This week, the wedding of Junaid Safdar, grandson of former Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, with Shanzay Ali Rohail, dominates Pakistani social media. 

However, instead of the bride, groom, or even CM Punjab, Maryam Nawaz herself, all the attention was taken by an unexpected personality.

If you have been active on the internet in recent days, it would not be hard to guess who it was. But for those who are still unaware, the most talked-about person at this wedding was senior Punjab minister Marriyum Aurangzeb.

The 45-year-old politician is a well-known public figure and has previously served on several important posts, including as federal information minister. 

On January 16, when pictures from Junaid’s mehndi surfaced online, Marriyum Aurangzeb was seen wearing a dark green outfit, which immediately caught attention. Netizens began commenting on her changed appearance.

The next day, on the baraat, her look drew even more discussion. Dressed in an elegant ivory outfit with front side-parted, half-open hair, she appeared completely different and much younger than her age. Soon, her pictures were all over the internet.

Many people praised her transformation, while others tried to decode the reason behind it. 

Some dermatologists also joined the viral trend, guessing which cosmetic procedures or surgeries might be behind her changed look. As expected, memes also followed.

Speculations began circulating, including weight loss through Ozempic, rhinoplasty, Botox, fillers, and other procedures. 

What the reality is, only Marriyum Aurangzeb herself can confirm. But one thing is clear: at Junaid Safdar’s second wedding, Marriyum Aurangzeb undeniably stole the spotlight.
