    Why did Saadia Imam wear someone else’s dress on her wedding?

    One of the best things about getting married is to choose a gorgeous wedding dress. But poor Sadia Imam got deprived of the opportunity to wear the dress of her choice.

    The actress has revealed that her wedding dress was burnt during preparation.

    She appeared on a morning show where she talked about her marriage and the wedding day. “I used to work in a clothes factory and I was working on my wedding dress and during that time, the electricity short circuited, the whole factory burnt down and my wedding dress also got burned”

    She said, “It was my mother’s favorite color, I was very sad, I had made one of my customers the same wedding dress that she was going to wear at her wedding, so I asked the customer for a picture of the wedding dress. This girl then told me, ‘You can wear my wedding dress. My wedding is after yours.’”

    She further added, “I wore this girl’s dress at my wedding and later made a new one of the same”.

    Iqra Aziz opens up about Saboor Aly’s wedding dress controversy

    Iqra Aziz recently explained why she ended up using a wedding dress similar to her co-star Saboor Ali’s in the drama ‘Manat Murad.’

    Iqra Aziz appeared as a guest on a talk show where she spoke about the controversy surrounding the copy of Saboor Ali’s wedding dress. “Actually, we wanted a traditional dress to shoot the wedding scene in the drama as it was the director’s demand but we couldn’t find any traditional dress despite trying hard. So the director showed me the picture of the couple after a little research. On doing this I found out that this is a pair designed by Faiza Saqlain.”

    The actress said that they approached Faiza Saqlain. “We couldn’t change the dress completely, so I kept the dupatta and gharara same and requested her to change the shirt of the dress.”
    “With this dress, we also kept the jewelery simple and traditional,” she added.
    Iqra Aziz said, “I designed my entire bridal look for the play myself. I won’t say I copied it but my look was really inspired by Saboor Ali’s wedding look because she wore it at her wedding. She looked very beautiful and I wanted to look as beautiful as her in the drama.

    “But my dramatic bridal look was inspired by Saboor Ali’s wedding look and the outfit I wore was not technically Saboor Ali’s but I got it from a designer, I didn’t know that. It would have become a big problem otherwise I would have asked Saboor Ali before shooting because I am one of those people who care about others’ happiness.”

    Minal Khan and Ahsan Mohsin Ikram’s wedding has been the talk of the town over the past week, with the bride’s looks taking centre stage in most discussions about the festivities.

The pishwas was paired with a tailed lehenga to add a touch of royalty to the look.

    The designer of the dress, Annus Abrar, took to Instagram to share the painstaking process of bringing the dress from the drawing board to life. Sharing pictures of Minal in the dress, the designer wrote, “Minal looks like a dream in a floor-length pishwas paired with farshi lehenga in shades of raspberry pink and red incorporated with handcrafted zardozi and kamdani detailing.”

    Days after Minal’s September 10 wedding, Abrar gave a deeper insight into the creation of her dress, taking to his Instagram stories to share videos and pictures of artisans at work. “Making of Minal’s bridal. Stunning shade of cranberry red with deep maroon applique incorporated with kamdani and zardozi,” he shared.

    Abrar also shared that the elaborate bridal had 38 kalis (panels), which gave the dress the perfect twirl-worthy volume. “Over 55 artisans worked day and night to create this magical piece of couture,” he said, likening it to a ‘creative village’ at work.

    After a long and stellar events, Minal and Ahsan finally tied the knot in a glittering event among friends and family on September 10.
