He spends his leisure time with his family and enjoys watching television. He likes reading books. Reading as a passion helps him to have a better perspective of the current affairs, politics and economic management. His analytical skills help him to make the best use of the knowledge pool available to him. He feels a strong urge that the youngsters of Pakistan must rise above prejudices to help Pakistan shine. He feels that the young folk must not get involved in blame game and conspiracy theories, and must get more connected. He believes this will give them more insight into the political scenario prevalent in Pakistan as well as around the globe. He feels that the youngsters must acknowledge the Power of Unity, and equip themselves with strengths which will help them develop a clear vision in life. He believes that there is no shortcut in life, no shortcut to success. Hard work is what makes life a success; hard work makes it beautiful, meaningful and above all rewarding in a way which gives lifetime pleasure.
During his childhood, cricket and cycling used to make his days worth living. These entertainments are now his memories which he cherishes with happiness and a nostalgia which makes him strong.
He has a taste for poetry and regards Iqbal’s work real good. He likes the writings of Irfan Siddiqi, Irfan Chaudry, Abdul Qadir Hasan and Ayaz Amir. Live Music soothes his soul and makes him feel good. He likes horses and is fond of gardening.
Sports have always been a part of his life. He is a good player of Cricket, Basketball and Tennis.
Ahsan Iqbal has been to places around the world. He loves China for their civilization, the Holy City of Madina for the aura of Spirituality, Milan for its heritage and Japan for its industrial development.
His political career started way back in 1980 – 81 when he joined IJT, while he was a student at UET Lahore. The initial days of his political career with Jamiat helped him to learn the very basic ethics and norms of politics of which he is proud of even today. Later he joined Pakistan Muslim League (N) in 1988, and today he is the Secretary Information of the party. His long association with PML (N) has given him the sense of belonging to a fine service. Elaborating on his party’s manifesto, he emphasized on the Restoration of Judiciary, as a matter of principle and as a significant contribution in helping to make Pakistan strong as well. He regards Nawaz Sharif as a leader who is competent and is well-versed with politics.
Ahsan Iqbal is quite optimistic about Pakistan. He feels that twenty years down the line Pakistan will be a bridge connecting South Asia and Central Asia. Pakistan will be an important player in Asian Affairs and will be the hub of economic activity making best use of its unique location on the world map. He believes that if the problems of “Rule of Law” and “Education” are addressed we can surmount even the insurmountable.

Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping opened China's economy to the world while maintaining strict ideological control. He also regards Mahatir Muhammad and Nelson Mandela as leaders worth emulating. He has special regard for “Lee Kuan Yew” who is Singapore’s founding father.
