Zari Hassan reveals son Pinto’s marriage plans, tells women to back off
By William Muthama, January 17, 2026Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has opened up about her eldest son, Pinto Ntale, revealing that he is preparing to get married and sending a clear message to women who have been pursuing him.
In a post on Saturday, January 17, 2026, Zari shared updates about her son’s personal life while emphasising the importance of respecting his boundaries.
Zari explained that Pinto has a preference for white women, noting that this is simply a matter of personal taste rather than prejudice.
She also shared that she herself has a preference for younger men, highlighting the idea that attraction is subjective and varies from person to person.
Alongside discussing preferences, Zari addressed the attention Pinto has been receiving from admirers. She made it clear that he is no longer available and that fans should stop sending unsolicited messages or trying to court him.
“My son is almost getting married. He is in love with a white woman. I’m not being racist, it’s just his preference. People like what they like. He wants white women; I want younger men. It is what it is. But, ladies, he is not available. One more message, one more DM about him, and I’ll expose it,” she said
Zari’s openness about family matters extends beyond her son. The Ugandan has, in recent times, spoken about why her husband, Shakib Cham Lutaaya, attracts so much attention from women.
In an interview, she highlighted that his appeal is amplified by her own qualities as a beautiful, intelligent, and hardworking partner.
Despite criticism over their age difference, Shakib has shared on Instagram that he has faced judgment but remains committed to their marriage, showing that Zari’s influence and their strong bond continue to shape both their personal and family lives.
