According to details, Falak proposed to Sarah on her birthday and the couple is expected to tie the knot tomorrow.
The two have been sharing pictures from their engagement and behind the scenes on social media.
Soon after the couple made the announcement, congratulatory messages poured in for them.
While Sarah is a household name in the Pakistani drama industry, Falak is a well-known singer-songwriter, also referred to as the ‘King of Soul Style’ and ‘Mr Unplugged’. Apart from singles, Shabir has also sung songs for many Bollywood films.
Sadaf Kanwal and Shahroz Sabzwari’s wedding was the talk of the town when it happened back in May. While the couple did not share many details from the wedding, Sadaf in a recent interview said that she was very happy with the way everything turned out, adding that she always wanted an intimate and simple wedding.
“What’s the point of feeding so many people only to have them complain later,” laughed the model, when asked how she felt about her wedding given that it happened during a pandemic, without the regular festivities.
Adding to her comments, Sabzwari said: “We tied the knot in a minimal setting, as have other several renowned personalities across the world, with a presence of 70 to 80 people only. It had nothing to do with the lockdown.”
Shahroz also revealed that the food at their wedding was lavish because his mother is very particular about food and rakh rakhao.

When asked how they dealt with the hate that came their way, the couple said that the trolling never really bothered them.
“Our elders shared some very wise words with us,” said Shahroz. “Woh qafla kabhi apni manzil nahi pohancha, jis nay ruk ruk kay har bhonkay kuttay ko pathar maara ho (A procession which stops and throws stones at every barking dog, never makes it to its destination).”
“We laugh at all the hatred; it had no impact on us,” said Sadaf. “Do you think, now that you are looking at me, that I have been affected? I have a loving husband so these things do not affect me. I really don’t care about the backlash that we received on our wedding since such incidents have also happened in the past. And with a lot of people.”
Sadaf added: “Maybe they should send more hate my way so that all my sins are washed away.”
In the same interview, Sadaf said that she will not be doing any more item songs in the future because she now has a big family to consider.
“I have a big family and thus I want to be vigilant,” said the model.
Meanwhile, the couple is excited about their first project together – a telefilm titled Na Ghar Ka Na Ghaat Ka scheduled to air on Eid ul Azha.
Lockdown weddings have become a trend with many celebrities getting married during this time. The latest celebrity to tie the knot is Haroon of the 90s pop band Awaz. The singer got married in a low-key ceremony amidst close family members and friends.
The couple looked amazing in the shades of white and muted gold. While Haroon donned an outfit by Amir Adnan, his bride’s trousseau was done by Warda Qutub Khan. According to details, Haroon’s wife Farwa hails from Gilgit-Baltistan which explains why the singer posed with a Pakol (Chitrali cap) on his head.
Pictures from their nikkah went viral on social media.
Haroon is not only a renowned singer and songwriter but he is also the creator and director behind the Pakistani animated TV series Burka Avenger, which has won two prestigious international awards.
Ever since Shahroz Sabzwari and Sadaf Kanwal announced their marriage on social media, the entire country seems to be divided over the matter. While on one end people are calling them out for ruining a family given that Shahroz’s seven-year marriage with Syra Yousuf ended just a few months back, on the other end others are urging people to live and let live.
Amidst the brouhaha, Shahroz stepped in and aggressively defended his family and new wife.
In a video message, Shahroz said: “The purpose of this video is to defend myself and my family. And that is my right.” He added that he will defend himself till his last breath because he is an honest man.
“Syra and I got separated in August 2019,” revealed Sabzwari. “The reason behind our split was not another woman nor infidelity nor Sadaf, for that matter. If anyone thinks that the reason behind our separation is cheating or infidelity, I challenge them to come forward and prove it. Phir maza aye ga.”
Talking about his relationship with Sadaf, Shahroz said: “I met Sadaf for work about three to four months after my separation with Syra.”
Referring to an earlier video he had shared in which he had clarified that Sadaf and he were just colleagues, Shahroz said: “The way my first video has been edited and released, I know. But let me be clear. At that point, Sadaf was only my colleague and Syra was my wife, even though we were separated.”
“After that video, Syra and I tried to stop our marriage from breaking but because of irreconcilable differences – which are personal between me and Syra – we had to part ways.”
“I did not want to divorce Syra,” he added. “We separated with dignity.”
Shahroz further shared that he is making this video for his daughter, who “he loves a lot”.
“Maybe a few years down the line, she might come across all that the public has written about me and she will question me. This my answer to her. That I did not give in and fought back,” he said.
Shahroz asserted that he will continue to defend his family and will always tell the truth. He said people advised him to stay silent and let tongues wag but he said he couldn’t let it pass like that.

Shahroz and Sadaf tied the knot in an intimate ceremony. Except for a few pictures, the actors have not shared any further details from their nikkah ceremony. Sadaf also changed her name from Sadaf Kanwal to Sadaf Sabzwari on social media.
It appears that celebrity weddings are undeterred by the ongoing pandemic because ever since the country went into lockdown, at least three celebrity weddings have taken place: Nimra Khan, Agha Ali and Hina Altaf and most recently model Faryal Mehmood and Daniyal Raheal, who is Simi Raheal’s son and Mehreen Raheal’s brother.
The two got married in a simple and intimate ceremony with only their close family present. Daniyal announced their wedding on social media and said that the couple drove to Lahore so that they could get married in the presence of their family.
He shared that “everything was perfect. Except it was not” because Faryal’s entire family was in the States and couldn’t be part of the celebrations in person. Despite the setback, his family managed to “pull together a day that will forever warm the cockles of my heart”.
While there are limited pictures from the event, check out a few of them below, as well as of Faryal enjoying her first Eid as a newlywed.
The groom’s mother and sister
Daniyal’s mother Seemi Raheal also expressed her excitement on social media and welcomed her new bahu.
Model turned actor Amna Ilyas, who won critical acclaim for her role in Baaji, is getting married and she wants Aamir Liaquat to officiate her wedding. The actor made the revelations during her appearance on Liaquat’s game show Jeeway Pakistan.
After announcing that Ilyas has won the game, Liaquat cheekily added that she should now get married.
In response, Amna said, “Haan aap hee parhwayen gay nikkah (You will officiate the marriage).”
When Liaquat asked Amna who her to-be husband is, Amna said that she’ll tell him in due time.
From Aamir’s conversation, it was evident that he knew who Amna’s special someone is because he then asked, “Do you guys work together?” To this Amna said that they do. Amna also shared that their families are on board with everything.
The model was also spotted sporting an engagement ring during her appearance on the show, though she kept switching it around her fingers.
Meanwhile, it is being speculated that Amna’s to-be husband is photographer Ayaz Anis Khan. Amna has always been very low-key about her private life and does not share much about it. Her last film Baaji, in which she shared the screen with Meera and Osman Khalid Butt was a hit. She was set to be part of Haseena Moin’s stage play Ankahi, but due to the coronavirus lockdown, the play was postponed.
Watch from 01:05:30 to see her talk about her upcoming nuptials:
A marriage ceremony took place in Karachi, where a groom came on a motorbike to take his newly wedded wife.
As per reports, the groom went to his in-laws’ house with two witnesses for nikkah on motorbikes due to lockdown and imposed section 144 due to coronavirus spread.
Last month, at least nine members of a family contracted coronavirus after they attended a marriage ceremony in Karachi.
According to details, the nine-member family attended a marriage ceremony, where a woman infected with COVID-19 was present. The woman had arrived from Saudi Arabia and was diagnosed with the deadly virus.
The coronavirus patient met with the family in the marriage ceremony and had dinner together and infected all the people with the virus.
Despite coronavirus and lockdowns, the celebrity wedding season is in full swing. Right before the lockdown, we saw Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly tie the knot. This was followed by a surprise wedding of veteran actors Manzar Sehbai and Samina Ahmed. And right before Ramzan starts actor Nimra Khan has tied the knot.
Nimra took to social media to make the announcement. Sharing a cute photo of herself with her husband, Nimra thanked everyone for their wishes and asked her fans to pray for her. However, she did not share any further details. It is being reported that Nimra’s husband Raja Iftekhar Azam is a police officer in the United Kingdom and that the marriage was arranged by her parents. She also shared that is planning to settle in London after her marriage.

Meanwhile, the actor’s manager Waleed Nadeem and her wedding planners KhichiK Studio also shared pictures from her big day and wished her luck for her upcoming journey.

In an interview with Samina Peerzada last year, Nimra has opened up about her life and had revealed that she had been involved in a major car accident which left her bedridden. Doctors had told her parents that she wouldn’t make it, and even if she did, she would be in a coma. The actor further revealed how she had sustained severe injuries and was in excruciating pain because of which she had to take a high dosage of medicines which in turn caused her mental distress. Nimra shared that it was after this time that she met someone who made her feel loved and cared for. At that time, the actor had shared no further details about her love life.
Over the years, Nimra has made a mark in the industry and has proven herself to be a talented actor. She has appeared in several hit dramas including Baaghi, Choti Si Zindagi and Alif Allah aur Insan.
Amid heightened Indo-Pak tensions, former Bollywood actor and ex-BJP member Shatrughan Sinha was spotted attending a wedding in Lahore. Videos and pictures of him have gone viral on social media.
Reema was also seen sharing the frame with him in the video.
Further details regarding his visit have not yet been revealed. However, some media outlets have reported that the former actor is here on a two-day visit on the invitation of prominent businessman Mian Asad Ehsan, who is the father of the groom. Mian Ehsan, a celebrated filmmaker, is the grandfather of the groom. The filmmaker is associated with iconic films such as Mukhra (1958) Insaan (1966), and Mahal (1968). It is also being reported that Sinha will be meeting key political persons in the country.

Sinha’s visit comes as a surprise, especially considering that last year, the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) had banned and boycotted Mika Singh from the film industry after the singer performed at a wedding in Pakistan. Since then, Bollywood and Indian actors have refrained from interacting with Pakistani artists or people.
The relationship between the two neighbouring countries went from bad to worse after the Modi government scrapped Article 370 stripping Indian-occupied Kashmir of its special status. The valley has been under lockdown ever since.
And the wedding season continues. Naimal Khawar’s sister Fiza Khawar got married in a lovely, afternoon wedding just like her sister, and social media can’t get enough of the sunkissed pictures of the bride, groom and their celebrity family.
Check out the pictures below:
The caption says it all.
