LAHORE – Junaid Safdar, grandson of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and son of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, officially tied knot in a grand, closely watched wedding ceremony, and the pictures are doing round all over internet.

Nikah was solemnized by Chairman of the Council of Islamic Ideology, Mufti Raghib Hussain Naeemi, while the spiritual honor of officiating the ceremony was also associated with the Sajjada Nashin of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani’s shrine, adding religious prestige to the union.

The celebrations reached their peak as Junaid Safdar rocked traditional sehra, and the baraat departed from Jati Umra, led by PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif himself alongside Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The procession arrived at a private housing society in Lahore, marking a rare moment where Pakistan’s most powerful political figures gathered under one roof for a family celebration.
