Visa restrictions keep 'Super Rich in Korea's Kim Anna and her royal husband apart
Another cast member, Kim Anna, is still married to her husband from a noble family in Pakistan. As a result, she frequently travels between the two nations. Anna is married to Malik Muhammad Qamar Hayat Tiwana. They met via a family friend.
The couple owns both a vacation property and a manor in Pakistan. Interestingly, they even keep pet lions and tigers, a rare and unconventional choice given the restrictions in both Korea and Pakistan. Anna's family occasionally visits her holiday house in Lahore.
Qamar enjoys auto racing and, hence, has an extensive collection of cars. Additionally, the couple owns a historic 200-year-old manor in Sargodha, adding to their illustrious property portfolio. His great-grandfather was Punjab's former Premier. In his day, he would have been regarded as noble.
The lord of the manor was claimed to have presided over 32 villages in Sargodha. "I guess you could say my husband has sovereignty over those 32 villages," Anna said in her confessional.
Anna revealed in the series that Qamar faced challenges obtaining a visa to enter Korea due to his Pakistani nationality. The processing of his visa was further delayed by the pandemic.
As a result, Qamar was unable to visit Korea during the filming of the show. Consequently, he missed the opportunity to meet Anna's friends and family in Korea.
Qamar candidly shared that while he doesn't hold a traditional job, he takes pride in managing his farm. "I'm unemployed. That is not factually incorrect." Qamar felt fortunate because Anna knew nothing about his family before meeting him and "loved me for who I was."
In reality, Anna volunteered to take care of Qamar and assured him not to worry about financial matters. She even promised to purchase him a property in Korea, since she believed he was "unemployed." As per Anna's Instagram postings, it doesn't seem like Qamar has made it to Korea yet.
'Super Rich in Korea' is streaming in its entirety on Netflix.
