lakh Rs. from his car. As a human, not as an anchor, I ended up slapping him. I have not done this in hiding or in any torture room. I knew there were a lot of cameras, people were recording it on their phones but I couldn’t control myself.” [8]Daily Pakistan • Faced Criticism For Praising India: In January 2021, Iqrar shared a tweet that declared India as the 'vaccine hub' of the world and wrote, "India vs Pakistan.

Iqrar made another tweet in which he mentioned how the passport and currency of Pakistan lacked in value than its South Asian counterparts. His tweets outraged many Paksitanis who severely criticised him and called him 'anti-national' for supporting India. People on social media also demanded an apology from him for his tweets.
